Just gotta give a huge thanks to yall for how much money yall have save me with these SRX videos. I've done so much and have lots of confidence working on my own car now because of the videos you guys have put out. Please keep em coming!

[@janghyuk8636]

looks like a simple job! thanks for the video!

[@petegalt2766]

I appreciated the video. Installation on my 2012 was even easier than shown in the video. I did have a question/concern about the top hats that came with my replacement struts. So I ended up using the originals. Even still, it seemed like they bottomed out on the nut (the one holding everything together under tension). Thoughts? I see in your video that they are turning when you use the torque wrench. Is that expected?

[@RBZ06LT6]

Just to make sure, did you guys unbolt the the top bolt previously before filming that part? It seems like there is a big play there.

[@rmstark1966]

If everything goes decently how long per side is it to do?

[@alidi4144]

Wow something on a Cadillac that doesn't require the whole car to be disassembled!!
