Chevrolet Malibu 2009 Front Strut Assembly Replacement

2008 Chevy Malibu strut replacement. Both sides of the car are lifted onto the jackstands. The nuts are loosened. The pins are hammered out. The strut is suspended by one nut ontop. The strut is lifted, the nut is removed, and the strut is gently taken out.

Impressed on how you managed to change that with only one hand

[@ShesBaked]

Eddie Dero I was thinking the same 😅

Thank you for the simple explanation of each step.
I got stuck on the upper nut of the Sway Bar link. I had to purchase a T-40 tip to prevent the bolt from turning.
My second problem was removing the rusted plate holding the brake line (located towards driver). I noticed you removed the rusted plate with bolt pushing it towards you.
Will continue tomorrow. Wish me luck.
Laters.
Stay Safe My Friends.

The sway bar links were the biggest headache while changing my struts in my 2008 Malibu

Liked the limited but clear method of describing each and every action. Nothing left to chance; well detailed.

Omg

Thanks for the video, this alone will save me a lot of time and hassle trying to have a shop charge me $1300-$1500 to do.

[@rizeoutlaw2239]

My local shop only charges 300 for the job your shop is definitely trying to screw you

[@ricepadi29]

Looks simple enough. Thanks bro getting to do mine in a few minutes.

[@keiyrandowell7537]

[@eugenew6717]

[@Esquimalt4Life]

Thank you sir great video

[@whatyoumeanthirsty6132]

I am going to gloat for just a second and say I felt a little bad for you fighting with some of those fasteners down here in the south we don’t have rust or corrosion like that

[@wraith6617]

Great Video!!! Awesome job!!!

[@juanroman7757]

Great!! Thanks man

[@mexifin]

Great job 👏

[@brianmccabe881]

Very well presented.

[@GustavoGarcia-hd9xz]

Very good

[@joekoenig9587]

A impact gun and some deep well sockets would have made this job 50% easier. And no torque wrench to torque the nuts to the proper specs?

[@Ezq95]

Great video

[@trevonjames2380]

So no torque specs needed?

[@user-gk3lu1gg9t]

19:55 well that was pretty cryptic

[@robanders7650]

thanks for the laugh! hahaha I stopped the video at 19:56 to check comments for that!

[@lilamize7676]

How come the arrow has to be towards the engine is that a critical thing or is it just the way it's done ???

[@fernandoboss1740]

Men do you even have any power tools???

[@operationawesomesauce9595]

For this power tools would be a mistake

[@fernandoboss1740]

@operation awesomesauce yea if your living in the 1900s
