  • The front struts are part of the suspension system of the vehicle. It supports the weight of the vehicle and also absorb the impact from the road to ensure a smooth ride.
    The struts of the vehicle should last about 7 to 8 years for the average driver.
    Symptoms of bad struts:
    Vehicle move up and down at highway speeds
    Vehicle lean to one side on turns
    The front end drives more than expected during hard braking
    Rear-end squat during acceleration
    Rough idling
    Tires bouncing excessively
    Wavy tire wear
    Leaking Fluid on the exterior of the struts
    Torque Spec
    Knuckle to bottom strut connection: 123 ± 7 ft-lb (167 ± 9 N⋅m)
    Vehicle frame to top strut nuts: 33 ± 3 ft-lb (44 ± 5 N·m)
    Self-Locking Nut on top of the strut: 45 ± 7 ft-lb (60 ± 10 N·m)
    Wheel Lug Nut: 73 ± 7 ft-lb (98 ± 10 N·m)

    I liked it that you mentioned the tightening moments. I can easily convert the foot pounds to my European equivalents.

    This is great, a very clear tutorial. I'm wondering if the same sequence of events would work for a MITSUBISHI LANCER GLXi, GLI Auto CE (right hand drive) 1999 model as well? I'm planning on replacing my front struts, brake pads and rotors since it seems relatively simple, even for me... saves me like $600 by not getting a mechanic to do it. That's money I don't have, so any info you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey, KC, I have an unrelated question. When you turn your key to the "On" position, can you hear the fuel pump priming? I was wondering if it's normal NOT to hear it on this model. I'm trying to diagnose a "Crank, no start" condition on mine.
