@ItsDarkvoidOG, only the front of the mustang is struts. The rear has shocks and they are easier to replace. Check out my channel as I have a step-by-step replacement video for those as well.
I had new kyb’s installed but then weeks later or so there’s clunky noise that started on the right whenever I steer to turn wheels. Any idea what the problem would be?
I know this will sound like a stupid question but I took my 06 mustang in for an alignment and was told that the steering knuckle as well as the ball joint needed to be replaced ... I had been in a very minor accident that caused the top of the wheel to be tilted in. So my son replaced it from a salvage 05 mustang. Side note: the shop said the strut and bracket needed be replaced) how can you tell if the knuckle needs to be replaced? Thank You
Mary Duff, if you were in an accident, there are many parts tied into the suspension that could have been affected and all of the items you listed are possibilities. While a bent steering knuckle is more rare, it's not out of the realm of possibility. Check out this old article I found that discusses alignment issues. www.brakeandfrontend.com/when-to-replace-steering-knuckles-and-arms/
Good observation Justin. I was already replacing them which is why I removed them. But I will say, that having the rotors removed definitely provides easier access to the strut lower mounting bolts.
Best video for how to videos !! I wish everyone was half as good as this guys!!
@ryanhamilton9709, thanks for the compliment. I’m just a guy out to help others without all the unnecessary bs.
Great video thinking about replacing all 4 struts

Very well done video, excellent instructions
Just an FYI Jeff, the 2 strut to knuckle bolts are actually 18mm and not 21mm as mentioned when you were removing them.
@Solitaire 514, thanks for the correction.
Great video Jeff!!
@Hugo Bravo, thanks!
@@DIYJeff you’re welcome!

My first inclination is that either the strut mount malfunctioned or a bolt was not tightened to the correct torque spec and has come loose.
How do I go about fixing it? I can try 😂 thanks a lot man, with how expensive things can be nowadays you’re god sent. Keep it up man.

It’s a good video but there are other videos showing how to do this without having to takeoff the rotor and brakes

Thank you so much.
1973cableguy, glad the video was helpful for you.
