The alignment part was very useful, first time doing this and well that’s kinda where I’m at so now I have to do that , and everything should be ok, thanks very informative
I know you did this months ago but is there by any chance you can tell me the bolt/part number for the bult you have to unscrew with a 18mm to remove the strut in the video?
In my experience, all suspension work is a two person job; you can get lucky and have it go quick, but having a second person who understands the physics of what you're trying to accomplish in each step is a big advantage in both time and the physicality required; I try to hire someone for $40 bucks or whatever if I am changing out struts and axles and lower controls arms---I do them all as I dislike to take out old parts and not replace them with new parts. You can replace nearly the entire front suspension of a car, both sides, in an hour with a talented assistant at you side. The only problem is that if the person assisting you doesn't 'get it' as in they can't understand the physics involved, then they just get in the way and you're better served repairing the car alone.
Thanks for including the torque specs too. Great step by step video.
Hope it helped, thanks for watching! :)

Glad to be of assistance
Nice job
@@ronaldgreen8157 thanks
Shouldn't you have load on the vehicle before torquing the bolts?
@@michiganman845 yes that would be ideal of the life of the bushings as they aren’t subject to loaded tension. Not a huge deal tho
Se aprietan en el suelo de la parte superior.

I have spent two hours doing what he does in about 20 seconds from 8:10-8:30 😢
