Swapped out the front struts on the GFs 2011 RDX today - thanks for the great tutorial Viktor. I have access to a wall mounted strut compressor so I opted to rebuild the struts using Monroe bearings & struts. I found upon removal that the boots/bellows were shot so I had to quickly source some new ones mid-job. The only sets available in town were KYB and just as a warning to anyone planning on doing the same, the KWB bellows and bumpstops do not play well with the Monroe struts and bearings - try to source the Monroe bellows. If I were to do it again I'd just get ready struts instead. Anyways, thanks for the video! Much appreciated.

I saw from another video you may need an alignment? Also where is the connector? It's my first time doing and I'm trying to solve the ADS sensor warning light on my dash.

Hi, I do say in the video that a wheel alignment is strongly recommended after front strut replacement. The model I was working on was not equipped with ADS.
