In the rust belt on 200k mile cars nothing ever comes apart that easy.

No torque specs for the lower strut bolt?

@davidhoulden5791 5 жыл бұрын

Yea I didn't see him torque that bolt down. 203 lbs like the rear I guess.

You guys should do a video on how to replace the front struts on a 2011 Dodge Durango AWD!

+syncronisity1 We currently do not have an auto repair video that covers this particular repair. We will keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future. 1aauto.com

Wouldn’t it have been less work to just disconnect the upper control arm instead of disconnecting the tie rod. Especially since you disconnected the upper control anyway. And you could just lift the assembly up over the knuckle. Just and observation. But I do appreciate your videos.

Is this similar to a 03 Ford explorer xlt

@1AAuto 7 жыл бұрын

+MiggySlayer Thank you for checking us out. The process should be very similar, although sizing could be different on the hardware. 1aauto.com

I have a 2007 sport trac. Will this suspension fit ? Is it the same suspension ?

@1AAuto 3 жыл бұрын

+Benjamin Perez Thanks for checking us out! This will be different for your Sport Trac. You can take a look to see if we have the parts you need on our webiste: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c This video may follow the same procedures for the repair but the parts will be different.

Do you need to remove the stabilizer link?

@1AAuto 6 жыл бұрын

+Mike Both If the suspension does not fall far enough to remove it, you may have to. 1aauto.com

No removal of the stabilizer links?

@jarodmorris4408 9 ай бұрын

Don't need to on the front. The back requires that, but not the front.

Then you can buy a new abs sensor from 1a auto... pro tip: don't hang your suspension from the abs wires

Remove the sway bar link for easy removal and really no need for a pry bar, even with a pry bar it was really hard to get the strut out. After I removed the sway bar link, it was ridiculously easy to remove it.

Forgot to say something about the sway link lol.

Should the front end be aligned after this job?

@1AAuto 5 жыл бұрын

+David Houlden It is recommended to have an alignment after any repair or replacement is made on suspension parts. +1A Auto

The process did not work for me at all. I cannot get the strut out even after taking everything apart as described. Maybe I'm missing something but I don't think so. The most important part to me at this poiint is the removal of the strut which isnt really shown. Beyond frustrated. Hopefully the parts you buy from this place work better than this video.
