OK this is what I needed to know . I'm doing this for the first time and the video is very good and understandable.

I can't see spending a lot of money replacing something that I can do myself, the more I do the more I learn thank God for YouTube. lol

@Blackoutx4500x you should know how after watching this....

I dont think u  have do alignment on these type of struts

[mrchopperking1]

To all of you do it yourselfers; the mechanic installed the ever so important essentric washer and bolt in backwards;so pay attention to what your doing and( think outside the box) also use a paint marker or nail polish to mark the spring and strut bearing and everything that touches that spring.and make sure you use anti seize compound on your bolts a little dab will do....jab a big screw driver in the lower bolt hole and it will mount faster do the top lower bolt first.

Boy you guys that know how to fix this stuff are lucky. My strut broke and its gonna cost me a lot to get it fixed:(

I could be mistaken, and I apologize if I am, but it did appear that the two lower mounting bolts were installed backwards. They were removed by tapping them out from the front towards the rear of the car, and they were reinstalled in the same fashion. But overall, it was an excellent video. I am thinking about getting a 10 ton shop press for doing those.

Wow they make it look so easy i wish i would have searched this video a long time ago.

@javafanskajagskriva its not something you can do youself unless you have an alignment rack in your garage. you will have to take it into a shop or dealership that has an alignment rack. not sure where you are but in alberta its like $120 for an alignment. if you don't get one after doing some type of front end repair like this, your tires will wear out real quick if you don't get stuff back together close to where it was.
