2004-2014 F-150 Front Strut Replacement

In this video I show you how to replace broken front springs and struts on your 2004 to 2014 F-150. Broken springs are a common problem with these trucks. I used a set of strut/spring assemblies by Monroe because the truck that I was working on still had the originals on it and it had over 120,000 miles on them. If the mileage on your truck is lower you can replace just the springs but the strut must be disassembled, the new springs installed, then reassembled. Replacing the broken springs with a new strut assembly is much quicker. Here are some links to the parts and the tools that I used:

You're supposed to torque the bottom nut on the strut with the weight of the vehicle on the suspension or the bushing in the strut will get damaged.

[@alexanderchenf1]

Repair? No way repairing that spring would be a good idea

[@gene2200]

Only 2nd video I've seen where everything wasn't removed that didn't need to be, good job.

[@darrelpainter4610]

There called shock and springs not struts

[@dannyorsello8668]

I did this job on my 07 F150, did the brakes at the same time, wish I had your shop and lift, I did in my driveway with jacks, it wasn't easy.

[@mechanicauto9704]

dont need that much on it

[@SSNReactorOperator]

Probably shouldn’t make a video admitting he can’t apply the specified torque to a critical fastener on a customer’s vehicle because he doesn’t have the right torque wrench.

I recommend on a 4x4 you replace upper control arms if they are bad before putting in new strut

[@robnation2475]

Most wannabe alignment shops make it worse... Or return it to you with your steering wheel off-center.

[@jameslester3861]

Tapping the end of a threaded bolt with a hammer... not a good idea. 😬

Excellent camera work, i could see everything like i was there, audio is perfect as well. Thanks very much for sharing, now i know i can do it, and not only that, i can do it in my garage. Very helpful

I just used my new benpack this weekend with my powerstroke excursion and it lifted it with ease and with the frame rail pads and some stabilizing jack under it just to take the wiggle out of it was awsome . I love not rolling around on the ground anymore lol nice vids keep the coming . I would live to see done dmax vids too.

[@ridemydirt2005]

You weren't joking about the high torque on those lower shock bolts. Thanks for the very helpful video. I used your video to help me with installing a 3 inch leveling kit on my 2011 F150 4x4. Thanks again. I hope you have a great day.
