🤔 I didnt do all of those extra steps. Took the 3 bolts from the top, 2 bolts from the bottom and pulled the strut out from the side. 07 Yukon Denali. 10min.
Good vid though

[@doriandugas4732]

You can take it out the top without removing the upper a arm and steering linkage.

[@west-virginia-coon-hunting3829]

Very informative, thanks!

[@johnlee8734]

Do you have to drop the truck to ride height and tighten the bottom strut bottom torqu specs?

[@johnlee8734]

What are the actual torque specs, some videos say 75-80ft/lbs, but this video and Haynes Manuel say 37ft/lbs?

[@Coolguy88359]

Do you need to pull anti seize on the threads?

[@Rocketboy991]

I never put the hub caps on with a impact wrench , they are just plastic and will break.

[@Matthewstu]

How much torque for the big nut I don't think you showed that

[@forrishudkins2583]

You forgot to put axle nut & washer back on

[@gushernandez4]

That seems like too much, with all that out should’ve replaced upper control a arm , inner/outer tie rod

[@flow1180]

My Truck has 1 mounting but not 3. 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 classic 4.8

[@KaraboLegwaila]

How long is this supposed to take a professional? I have a mechanic telling me that it will take 2 1/2 hours per front strut. After watching this video, it seems he's trying to rip me off.

[@tommygarcia7406]

And now, for an alignment.

[@JulianFRosales]

Interesting how you skipped the wheel hub bolt.

[@tommygarcia7406]

WHAT??
