Thanks for the guide! I can tell you had a hard time taking the sway bar link off because the strut and link are new in your demonstration, then the next step is the old strut 🤣. Always buy new links when you replace your struts, folks!

So does this mean if you replace the sprint and strut as one unit you won’t have to compress the spring?

10 mm
17 mm wrench

[@tate3220]

Can anyone confirm this part is safe? Trying to decide to go this rout or OEM

[@sylviaisgod6947]

[@josephzuniga2994]

It’s a good quality TRQ shocks?

[@flyonawall6521]

Wheel alignment required after this?

[@TRQ]

+@flyonawall6521 Yes, an alignment will be needed.

[@525joshua1]

How bad does replacing struts mess up your alignment.

Anyone know the size of the push pins that secure the hood cowl? I broke mine taking the cowl off 🫤
