    I did my Camry front struts 2 weeks ago with the old school clamp ( scary). I have to do the rear and have been putting it off until I saw your video. That new clamp is such an improvement. I'm getting one! Thanks for the video. It was excellent.

      @@downtheshedwithbyron I was changing the console over with a better one but my driveway is on an angle. As doon as I put it into neutral, it rolled back into the garage denting the door & cracking my driver side bumperette. I'm on the hunt for one at the moment. I had the handbrake on but it still rolled back, so that's another job for this weekend coming.

    This a fantastic little channel matey..so glad I found it.
    Your videos are a good length with great tips & video how to, without all the fluff & umpteen sponsors.
    I reckon the VY was the best of the commodores built, before Holden started to cheap out on quality thanks to GM Detroit.
    Thanks again Byron, top job.

    I tried to see but I couldn't. You mentioned the "Concave" washer differently on each side. Maybe they were the same but I couldn't see. If you look at the assembly on the video you might see what I mean. Anyway mate, that's my 2 bobs worth. Cheers, thanks for the Video.

      I did notice it too. When the lower bowl concave washer came out, it was facing down towards the bump stop. When you reinstalled it, the washer was put in upwards towards the bottom of the strut mount like a bowl holding the strut. That could cause damage to the lower part of the strut mount.

    Hi mate should you tighten the top strut mount plate nut once the wheels are on the ground?
