Easy DIY on how to replace shocks/struts on a Nissan Altima. This is a similar process on any car that has a McPherson style strut.
Basis tools needed:
- 21mm socket and wrench
- 18mm socket
- 13mm socket or wrench
- 10mm socket
- 1/2 ratchet or 3/8 ratchet
- 1/2 drive torque wrench

This video helped me out the most,thanks appreciate it
Great video , thanks my man. Would be nice to have the torque specs of the strut top bolts and on your page. Thanks again.
I have read other sources and have seen other videos that prescribe the following installation sequence: (1) loosely install the three upper strut tower bolts, (2) install and torque to final specification (140 Nm) the two lower strut mounting bolts/nuts, (3) install and torque to final specification (78.5 Nm) the sway bar link nut, (4) install wheels, (5) lower vehicle to ground, (6) torque to final specification (35 Nm) the three upper strut tower mounting bolts. Tightening the three upper strut tower mounting bolts before lowering the vehicle to the ground can result in damage to the strut tower bearings and lead to the noise that some viewers have reported when turning the drive wheels at low speed.
Excellent video!!
Thanks
Great video man!
Thanks for the video, also, my 13/16 socket fit better than the 22.. so heads up (Y) :)

Normally changing the stunts in this car does not greatly affect the alignment but it never hurts to get it checked if there is any worry
Good video. Question, could this strut issue be caused by the extreme heat. I hear a crazy noise only in the afternoon when I’m driving home but in the mornings I rarely hear it and I have a 2016 Nissan Altima!
i was going to tell you about that abs line.
Thinking of doing the same thing should I also change out the cv axle?
Hi, great video what was the torque spec on the 3 top bolts? Thanks
Hi, I just put in entirely new KYB strut including the coils into my 2009 Nissan Altima, on both sides. Whenever I turn the wheel either way on both sides I can hear and feel a popping noise, even when completely stopped. It sounds like popcorn pooping. I don't know what is wrong.
Not a chance that sway bar link doesn’t spin
Should you get an alignment after? Thanks great video!

For the most part replacing the struts do not affect the alignment a lot but. Anytime suspension work is done it never hurts to have it checked

You should definitely get an alignment after, especially on the Altima because you may not have aligned the top strut bolts. You could save and do multiple things at once on the suspension of your car needs it - I did LCA, sway bar link, and strut at the same time. The alignment made the new parts feel even better and the car drive much nicer.
What do you do if the swaybar link nut is just spinning

Do you need a cam bolt for re-alignment?
@daringmotors

No it is not required unless your camber is out of spec
Do you need to do any kind of alignment after doing this kind of work?
@daringmotors

This car does not have adjustments on the struts so it will not need an alignment but it is good to have the alignment checked after replacing any suspension component
Do both wheels need to be off the ground

They will need to be as to remove the sway bar links you can have pressure on one wheel as it will make it a lot harder to remover
So are shocks and struts the same?

Shocks are just a hydraulic absorber. Where as a strut is a shock absorber and a spring together as an assembly

This was a great video. Thank you feel very confident now in replacing the struts on my car. Thank you.
Called three different shops, prices ranged from $1100 to over $1600 to do this very easy job. Freakin thieves. Pisses me off.
