Gr8 vids! I like how you summarize before you start. Then show torque specs. Nice job and thanks for posting!

Gonna have to do this in freezing cold. No garage for me. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for making this video, appreciate the effort!

Excellent video! Meant for a new mechanic. I am experienced, but I still watch these videos. Someone always finds a trick even a certified mechanic doesn't know. For example, instead of driving the strut out of the knuckle, you can put a 2x4 across the wheel studs and push with your foot, the strut will come right out

Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to make it! Used it on my iPad in my garage to do the struts on my wife's Mazda and it was PERFECT! Cheers! 🙂

Thanks so much for the comprehensive video. I need to do the front shocks on my premacy and now I know how. I appreciate the effort put into your video and that fact you point out important alignment tabs. Keep up the good work 👌

Thank you! I just did the rear shocks today and now need to do the fronts. This video covered all of my concerns. I don’t have a floor jack like that one so hopefully I can rent one wherever I get the spring compressors.

About to start on our van, one of ours has bit the dust. This is an excellent video - superb work!!!

Appreciate you putting this video together. You made it look so easy. 😮‍💨

No need to use hammer to get it lose. Just use 2 quarters in between the gap and thread the bolt on the opposite side , that way it will expand a little bit and the strut will come lose.

You mean screw bolt onto the coins to push open the joint?

Nice video. One thing I like to do is write the date in permanent marker on the struts and shocks. That way, you or someone else knows when it got replaced. I also note the date and mileage in a notepad for all repairs and maintenance i do on my cars since I rarely have a service center work on my cars.

Might be doing this project soon... this video is very helpful

Thank you for the torque specs!

Great video I paid to get these done next time I will do it myself I have 2008 Mazda 5

Btw the manual calls for you to use an chisel to separate the lower fork. Less than 2 mm not to damage it

So helpful! Thanks for the video!

awesome my friend saludos desde mexicali y gracias

For a little more u can buy the whole assemble. Sometimes the upper mounts go bad too. About 110 a piece. Save time too

I was wondering that as well, why not just buy the whole assembly ?

Buen video me gusta muy bien explicado más vídeos para esa mazada gracias

great vid! straight forward. do you need to have a wheel alignment after?

Thanks,Nice video

Thank you 🙏

Great video. I.m wondering whether my ns 4ear is going bad as I have some outer edge tyre wear. I know tracking could be an issue but I'm sure that's more noticeable 9n the front . What mileage was yours on doing this ? And how did you notice it go bad ? Cheers

Awesome

Bro thanks !!!

Upon installation and aligning the tab to slot, I had to loosen the top three bolts to get it align. I used Monroe (Shock/Spring replacement) though, so not sure if that will help anyone.

I didn't have a hammer to take out the old piecebut a 25lb made it come out like butter. A little bit hard to maneuver.

I heard him mention 120K in another video from around the same time

THEY ARE STRUTS, NOT SHOCKS.
