    In my opinion: Wouldn't waist time rebuilding struts & go with a complete unit. You pay more, but you don't get squeaks from reused preset expended parts that seem good. Also worth mentioning, Kia has the worst suspension springs making for bouncy rides past 55 MPH. Best to get springs made from a reputable vendor that uses American made springs if possible. Korean steel does the job, but is nowhere on par with American manufacturing standards. You'd want the best replacement parts for any Kia being OEM is so terrible.

    Doing just the strut is just fine if you have the equipment to disassemble the strut assembly. But if your a DIYer its way easier to just purchase the full strut assembly and skip that disassembly process.

    This is why I dont take ANY of my Toyotas to the dealer anymore.. He was too lazy to not even rebalance the tire and used a strong impact to put the lug nuts back on. NO Torque wrench. For the price the dealer charges the things i outlined should be done WOW.

    On a 2017 Tacoma there’s an option that you can see on a screen of each tire and how much pressure is in each tire. Well that screen on my truck showed the pressure of each tire but just the other day each tire in that visual screen doesn’t show any pressure numbers for any of my tires. I’m lost. Any one know why I’m having this problem

    Just got a camry and the passenger cv axel was replaced by previous owner but must’ve not done something right. The axel is still shiny and new looking but when you try and put it in gear it makes a grinding noise and won’t pull. But if you play with the steering wheel going side to side and keep putting in gear sometimes it’ll go for a couple feet and then stop and make the grinding noise again. Any help is appreciated

    Make sure he used the right bolt inside the axle carrier, if he used a longer bolt and over torqued it he could of pinned the axle from spinning freely

    First: It is not necessary to remove the disc or caliper to replace a strut. Second: It is very important to support the axel with a jack to prevent popping your CV joint and requiring an axel replacement.

    What all these videos on this subject never show is the axle fully seated in the trans. Not sure why but seems to be one if not the most important part of the install.... One even show the person pounding it in and showing like a 16th gap and calling it done.

    After my daughter caught a curve with right front tire, alignment was completely thrown off. Bent tie rod end and was told that the right strut is also bent. The shop was able to realign the front, but camber is still visually quite off. Two part question here; 1) would you suggest an "Easy strut assembly" 2) Should I replace both sides of the struts and tie rod ends? 2010 Kia w/124,000 miles.

    Very simple, very easy, until you try to put it back in. Good grief. Live and learn….40 minutes later, I have figured it out. Turn the crank clockwise barely and the tensioner will slip right in. Start the nuts. Tighten and hope you don’t strip the stud or the nut. Oh, and when you turn the crank clockwise at the end of the procedure, make sure the car is in neutral. It won’t turn if the car isn’t.

    Hey, I know it has been a while since this video but its the only one I can find on the 5th gen 1GRFE, which requires you to drop the oil pan vs the 4th gen due to the position of the oil filter bracket :/ ANYWAY -- Did you just have to remove the motor mounts and jack up from the transmission or did you also have to drop the front diff and the steering rack? Thank you!

    So the "thresholds" don't get erased by the registration process, and one can consider the job done after registration, if you know that the previous set threshold values now (same as before) are what you want them to be?

    It doesn’t move freely like other cars when you disconnect the strut just up and down so your camber won’t be affected or so I was told an I didn’t get an alignment after mine just before, when I got new tires

    NO. you can do a lot of things without the need for alignment. Only when you remove the tie rod and even so if you do it carefully you won't have to. Do it when replacing the tie rod.
