@@DavidGarcia-re9qh Best bet is to do the alignment as soon as possible. By measuring you will get it close, but more than likely not perfect. If left as such, the tire will wear faster.
It is a pretty easy job to do. Any question let me know. If u are in the rust belt try to soak it in pb blaster....so that by the time u get there the bolts are ready to go.
I believe you are actually supposed to hold it with an Allen wrench and tighten it with a wrench. I looked up the torque values for the stuff I have to remove and they are: • Struts o 2 pinch bolts 16 X 1.5 mm 157 NM 116 #Ft o 3 top flange nuts 10 X 1.25 mm 69 NM 51 #Ft o Brake hose bracket 8 X 1.25 mm 22 NM 16 #Ft o Stabilizer link 12 X 1.25 mm 78 NM 58 #Ft o Raise up suspension before tightening. • Shocks o Top 2 bolts 10 X 1.25 mm 44 NM 33 #Ft o Bottom bolt 12 X 1.25 mm 78 NM 58 #Ft o Raise up suspension off of jack before tightening.
I found the lower nuts difficult struggled on the first side. Second side I used 18mm socket and swivel and then a 3 inch extention that allowed me to use my 1/2 stubby impact. I got non oem parts they look just like those do.
Awesome video! No needless talk. Just straight to the point and clearly informing what to use and how to use it. Keep it up! Thank you!
Happy to help 👍
When you replace the outer tide rods, eventually you have do the wheel alignment right? That's what I have heard

Professional presentation, I like the rekevant texts, thank you
Happy to help 👍
Great video. Going to tackle this sometime this week.

Great info 👍 thanks for sharing it.
Thank you!! Tool sizes id’d really helps!!
Happy to help 👍 and no more noise when driving over bumps.

Happy to help 👍, yeah depending where are u located (rust belt) can get a bit challenging to remove that bolt. But glad u were able to get it done 👍
Hell yeah! Thank you!
Happy to help 👍
Do you the size of the Allen wrench? Thanks for the info.
Hey Mauro, I don't recall the size. Maybe one of the viewers can shine in on that.
Thank you
Happy to help 👍
what if those bolts are rusty and doesnt want to come out??
Try to clean as much rust as u can, spray some PB blaster and try to remove it. If it won't budget, next step is to cut the nut.
@@kaimanson3174 thank you. I will do that.

Do you know what the torque spec is for these? How many Ft/lbs? Thank you!
Negative, If you're asking about the mounting brackets, around 35-40 ft. lbs (for 10mm bolts which I think those are).
How do I know my links are bad?
When you go over small bumps you can hear a knocking sound.
I wouldn't risk putting it on without torquing it to the proper specs.
It is always good to follow the torque spec as much as possible, but after doing a few of these your memory has that torque in your hand already.
