Thanks!
No problem!
Hey nice job guy. Way to save some big bucks$$$ Getting ready to service our Kia with 140k. Love the car but definitely ready for some struts and shocks! Thanks for the video.
Glad you found it helpful.
I'm gonna have to do this soon myself. Nice walk through. Would you suggest doing the rear shocks at the same time??
Didn't really matter if they're done together unless they're really bad. Biggest thing is getting front realigned afterward. Otherwise you could end up wearing your tires really bad due to things being a degree or two off.
How are those FCS doing. I’m hesitant about aftermarket but OE is a pretty penny.
We did a big road trip a couple weeks after. 1400 miles total, they performed great.
@@BudgetFriendlyDIY1202 Thanks for the feedback. Just replaced the control arms with Kia parts from rock auto. Now time to order these struts and shocks. My Sedona has 176k miles and still running strong.
@@Rudysuarez514 wow, is that all on the original struts? The rear shocks were cupping my back tires by 70k miles.
@@BudgetFriendlyDIY1202 I think so. I go out the van with 40k. Tires have been wearing abnormally too.
What are the torque specs for top of strut nuts?
