    Thank you for this video! You've given me the confidence to... take it to a mechanic instead of trying to do it myself. Not worth the difficulty lol

    I've finally started using these assemblies. I have a good strut spring compressor, but this is easier, cleaner and even cheaper now. We have serious rust here in rural Appalachia but I've never seen an axle nut that rusted.

    What if the knuckle falls forward a bit more? I had to put a jack under mine.

    Hey @RustBeltAuto I'm looking into buying some of these FCS Auto quick struts for a 2008 HHR SS with the 2.0L turbo EcoTec. The car comes factory with what is called the FE5 suspension system from Chevy. The problem is I have searched every single corner of local parts stores, the internet, and dealerships for direct factory replacements but Rock Auto seems to have FE5 suspension components (all separate and I don't want to screw up the ordering process by piecing out each individual part and missing something or not put it together properly) or I could go the cheaper route; which I know that I shouldn't and get the FCS Auto complete struts. What do you think of the FCS Auto complete struts? Have they been reliable and would you trust them?

    • @RustBeltAuto
      @RustBeltAuto  Рік тому

      Absolutely not. Your SS has a tuned suspension. fCs will be for standard. You probably will be very disappointed.

    What to do if your lift gate doesn’t work. I can’t unlock it it’s stuck. I guess I have to work inside the car :(

    • @RustBeltAuto

      There is usually an access panel on the inside that can be removed on most cars.

    Do you know how these struts have held up since installation them? The front and back?

    By chance is your sway bar hitting the control arm? I got some KYBs for my 2015 and i have to put a load on to get my stabilizer link in on top which makes the LCA and sway bar touch. When I am on a back road, i cant hear it hitting all the time.

    • @RustBeltAuto
      @RustBeltAuto  2 роки тому +1

      The link keeps it from hitting the control arm. You have something loose, or goofy going on.

    When these Jeeps show up at the shop, I see $$$$$$$. The suspension is always bad, the brakes as well.
    And remember. When you break something, if you say OUPS, you didn't do it on purpose!!! Loll
