[@grandpapeabrain3129]

Great vid - thanks.

[@raymorgan4657]

Thank you! I've watched a few different videos on this Ram strut change and yours is by far the easiest and most concise. Other videos show taking more things apart that don't seem necessary after watching your video.

Is it wise to replace the links when doing struts?

[@michaelyoung8861]

I just subscribed, I’m going to send this link to my buddies. Thank you!🙏🏾

[@timlaxtonsr3729]

I had to cut my struts at the fork for the bushings and bolt to Coe out they were fused together.

[@bigo258]

This makes it alot easier to do than your last video

[@wolffmanjack4743]

Can confirm, may have to loosen lower control arms. Just make sure you mark where the outer bolt sits with a marker or paint. Easy to line back up. Just FYI.

[@timlaxtonsr3729]

Therefore you took out the bottom bolt on he strut....I took off the nut took a hammer but the bolt won't move but the rubber n guts are trying to get out towards the head but won't let loose even with wd-40..what do I do now

[@sherina1jojo]

I hear a popping sound on Right front wheel area when making a right turn and if I try to pull out fast on a sharp right it bucks up on me almost completely locks up the right front wheel. It kinda like jump jumps, sounds like doot- doot- doot...I cant explain the sound or action very well with words sorry 😅

Don't you make a video of the SEAT brand?

[@ryancrenshaw7531]

In the video about changing cv axles on this year Ram y’all torqued the upper ball joint to 26ft/lbs plus 180*
In this video he did 40ft/lbs plus 200*
Which one is correct?
