    Pro-tip: You have to raise the front and put both sides on jackstands (or use a lift) and remove both tires first - if you try to do one at a time, the other tire will pull down on the swaybar and the tension on the link will prevent you from removing the nut from the swaybar link. Also: it's easier if you use pliers to hold the back of the swaybar bolt. Thanks for the video! :)

      I agree with RB. Do not try save even more money by buying struts only. It is not worth the safety risk of being hit by the coil.But the complete sets.

    Your video helped out a lot and saved me some time for the most part. I said for the most part because after I was done, I took the car for a test drive. When I went to make a right turn the car started making some weird noise but only when I turned right and sometimes while driving straight. I also noticed when driving above 30mph it would pull to the right. I'm assuming the car pulling to the right means it needs a alignment done, but can not figure out what's causing the noise. I didn't touch anything else on the car besides changing the front strut assemblies and rear shocks. I can not really explain the sound all to much as it sounds like multiple to me. I've spent 2 days trying to figure it out by taking the wheels off and on multiple times checking to make sure things were tight and checking for anything leaking and haven't found anything. Am I missing something simple? Also the car was not making the noise before I started working on it.

    You did a great job, man!! I was lucky to find this awesome video. I will have to replace the front left/right struts on my 2014 Nissan Altima. I am going to buy two complete strut assemblies for both sides and will do the job this weekend. Would it be okay if I buy them at Advance Auto Parts?
    My biggest challenge could be taking out the 17mm bolt and the two bolts underneath it. I don't have a ply bar, then would it be difficult to take out that bolt without pushing? Do you think a breaker bar would be helpful to take out those bolts? What are the sizes of two bolts underneath it?

    2017 maxima, do you recommend changing the strut spring assembly or just the shocks with out replacing the spring. I need to change both sides, any brand recommendation ( Monroe) ? 172901 and 172902 is what I need. Thank you.
    Your video by the way was awesome.

      @@RBTheMechanic Just following up on my 2019 Nissan Altima strut job. It was rough. Lower ball joint on control arm refused to separate. I had to pull the entire control arm out and getting it back in and aligning the ball joint was tough. Lots of prying. The rest of the job was fairly straightforward. No more knocking and a much improved ride. Did both sides. Took me 5-6 hours per side. ( I'm an amateur). Glad I did it. Learned a lot. If you run into a 2019 or newer Nissan Altima I hope you post a video. Would love to see your tips!
