Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- The front struts are part of the suspension system of the vehicle. It supports the weight of the vehicle and also absorb the impact from the road to ensure a smooth ride.
The struts of the vehicle should last about 7 to 8 years for the average driver.
Symptoms of bad struts:
- Vehicle move up and down at highway speeds
- Vehicle lean to one side on turns
- The front end drives more than expected during hard braking
- Rear-end squat during acceleration
- Rough idling
- Tires bouncing excessively
- Wavy tire wear
- Leaking Fluid on the exterior of the struts
Torque Spec
- Knuckle to bottom strut connection: 123 ± 7 ft-lb (167 ± 9 N⋅m)
- Vehicle frame to top strut nuts: 33 ± 3 ft-lb (44 ± 5 N·m)
- Self-Locking Nut on top of the strut: 45 ± 7 ft-lb (60 ± 10 N·m)
- Wheel Lug Nut: 73 ± 7 ft-lb (98 ± 10 N·m)
These torque specs are a huge help. Thank you for these detailed videos on my favorite daily driver
Very interesting to see in detail every component in the strut assembly and the correct tools use.
A very clear video, thank you.
I have a 2004 lancer vrx and bro you have saved me a heap of $$ watching your clips to fix my car… thank you bro ❤️💪🏽🙏🏽
I love you sir. Thank you for the amazing content, you’re helping me keep my 07 Lancer on the road!

Thank you for detailed video ! Keep up the great work

what are those two bottom bolts? got the bottom one stripped and trying to find replacement
This is great, a very clear tutorial. I'm wondering if the same sequence of events would work for a MITSUBISHI LANCER GLXi, GLI Auto CE (right hand drive) 1999 model as well? I'm planning on replacing my front struts, brake pads and rotors since it seems relatively simple, even for me... saves me like $600 by not getting a mechanic to do it. That's money I don't have, so any info you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated.
Gracias por la explicación
Saludo amigo exelente trabajo gracias
Hey guys i have a question do struts come in different sizes? What is the size for lancer ?

Hello Kong is your lancer having engine light come on? Mine come on i check with my obd said small leak in evap i apready replaced my gas cap i bought an original frm the dealer and still the lights comeon. Should i need to smoke it to find where is that small leak. I dont have that device is that i can rent in autozone? Thanks Kong more power on your video vlog!! U help me a lot and to community.
Just did mine a couple of months ago.
Will this strut fit a mirage ES 2001 ?
Can’t help but notice the string bracelet, anyone significant gave it to you
Hey, KC, I have an unrelated question. When you turn your key to the "On" position, can you hear the fuel pump priming? I was wondering if it's normal NOT to hear it on this model. I'm trying to diagnose a "Crank, no start" condition on mine.
i have the same exact issue so if anyones out there i would still like to hear what you have to say
Hi kong, can you do a tutorial on a fuel filter replacement too? :D
I'll take a look into it.
Can you do servicing injectors
Agreed, that'd be great.
