    makes it look so easy with those air powered tools. I see lots of cussin' and knuckle banging trying to do these with typical hand ratchets and breaker bars for those stubborn nuts and bolts.

    Hate these struts. They mess up every couple years and you have to replace the whole loaded strut instead of just one thing

    thank you for this video. my shock broke, i ordered a replacement from trq and replaced it myself. I have pretty much replaced my entire front end on my jeep liberty. engine has 200K on it and not burning oil. the front end needed replacement, but she runs and drives smooth. They built cars pretty good back then. now days no car is made to last much past 100k. even honda or toyota. they lowered the bar on their newer cars. there is that one bolt you never mention the torque spec on, you blow past on all the videos. the sway bar bolts. what is the story on that? strange

    This video along with the passenger side guide were invaluable in replacing the suspension on my wife’s 08 liberty. The technician’s instructions were super clear and easy to follow, and giving the torque numbers was incredibly helpful.
    One thing I want to note, and I think someone else in the comments mentioned the same issue. My upper ball joint bolt would start spinning after the nut was unscrewed about halfway. This happened on both sides. I was able to remedy the problem by use the pair of vice grips to hold the bolt steady and a wrench to hand-screw the bolts off. Took a little extra time and effort but it worked perfectly.
    A $200 purchase online for parts and a Friday doing it myself sure beats spending $800 at a shop, no matter how frustrated I got sometimes lol.

    WOW that took how many minutes? Less than an hour for sure so I think I can trust the local AAA Auto shop to make this repair I have a 2012 Jeep Liberty and the Dealership told me I need to replace my Left Front Shock cost $289.50 and I think that may include labor what's your advice?

    This vid's tha diff betwixt a mere mechanic, and a TECHNICIAN. Once I purchased a new impact wrench, and afew other tools, I felt ready to dive into tha job. But! My upper ball joint bolt was just spinnin, and after abit of googlin, I see this is not uncommon. Since this is a thing, how bout addressing the most common issues, likely to be encountered. I think my nut mustabeen x-threaded, cuz, even after puttin'a 10mm socket on it, to stop it from turnin, I ran outta bolt, b4 tha nut broke free... Oh well! Guess I'm doin uppers too...

    • @joehardway
      @joehardway 4 роки тому +1

      Same issue on BOTH SIDES! Since I'd already committed to replacing the UCL's, once I was forced to cut the driver's side bolt, I used a vice grip to grip the passenger's side bolt while I finished gettin the nut off, but it stayed SNUG, until it was almost completely off the threads. Not sure if it would'a mattered, but, if I had it to do over again, I'd try to remove the nut COMPLETELY, and then thread it back on to bang the UCL down. Can't remember the driver's side, but, on the passenger's side, the nut was comin off, and I stopped to bang the UCL down, and it spun freely after that. Perhaps it's that tension B4 u bang the UCL down, that supplies the resistance needed to remove the nut completely?
