Great video! I bought an 08 Tc a few months ago and one of my rear struts is starting to leak and after watching your vid i think I can do it myself instead of taking it to the shop like I initially was going to do.

[@slugzkea]

you'll save $300 in labour, that's what my mechanic charged for the front two to be done. will be doing my rears very soon myself.

Thought you did a great job with this video. Succicnt, to the point, clear, kept it simple. Great job. Thought the voiceover worked pretty well too. I'll be using this as a guide for my strut replacement.

[@MegaJohn49]

Is that a KYB rear strut that you installed? If not what brand did you go with, and is it holding up?

[@Blue00715]

On the other nuts you tighten do they need to be tighten to a specific torque? Or just let the electric tool do it?

[@madmax9813]

in your opinion, would this procedure be similar to replacing a rear strut on a scion ia?

[@marilynmonbro35]

great video, this doesn't look to painfull to do

[@diegog2924]

The camera angles are perfect. Seen so many videos recording with potatoes. Perfect tutorial!!

[@joshwells7752]

[@slugzkea]

What torque spec is that impact wrench that you're using?

[@larryd422]

Thank you.

I bought fully assembled rear Monroe strut & shocks, but I noticed the top only had two permanent screws installed instead of three, is this normal? The pair both came with two screws, so I thinking this is how the manufacture this brand?

[@reneantonio91]

it should be 3 not 2 , they might’ve gave you the wrong rear shocks

[@yogkkoojj6570]

Thank you so much

[@austinbrown4628]

Hi, I just installed them. Took it for a dive without adjusting anything, or putting the trim pieces back in and it’s rattling and squeaking. How can I fix it?

[@reneantonio91]

Make sure everything is tightened up correctly boss and that there isn’t anything left loose , make sure you tighten those bolts up on the top all the way

[@SprouseyTheHandyMan]

Do you still read comments? What symptoms was your worn shock showing?

[@reneantonio91]

It was a customer requested parts change , they wanted it replaced due to a noise concern , it did repair the noise concern but it wasn’t my diagnostic

[@SprouseyTheHandyMan]

@@reneantonio91 sorry the late response. I appreciate the info. Keep up the videos. Great work!!

[@soheilzamani17]

Looks like non of the alignment settings are tampered with with this job so is an alignment necessary?

[@FG2NICO]

it’ll probably need an alignment if you replace the front aswell

[@edwinnn1399]

My rear new strut won’t align with the 19mm bolt , what the cause ? I ordered the whole kit I already setup the front ones n everything went fine but I’m just having trouble with the rear

[@reneantonio91]

Try lining up the 19mm first before putting any of the top mount nuts on

[@bukithedKee]

I’m having the same problem but the struts not rotating I need help

[@phukhuneerjrz]

my is litter bit rust so hard for me knock it out i try again
