I picked up a 05 caravan the other day which needed a left strut. I don't know why the guy didn't fix it himself. He sold it as a scrap vehicle which I inly paid just under 250. I got the strut for 60 new online. I've been messing with cars for over 30 years but I never had to do a strut. This video helped me out. Especially with that sway bar link. That thing was a pain in the ass! Luckily I had a plumbing torch and was able to heat it up and get it off. The brake like was also rusted and attached to the old strut. I had to cut that bolt off. Good vid, thanks!

Do you guys own a Torque Wrench?
I'd be tossing every nut and bolt you've used an impact wrench and a hammer on, on top of the salt, that sort of shocking of the metal from the impact wrench can cause fracturing and early failure, something you never want on Suspension items.
I've had workshops destroy wheel studs like that on my own car.

I used to use white out on the knuckle to mark the original location of the old strut. Then I simply align the new strut to the mark. Gets it really close.

Does anyone know if you can use a Corded Electric Impact gun to remove the lower bolts/nuts? The gun is only rated at 230 ft lb's of torque.

Mark the steering knuckle were it meets the old strut assembly before you take it off. Then line it up with the new assembly.
