I like your videos primarily because of the tremendous amount of correct information you share, the correct methodology/ and the warnings/gotchas. It is one thing to film your work and it is another to deliver instruction as you do- it is a tough job, and I admire and respect you for that. As another person pointed out, your quality of work demands a higher hourly rate. Stealerships charge 125 per hr! Here's to many more years of instructional videos.

I worked on the Final Assembly line for Oldsmobiles for a year. We assembled one car every 40 seconds, which is 180, 000cars on my shift that year. Across the aisle from me, 3 meters (30 ft) away, they compressed the front springs. Two or three times each day one of those compressed springs got loose. It was horrible. They really fly, fast & far, AND they weight a lot. Eric is correct! Do NOT allow the spring to get loose.

Eric, just did this job tonight on my outback before i found this. I did not know about the alignment of the circle and the bottom of the mount. I did however make sure that I aligned the top plate with the original imprint of the stock spring which i reused. By aligning the imprint to the spring did i essentially align these components. Car drives fine afterwards. Thanks.

Now i understand. There are so many idiots doing these videos that you need to watch 5 of them on the same job. South Main is a plus 2 today. would have been a plus 5 had he not added a disclaimer to those spring compressors Autozone.

My wife told me I am making up car issues to fix since I started watching you videos. There are pre built struts for many cars. They ride much better than a leaking strut, half the price of a factory.

This is so freaking hard to get around the bottom flange with those autozone spring compressors. Literally impossible to get the alignment on the spring correct.

I get that center nut started and install the strut in the vehicle and tighten it down in the car. I get loaded struts now it's faster and no autozone spring traps
