How to Assemble Strut Mounts

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Nat McCullough on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip we are going to talk about the proper way to reassemble your strut assembly. What we have here is our strut and we are going to take and install the lower spring perch. As you could see there is the step on this spring rubber that is going to line up with the spring perched there. As we have that sited in place we can go ahead and reinstall our bump stop. Our bump stop is going to go on in this direction and it is just going to slide on to the strut shaft. Just like so. Once we get have that on we are going to install our weather boot it is going to sit right there on top of the bump stop and sit on these strut housing there. As you could see there is a end to the coil right there. We are going to aim that right down to the step on our spring perch as you could see that right there that is were we are shooting for. I'm taken and install out upper spring rubber. It is just going to sit right on there like so and we are going to set or new strut mount on top. So you could see that there is a flat part there which is going to line up with that D shape you could see inside here. Okay we have taken and sat our new strut mount on there. Line up our spring and give it just a little squeeze. Once we got that done we can go ahead and start your nut on the top. alright."
