I have broken coil springs on both sides in front, and have a new set of Monroe replacement assemblies. I have looked at many different videos and service manuals for methods to replace the strut, and there are multiple ways.

I will be doing this in my driveway, do have an air impact gun.

Obviously, looking for the simplest way with least disassembly.


What has worked best for all of you who have done this?

 

Install a coil over.. spring and strut already assembled.

 

Already purchased as a unit, looking to compare installation methods

 

Only one way to remove and install coilovers.. guess i'm not getting what you are asking for.

 

I see some methods where the axle is removed and full disassembly of front suspension, and knuckle separated, others just disconnect tie rod end and carefully extract.

Wanting to see that aspect

 

Disconnect knuckle, un-do bottom bolt and top 3 bolts.. remove. keep the floor jack under the lower control arm and lower it for removal.. of course your truck will be on stands. should be a youtube video showing this method .. no need for complete disassemble.

 

\Sorry for the mix-up between parts and method

 

have a new set of Monroe replacement assemblies... Thought you meant new coil springs..

 

That saves the rubber bushing from tearing . It has a high torque value be ready with a cheater pipe . measure any rods you undo so they go back exactly the same length. Repair all steering parts then get realigned .
