Replacing Lift Struts Quickly & Easily!

Thanks for shearing 👍

I just replaced mine (2014 Jeep Compass).
If it took me 3 minutes to swap them, I'd be exaggerating.
Piece-of-cake!
THANKS!!!!!!!!!
😎👍

Hi, I've just changed the astruts on my car as they were squeaking, it was easy to replace, but they're not holding the boot up and come crashing down rather rapidly, what did I do wrong?

A great video on how to replace gas struts... thanks Farmer Jay

this didnt need to be 7 minutes long. get to the point

Thanks Man!

Well done!

Will try it tomorrow morning for the first time. I am not a gay - but what a charming old man! :-D

Does anyone know how to decompress these? One of my ens came out of its spit and it stretched out to far where I can't get it to go back on.

Watched your video on changing shocks on the hatch back. Thanks for posting it. I followed the instructions to change the shocks on my wife’s Chrysler van. It worked perfectly.

Thanks a lot, i did it exactly like you said and it worked perfectly

Fantastic rundown! Thanks for the detailed instructions.

Excellent video. I just replaced mine in under 10 min. Absolutely listen to this gentleman about having a ladder to support the lift gate.

Nobody tells which way is up or down! Some have the stanchion tube at the top, some at the bottom?!?

Thank you 🙏 Sir 😊😊

This video was so helpful! As a female who often finds herself having to tackle these task, I can't thank you enough!!❤

A very good video. Thanks!

Thank you so much for your excellent video and clear instructions Jay. I've just changed my gas struts on my 2005 Nissan Almera after watching your video a couple of times. I'm relieved to have ditched the wooden plank that was propping my hatch/tailgate up which was more dangerous than I thought - you're right, those tailgates are very heavy! Everything went smoothly and you've given me the confidence to try other small practical jobs too.

Wow, what fantastic tutorial. The camera shots are excellent, it is wonderful to be able to see exactly what you are doing all the way through to the end. Have saved this to my computer. I was hesitant to buy this little hatchback because the struts don't work, but now will confidently put another bid on it. Thanks a million!

Thanks bud! Great help, gave me confidence to get working on it

Good clear presentation 👍

Thank u so much DFJ. Very accurate instructions. Godbless

This video is great! My husband and I changed out the lift struts together. Now I want to try other repairs!

We are evidently weak. We had to use the ladder and then put the car jack on it using two pieces of wood one on the top of the jack between it and the hatch and one on the ladder between it and the jack. Once we did that it was quick. Those 60 year old ladies are super human as far as we are concerned.

No need to pull clips out on the new struts---just push it on the ball

Excellent tutorial. Made this process of installation clear and understandable. Thanks.

Thanks for the upload.

So helpful!! Thanks

Thank you very much!!!

Thank you Jay

FYI , WD40 is not a lubricant, it’s actually a water displacement spray and will dry out grease

I've watched other videos on this, but this is the one that talked about supporting the weight of the hatch before doing it. Thank you.

Best visual and explanation on how to make this change out!! Thx!!

Many thanks. Worked great!

My new struts that I bought are 1cm longer than old. Guy in the shop gave those to me as struts for my car.. Are they usless for me? Is there some advice how to install them? Compression by hand is not possible of course.

Good explanation and detailed enough but short video. Thank You! Great job and help.

4 years later this video help me thank you so much

Thank you very much ,❤❤this video was very helpful

Thanks for this mate..got a quote for £300 ..thought can’t be right so got another £240..seen your vid..brought them for £30 each fitted myself..thanks again👍🏾

Until watching your video, I found out that I was not supposed to remove the clips, thank you for sharing

Watched your video and it gave me a little insight into replacing them. Worked out good was able to successfully install new ones on my gf 2012 Chevrolet Sonic hatchback!

Great video thank you! Very helpful. Sydney Australia

jesus, i thought you chopped your finger tip off lol

Saved me a lot of work! Changed the hood strut on my 2005 Crossfire in about 10 minutes.

Thanks dude

Thanks this was very helpful as I wasn't sure how to get the catches off the back and didn't want to break them.

How to avoid KNOT on HEAD😂

Does it matter if the thin part of the hydraulics are on the top or bottom?

Tks for the ladder tip! I have to park on a slope ! I will def work on level ground!

Thank you! Quick & easy install 🤩
