Thanks for the video, but few suggestions. Control arms and the hummer - never a good idea. All bolts mist be tighten with the right force. Air tools just damage it. Also, the replacement part is not good either. Do not get me wrong. Thanks for the video. Hope those tips will help.

One of the things I did is to replace both upper control arms. They fail often and should be considered a consumable. It's easy with the strut out.

Good work - but Suncore air shocks are the worst. They either do not work - (I had bad front struts 2 times in a row - full refund), and my rear air struts did not barely last ONE year before they became stiff. Very upsetting.

Thanks for the video. I would suggest a torque wrench however. I also think some of the bolts need to be torqued when the car is on the ground.

You have to set the computer into jack mode. If the strut is old it may damage the strut if it is not set correctly.

@@ne2i Yeah. And its only 250 for fronts and 200 for rears. Super easy to do them all. you will be spending same price for coils. In 10 years you will be replacing them all again. So if you plan on keeping the car, go to normal air suspension

@@best_technician was it loose in the first place?? 2:24 I saw you put it through the top of the mount and bolt the 4 nuts of the strut to the strut mount. I never saw the top but being loosened so that’s why I don’t get why it was tightened more. I have to install a new one today so I’m just womdering

If it's not raising up from only one side most likely it's the air shock.
