Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the rear struts on this 2004 Chrysler Sebring. It's the same process on the Sebrings from 2001 to 2006, as well as the Dodge Stratuses from the same time. The items you'll need for this are: mew rear struts from 1AAuto.com, and we do recommend that you change both of them, 15mm and 19mm socket and ratchet, 18mm wrench, a hammer, a pry bar, a pick tool or screwdriver, jack and jack stands, and a torque wrench.
To start off, just go into the trunk here and pull back the insulation, and you'll see, here's the top of your rear strut with two 15mm nuts. We'll just fast forward as Don removes these.
You want to just jack your vehicle up, and then go in behind the wheel here. You'll see this is your rear strut right here. It's secured with this bolt right here. Ours is kind of rusted, so we spray it down with some penetrating oil. Then, using an 18mm wrench, you want to just remove the nut on the other side. Using a hammer and a pick tool or screwdriver, just hit the bolt out. Then, you're going to need to hit the bolt up and over that adjusting link. Up here on the rear strut, you'll see these two clips. You want to just pry out the center on them, and then you can pry out the whole thing. Then the lower part will just pry off also. We'll fast forward as Don does this to the other one.
Now you need to remove the wheel. If you have air-powered tools, you can do this while it's up in the air. Otherwise, lower it just enough so that the wheel stops spinning. Loosen up all the lug nuts, raise it up again, and remove the lug nuts the rest of the way. Then you can just pull the wheel off.
Now, pry that rear strut off, pull it down, and then out over the wheel.
The old strut is on the right. The new strut from 1A Auto is on the left. You can see it's identical. They'll mount exactly the same. The original strut on our vehicle is in fine shape, so we are just going to reinstall it. We're doing this video just to show you how to do it. Feed it right in over the brake drum, and then push it up into place. It helps to have an extra person here just to pull down on the wheel so you can push the strut back into place. Now use the pry bar to pull it down a little bit so you can fit the bolt in, and just hammer that bolt in the rest of the way. We'll fast forward as Don replaces that 18mm nut. You should tighten these to about 75 to 80 foot-pounds. Now reinstall the clips. Just push the center into them, not all the way down, but just into them, and then push the clip into place, and now push the center in the rest of the way. If it's difficult, just use your hammer.
We'll fast forward, here, as Don replaces the wheel and replaces the lug nuts. You want to tighten them preliminarily for right now, and then lower the vehicle.
We're going to continue to fast forward here as Don replaces those two 15-mm nuts in the trunk and tightens them up, and tightens it to 40 to 45 foot pounds. Just replace that cap and put your insulation back into place. Now torque your lug nuts to 100 foot pounds in a crossing pattern, and then you're all set.

1A Auto is more than a parts store! They are Quality, Performance, Service done to Perfection! The product was a perfect fit and I am very happy with the Great Service, Price and Product given to me. Once again I feel that 1A Auto has out done them self!
Product was great. Easy to install and the video helps. Package came a little damaged but think that was due to shipping company.
I've been working on cars, ever since i was able to hold a wrench. Trying to find correct & quality car parts has always been a challenge, I learned about 1A Auto through the truck mechanic at my job. I ordered my rear struts & the product arrived quickly & intact. It fit perfectly & functions as expected & more. I look forward to doing more business with 1A Auto, as my car has many miles & needs. I wish i knew about 1A Auto sooner. 100% satisfied & thanks 1a Auto.
Installation was simple and so far they are working great.
it was a good deal, very easy to do business with I would come back to them if I had a need. I am not a mechanic, so I watched a video on installing these strut and spring assembly. Easy and safe. the only problem was that a lift was a must for me so I negotiated a price for a mechanic to install them for me, having the knowledge that is was a relative easy install. This job could be done without a lift by putting the car on stands but that is a lot of crawling.
Im not a full fledged gear head but this was an easy job and really cost effective. I noticed the metal on the old upper strut plates had pretty much disinigrated on the original struts but found it was really cost effective to replace the entire system. Took just over a few hours (one broken bolt to replace). I would recommend these struts to anyone looking to replace their old worn out rear end.
I bought a pair of rear struts, but purchased the ones for a sedan and not a convertible. Sent them back and received a full refund, no hassels. Ordered the correct ones, which arrived in less than five days. The new struts were a perfect match and work great. I would do business with 1AAuto again.
First time using 1A Auto. My experience was great. Great price, fast shipping, correct items shipped, not like the other company I bought them from that was ten dollars cheaper, and the product was for a sedan not a convertible like there website said. But with 1A Auto I had the right product the first time I ordered they fit like the supposed too, the price was great. Buy from this company they do it right.
I have only had these on a short time so cannot attest to the long term quality. But they seem well built and matched the old ones perfectly, so thus far I am happy with them. I will likely order similar ones for my 2008 Town & Country van. Lots of quality for the price, and how can you beat free and fast shipping?
