Brought to you by 1AAuto.com your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the internet. Hi I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out. And the next time you need a part for your vehicle think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video we're going to show you how to replace the front struts on a 2006 Chevy Impala. It's the same operation for the left side and the right side and we always recommend that you do replace struts in pairs. In order to do this repair you're going to need some new struts from 1A Auto. A 21 and 19 and 13 millimeter socket and socket wrench. A hammer. A pry-bar. A pipe for extra leverage if you need it. As well as a torque wrench.
Remove the hubcap by hand using a 19 millimeter socket. If you don't have the benefit of air-tools you'll want to loosen the lug-nuts with the vehicle on the ground first. Then raise and support the vehicle and remove the lug-nuts from the tire. Locate the two 21 millimeter nuts. Using a 21 millimeter socket, a socket wrench and a pipe for extra leverage to remove the two nuts on the strut. I will go ahead and fast-forward as I remove those.
Use a hammer to knock free the two bolts that go through the strut and spindle. Use a long screw-driver or pry-bar to pry the spindle free from the strut. Locate and remove three 13 millimeter nuts on the strut-top. As you're removing the last nut, hold the strut so that it doesn't just come falling down. Here you see a side by side of the old part and the new part from 1A Auto. Going back in with the strut. Start from the bottom. Line up the three holes. And then start your three 13 millimeters nuts up top. Once you get them all started go ahead and tighten them up and I'll fast-forward as I do that. Now line up the strut with the spindle and match up the holes. You might have to pull down or push up on the spindle and hub assembly there to line them up. Go ahead and put in your two bolts. Then once you get the bolts in use a hammer to seat them into that spindle and lower strut assembly.
Now reinstall the two 21 millimeter nuts and go ahead and tighten them down. Torque the two nuts to a hundred foot pounds. Reinstall the wheel and the five lug-nuts. Torque your wheel lug-nuts to a hundred foot pounds. Once you're done torqueing the lug-nuts in a star pattern reinstall your hubcap. And make sure you see the little notch in the hubcap and put it over the valve-stem. And once you've done that you can start with just the socket itself tightening up those five 19 millimeter lug-nut cap-covers.
And after you replace your struts it is recommended that you get an alignment on your vehicle. We hope this helps you out.

Geart, rides like a dream again! Easiest job I've done in a long time.
Had them on my Buick for almost 2 years with 30K on them. Nice ride, no noises. Happy for the money
Was all correct parts and direct fit
Installed on my 2008 Chevy impala. Very straightforward install. Would get this brand again if needed.
Like I sad , was a pain,because I didn't have some of the proper tools to do it . The Rear struts came off with no problem , using a floor jack, jack stand and wheel chocks . Putting the new ones back on was met with problems . First , the bottom would not line up with the sleeve after mounting it with the 3 boults on top . So I mounted with the two boults on the bottom, and used another floor jack , to lift the whole thing up while guiding the three boults on top through the holes ,then putting the nuts on. Second problem . when you Torque down the three top nuts, because of the extension on top of the boults and limited space a deep drive socket will not work ,same with a regular socket.it takes one with a little deeper dish, with that sad the back was done. The front looked easy ,3 nuts on top, 2 boults on the bottom. no such luck, the strut was being compressed ,could not remove from ether end. So I grabbed the Porta power, put one end of the ram on the control arm, the other
The struts were an exact fit and the replacement video helped me replace them more easily. Noe my car drives much better.
