This DIY is on a 2005 Toyota Corolla
Always make sure that your part is correct and is functional . These are Godspeed full Coil over Mono Struts .
Make sure you center lock your steering wheel to prevent it from turning .
Remove the brake line bolt from the strut first
Then you remove the sway bar link
Then you can remove both lower strut bolts and let the strut hang from the top nuts
Then you can remove the three nuts and before you remove the last one hold it with your hand so it doesn't drop
Now make sure when you put the strut on that the adjustment on top that will help the camber is able to go to side to side as in the photo on top - Then you preload the spring after preloading then you can try to adjust the height before connecting the lower bolts
With a jack you can push up your lower control arm to line up the holes - Make sure you have a camber bolt and replace the top strut bolt with the camber bolt
Put the tire back on temporarily and lower the car to make sure your height is correct
Then you can put the sway bar link and the brake hose back on the strut then head to your local Alignment Shop
