Gen 2 Toyota Tacoma Suspension Flashark Struts Install Tips and Review

In this video we go over the steps to remove existing shock strut on a Gen 2 Tacoma and replace them, in this case with struts provided by Flashark. I do go over the provided struts and give you an overview as well as the results in a brief test drive.

On a quick note, the sequence I use here should be applicable to any vehicle that has front suspension struts and certainly applies to gen 3 Tacoma's.

Torque Specs:
Sway Bar Link: 52 ft-lbs
Upper A-Arm 81 ft-lbs
Caliper 90 ft-lbs
Strut top 3 bolts 47 ft-lbs
Strut Bottom 100 ft-lbs
