    Here is my latest video on changing shocks and stabilizer link. Sorry the video is not complete as I need to hurry up cause the owner want to collect his car.



    Edit: Also, I did not do a good job of installing the spring. The car had knocking sound after I am done. Because the owner need his car, he took it anyway. On the next day, he sent it to check in a workshop and they said cause the top nut on the spring was not tighten.

    Great job! Wanna ask if my prius ground clearance is lower than normal prius, will it increase ground clearance after replacing shocks and struts?

    It depends if your shocks are already leaking oil and it's sagging then yes, replacing it will improve the issue of low ground clearance.
