Mag Ride Replacement

[spadz93]

About to swap in new struts on my '15. Was looking for a thread here with some pictures on the depinning process, but the only thread that seemed to have good info has the pictures missing from it. Does anyone have any good pictures of the process, or any alternative ideas for handling that connection?

Also, please don't say "get coilovers". I'll look into them later if I really start tracking the car, but for right now OEM is fine for me.

Get a scribe from autozone to release the wire pins from the connector, but you must first remove the purple pin lock inside the connector. I have done this three times now and using a very skinny long pair of needle nose pliers works best by inserting into the two holes on the purple tab, squeezing together and pulling it out. But be careful it will more than likely go shooting across your work area, so confine your workspace.. just reverse with the new struts. Remember to place the pins in the right orientation or the tabs won’t lock,then reinsert the purple locking tab and reassemble the connector , your ready to put the coil spring back on.
