How far in does the strut got through the knuckle?

[@mariod5760]

what is the red isomer between car body and strut top mount called? Having trouble to locate replacement part number.

[@autodocuk]

This is the spacer that the car was retrofitted by the owner separately.

[@alejandromontano9194]

Do you require to do a wheel alignment after this job? Thank you in advance

[@autodocuk]

Yes, it is recommended to make an alignment adjustment after this replacement.

[@logmegadeth72]

Why do you spray the copper grease on the bolt heads? I've never seen it applied this way before, you're supposed to apply it to the threads so it doesn't rust up and seize.

[@autodocuk]

Copper grease perfectly protects against corrosion and sticking of parts: thus it will not allow the thread to turn sour and will facilitate dismantling during further replacement.

5:07 says 22 drive socket got so insane just to find one to buy the i see 5:11 it says 21 mm daim it literally says on the pipe,..... is there anything else im missing?

[@autodocuk]

You can get acquainted with the set following the link www.autodoc.co.uk/yato/13639595?search=YATO%20Socket%20set%20(YT-0628)

[@ricad58]

Good video but you missed the torque setting for the hub to CV joint which I believe is 200Nm + 180 degs this is important!

[@autodocuk]

Thanks for the clarification, the correct drive torque is 70 Nm + 90°

[@mahirzuko]

I just got monroe shocks front for a vw passat 95. They are oil not gas but they do not return back when I push them all the way down they stay there. They are new is that a problem ?

[@autodocuk]

Unlike gas shock absorbers, oil shock absorbers will not return to the top position on their own. It's normal.

[@mahirzuko]

@@autodocuk thank you never installed these just gas but read they are more enjoyable and not hard as gas ones are.

[@leiferikaskeland5531]

are the arrows on the strut showing the front and back

[@JordanFraczek]

Yes

[@hellsk100]

Im scared of those springs.. ill spend the extra $$ for the full assembly

[@noelmorgan1902]

Does the car use electronic shocks

[@autodocuk]

This vehicle does not use electronically adjustable shock absorbers.
