DIY for REAR SHOCK ABSORTERS - 160 tkm SERVICE - BMW F20 engine N13

[@jasonst5688]

The lower bolt should be tightened at rideheight. That's preventing the lower shock bushing from twisting.

[@KyleRockett]

I’m thinking of changing mine myself. How do you tighten it at ride height?

[@KyleRockett]

I would assume put the bolt in but not tightened up. Lower the car so it’s on the floor then torque the bolt up?

Hi, I did the work on the rear shock absorbers everything went well and I was able to do it in about 1 hour your tutorial is great this is already the 2nd or 3rd that I have followed successfully Thanks a lot know that I had more than 600€ from the mechanic guy it cost me 95€ with the bilstein b4 brand lol

[@sandipghosh8006]

Very good. Very good job 👍

[@nekoyama1214]

Thank you. Is there a video on the front suspension? I searched for your video on the F20 car but couldn't find it.

[@stRing-Agenda]

Great tutoriatl, thanks. I hope I will use it soon. Do you plan to make a film about front absorbers as well?

[@simonh870]

Good video, I would be tempted to add a small amount of gasket sealant around the top mount before fitting as it will help prevent future ingress. Or ideally replace the gaskets...

[@jacobschetelig5449]

Hey, great video! Do you know by any chance what size the nuts that connect the top of the shock absorber to the mount are?

[@Ivars14]

6:20 You maked already 100nm and then +90degree? Cause i made only 110nm and i still have clunking noise from back on bigger bumps. Changed shocks,struts,sway bar end links. Comfort is there, but noise isn't gone.

[@Hannnnnzi]

Great video❤ where can I find all the torque info for front and rear suspension?

[@l33lvr]

Can this be done without using a vice?

[@stevennova6692]

My f20 issues when shock cover bump stop slipped down then have some squeaky noise. Shock cover bump stop didn’t crack but I can fix back for temporary only by push by hand.

[@Andydf32]

Great video. What is the 90 degree tighten at the end , is this tighten to 100nm plus 90 degrees ?

[@MA-jk2yc]

I have got the same question. Dont understand the 90gr

[@glennmckie1813]

Yes it will be, tighten to nm then further 90°

[@freedom14639]

Hey great video. Does it matter if one shock is oil pressure and the other gas?

[@CML-r1x]

😊😊😊😊 muito bom 😅😅😅😅

[@peterl9436]

what is the name if that light/lamp that you are using? which milwaukee M12 is it, please? Thanks

[@SuperBasshunters]

Why didn't you replace the top shock mount? They make noises even below 100,000 km mileage.

[@JaniVoutilainen]

What in that part can keep noices? At least nothing comes to mind. I don't think there are any moving parts in it?

[@SuperBasshunters]

@@JaniVoutilainen I did not have this part in my hand, but in this car several people were looking for the reason for the quiet knocking and that was the solution

[@KV89-b3c]

@@SuperBasshunters yep, I changed the whole set shocks and mounts at 170kkm. And now when its cold weather there is soft knocking at rear. But only when cold. Will check this out and see what is happening

[@lgdelgado]

Great video @JaniVoutilainen! Thank you. I'm having this metallic noise coming from rear wheel, I suspect the strut or strut mount... can someone please advise if top strut mounts can originate this kind of noise? Thanks. Example of noise in the video below: kzbin.info2iSR4c6-pW0?si=nEySyeVHb0qTbp51

[@KV89-b3c]

I also have knocking only in cold weather over small fast bumps at low speeds. The rear shocks and mounts have been replaced a long time ago but its weird that they would have failed again. What was your solution? Mechanic told me that everything is ok.

[@iamgarrytay]

My 2016 116D started giving sharp squeak sounds whenever I turn right. Earlier this morning, the squeak noises ramped up to whenever I drive. In the cabin i can more or less tell it's coming from the left rear. The rubber covers also have broken off. What exactly do i need replacing?

[@BobbyG.9]

Most likely not your shock absorber like this video. Sounds like a squeaking bush. Have a look at the rear arms and see which are perished.

[@andriusst.3572]

Hello, I am thinking of installing this variant in a standard chassis, the plans may include lower springs. BILSTEIN 19-218014. maybe they are shorter than the standard shock absorber?

[@leexr2i]

For standard replacements on standard springs use Bilstein B4 shocks.. if you are going to lower the car go for B8 shocks and m performance bump stops

[@markhanson3245]

What sockets are used to remove the bolts?

[@KyleRockett]

Did you find out what socket will do it? BMW said they don’t sell the special tool

[@leexr2i]

Mine have failed at 90k miles.. I have new ones in the post 👍🏻

Саленблок на амортизаторе долго ходить не будет не правильная установка ….. нижнюю гайку нужно затягивать когда подвеска находиться в рабочем положении!
