2:12 holy shit I see why you're replacing them. Thanks for this guide, I need to do this job on mine.

[@StelaStratulatKasttela]

How much tork does the impact have ? A 400 nm impact is strong enough to do the job ? Thanks

[@palofilo5574]

How much would u charge for job like this? Two sides. + Changing the droplinks.

[@Mosey2able]

[@nazmalik82]

Decent guide

[@ezautorepair1004]

[@nazmalik82]

Have you done the drivers side yet? Is it harder?

[@ORileysAutos]

Not yet. Possibly have to move some parts inside like the accelerator pedal

[@iansurname4789]

Three 10mm nuts then accelerate pedel moves out the way

Unghiul de cădere al roți cum l-ai reglat?

Your boot is missing there, it should come off of the plate and a new boot installed or the new strut won't last long.

[@ORileysAutos]

3 years and 65,000 miles later its still fine. No boot available anywhere at the time

[@derek876544]

what about the shocker cover

[@ORileysAutos]

There wasn't one available at the time.

[@derek876544]

@@ORileysAutos just done mine yesterday cover was split. shit all round the top of the shocker seal.your new shockers not gonna last long with all the grit getting in !!

[@ORileysAutos]

@derek876544 it was an emergency so didn't mind if I had to replace it again. Almost 3 years ago now and it's still fine. 👍🏻

- Others have mentioned: Replace the boot, it is there for a reason. - Everything is covered with oil, at least wipe it off. - You transferred quite a bit of oil onto the brake disc. That can ruin your day if you don't clean it off. - The camber is off now, at least you do not seem to mention that it has to be adjusted afterwards. - Tighten the wheel lugs in a cross-pattern. - No word about torques whatsoever. Sorry mate, but this is some sloppy backyard style work. It make me sad to see, especially from somebody who works on cars/equipment of customers. You can do better.

Alte Domlager gelassen, keine neuen Faltenbälge, was ein Pfuscher.
