hi, can you tell me why the large bolt is slotted? and if there is a certain way it should be fitted? thank you
@RothBeyondTheGrave3 жыл бұрын
They're camber/castor bolts. The placement of the bolts adjusts...you guessed it....the camber & castor. I don't think they're all fitted with these bolts.

Great video, you make it look simple! Quick question: should you put the wheel on before torqing the bolts? Thanks
@autodocuk2 жыл бұрын
Before tightening the lever bolts, you must install the wheel and lower the car to the ground, the bolts must be tightened under load.

Hi! Is it mandatory to jack up the suspension when you tighten up the bolts?
@autodocuk Жыл бұрын
It is recommended to tighten the bolts when the car is mounted on wheels, in this case we simulated the working position of the suspension with a hydraulic suspension.

Hi there and thanks for the video. What is happening at about 3:50 on the vid. What was "compressing" the suspension? Thanks

The mechanic lowers the hydraulic strut, with the help of which he simulated the working position of the suspension when tightening the chassis.

Why is it that you have to tighten it with the suspension pushed up or with it on the ground
@SR1Records16 күн бұрын
@@danielstone6228 Old comment, but maybe this will help someone else now wondering the same thing. If you tighten up the bolt with no load on the suspension, once the car is on wheels on the ground the arm will pivot, which will twist the rubber, which will lead to the rubber splitting prematurely. Another way to think about it... Put out your index finger on your right hand (as if you're pointing). Now grab it tight with your left hand. Twist your right hand index finger with your left hand. Doesn't feel good, does it? In this case, your left elbow is where the ball joint is. The ball joint rises when the car is back on the ground. So lift up your left elbow and keep it there. That constant twisting force you feel on your right index finger will be applied to the rubber at that bolt forever. The same thing will happen if you tighten up the bolt on the control arm before you load the suspension - once you load the suspension, the arm want to twist on the bolt, but the bolt is too tight, so the rubber takes up the play, which can make the rubber crack/tear.
