Haha, 2:26 - you won't find a Mk5 Golf on the planet with original arms that doesn't have a seized bolt. And the bolt is seized into a rubber bush aluminium sleeve so it's a world of pain to get out, usually involving an air saw and a lot of swearing.

[@169orgasmatron]

Fighting with my Tiguan control arm right now. OMG. The damned bolt will NOT come out. Yeah, there's swearing...

[@Champ54]

I just pulled out the grinder today , problem solved....

[@169orgasmatron]

@@Champ54 I ended up doing the same. Then took it to a local shop who pushed in the new bushing for 20 bucks.

That's an interesting way of compressing springs.

Excellent tutorial guys, got all the info I need to carry out this job on my Audi A3, same platform pretty much so the job is the same from start to finish 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I'm just replacing all rear bushes on my vw passat Rline so its easy just to replace new parts ie lower arms etc.....😊... But I'm upgrading all bushes & few bolts as it all original old parts its 10 years old..now 😎

Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately, the complexity of car parts' replacement on each particular model of the car is individual and it all depends on the technical condition of the parts. Stay tuned with us! Best regards, Autodoc team!

Do a standard front sway bar replacement on a mk5 golf👍

Thank you for your comment! We will make sure to take note of that for our new videos! Best Regards, Autodoc Team

Just had the rear suspension arms replaced on my Octavia combi. Should the springs be replaced too when this work is carried out ?

[@autodocuk]

It is not necessary to change the springs when replacing the levers. AUTODOC

[@Matt463634]

Blurred logo? Are VW that touchy about it being shown?

[@maryo2620]

Hello. A superb and professional tutorial. All the videos I've watched, you even put the screw tightening values, which is very professional. I would like to find mechanics like you to fix my car. My question is: After changing the suspension arm, must the rear wheels be aligned? thank you

[@autodocuk]

Thanks for your feedback! We are glad that you like our video. Yes, it is recommended to adjust the wheel alignment after this replacement.

Why did you marked that washer

[@mariomariano3098]

I live in UK and I own an Passat 2008. B6 and guys almost every single bolt from rear suspension is sized due the corrosion. I never seen that bad even when I've changed the suspension to seat Leon 52 reg.. Horrible.

[@vladpop88]

The midle bushing is blocked for majority of the cars :(

[@ender8146]

Hi, i have one question. Before one month i changed my rear suspension, and i noticed that the car is sitting too high in the back compared to the front. Same springs just changed the suspension. Any idea, any help how can i fix that? My car: Golf Mk5 2006!

[@autodocuk]

Unfortunately, we do not have such information, we recommend that you consult with a mechanic at the service. AUTODOC

[@hollow34]

All my springs are same height, but definitely will sit higher on new springs. Check they are seated correctly in to the arm.

[@markkennedy9535]

Hi, what's the bush called on the hub end of wishbone please?

[@autodocuk]

This is the rear lower control arm bushing.

Camber?

[@BananaM3thBread]

Can you do this without a lift safety

[@autodocuk]

Hi! This work is recommended to be carried out only with the use of a lift.

[@Rusties844]

Is this the same process for a mrk 2 seat Leon 2012

[@autodocuk]

In general, the replacement will be similar, the only thing may be slightly different is the design features of your car. More detailed information can be found in the technical documentation for repairing your car or visit the car service.

[@Rusties844]

@@autodocuk thanks

[@matsobanemashapa7457]

Why did you marked that washer

[@autodocuk]

In order to install it in the same position and after replacing the car could correctly drive to the stand under its own power and make an alignment adjustment

[@richierich4175]

It didn't show how to correct the camber of the wheels. If not correctly set, the tyres will wear unevenly.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! It is almost impossible to adjust the position of the wheels in a garage without a proper stand and to do this properly we highly recommend to use a professional car workshop. Stay home and stay tuned with us! Best regards, Autodoc team!

Pointless marking the washers the rear tracking was properly out b4 so need to adjust anyway

[@hardcoreboom1878]

Not really you get it as cl9se as you can then take it for 4 wheel alignment , your way is have it totally out so you have no tyres left when get there! Always mark!

[@craiggibson3523]

@@hardcoreboom1878 I’m gonna watch back something from 2 years ago but I’m aware of what to do I work as a mobile tyre fitter and know what needs to be done. They seize solid and had the job of replacing all this on a family member’s

[@hollow34]

Voice over is REALLY annoying, please stop. I noticed you didn't change the bush in the wheel bearing housing. Is this something that you would recommend doing and how would you DIY this? thank you.
