How to change rear suspension arm / rear control arm on VW PASSAT B6 (3C5) [TUTORIAL AUTODOC]

[@lesterthelab]

No mention that the outer bolts are meant to be replaced as they are single use stretch bolts or that the inner bolts usually seize inside the bush so you have to cut them out

[@raymomull2258]

True

[@migavia]

It happened to me also, you just have to cut them off.

The video is very good, but the music is very distracting and WAY too loud, I can't see where to turn it off.

[@autodocuk]

We are very sorry that the music made you uncomfortable, in the new videos we have already fixed the problem with the music. AUTODOC

[@carmelom269]

I agree on the annoying music. Would be more helpful to listen to the technician talking his way through the steps of the replacement.

[@sunilbfd5268]

Turn it down on ur phone r u special

[@adamtkeogh]

Great video. I'm looking to replace the bushings instead of the entire arm but can't seem to find the correct ones for the hub side. Are they the same bushings for both ends of the arm? Thanks

[@autodocuk]

These bushings are different. AUTODOC

[@leo3325]

Nice video! You used a white marker pen to align a washer prior to tightening a screw. If I miss the alignment, what should I do? Thanks

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment. In any case, after this replacement, even with a marker, you will have to go and do the wheel alignment at a specialized stand. Approximately, the mark will happen only in order to get into the collapse correctly. Best Regards, Autodoc team

Do both control arms have to be replaced at the same time or its fine to replace only one side?

[@autodocuk]

It is recommended to replace both levers at the same time if necessary.

[@GraphicsByStorm]

I have a question, I have a 2003 vw passat b5, and the rear lower control arm looks identical, is this the same part? Or is it discontinued or something? I can't seem to find the part anywhere.

[@autodocuk]

This is the same spare part.

GOOD JOB THANKS SO MUCH !!! спасибо большое. Отличная работа. (Russian)

[@autodocuk]

We are glad that you enjoy our work!

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for sharing your opinion!

[@tmautos-surrey-sussex]

Just a note it looked like your technician fitted one of the legs of the 2post lift partially up on the fuel tank !

[@toxiczebra5920]

I forgot to raise the knuckle , therefor , loading the springs before tightening the bolts. Now the car has rear camber and is undriveable🤣 but easy fix! I'll just loosened it up and raise the knuckle and rebolting it up. Thanks !

[@lightswitch342]

I just want to know what he used to lower the control arm? Can I just use a jack?

[@autodocuk]

The mechanic used a hydraulic stand but if possible you can use a jack.

[@MikeMcAuliffe-g2f]

Thanks for the video.

[@richierich4175]

I've just done mine and I hat to cut the adjustable bolts to get them out. I bought the all parts from autodoc but the adjustable bolts are short so now I'm worried about the safety. On the autodoc app it doesn't specify the length of the bolts.

[@autodocuk]

Thanks brother

You CAN use only these tools to do this job, but that is contingent on having enough space for leverage. If you are servicing your vehicle in a dilapidated driveway, attempting these projects with minimal kit is not advisable in the slightest. Not to knit-pick further but those suspension bolts are single use and should be replaced during this service.

[@autodocuk]

We are sure that your comment will be useful for many of our viewers.

[@alexey9900]

Good 👍👍👍

[@diameadozen]

If the adjustment bolt came out that easy on an older one😂

[@autodocuk]

Each step of replacement is quite unique when do a car repair, hence we cannot display all problems when replacing. Moreover it is not so easy to handle them yourself at home. To avoid this, we always recommend specialized car services.

[@peteroprzadek7773]

Don’t listen to this, while yes this is how you do this it doesn’t mention how the inner bolts corrode to the bushing and are practically impossible to take off

*When is the Easter competition ?*

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment. We kindly ask you to stay tuned with us and follow our updates that not to miss new competitions coming soon. Best Regards, Autodoc team

[@andrewirving1963]

The music is horrible. Get rid!

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! The music can be turned off in the area below the video for your comfort. Best regards, Autodoc Team.

[@markhpman]

music in videos is so annoying.

[@TheMexico28]

Get rid of the music ..

[@schmeerical]

The music is obnoxious and there is no explanation at all. Best viewed with sound turned off because they tell you NOTHING in the audio.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for watching the video. If you don't like the background music, please mute the sound on the toolbar below.

[@janlundquist3132]

Fuck the music!! does every film maker beleive all gyus listen to hard rock??

[@vladmihai306]

this is the same as golf 5

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment! The process for replacing the rear arms can be very different as the vehicles are of different classes. Best Regards, Autodoc team

[@vladmihai306]

@@autodocuk yes, I agree, but passat b6 and golf 5 share the same platform

[@dickturpin1815]
