Hello Peter. This is Angus all the way from New Zealand: I’ve just successfully replaced all four shock absorbers on my 1996 Toyota Caldina station wagon after watching your tutorial : Many thanks : I would not have known how to approach it without your help. Cheers from Angus Mac

Hi Peter - thank you very much for a great guide. It was both informative and down to earth. It gave me the courage to do the job myself and even though my RAV4 is a little different I would check your video repeatedly for guidance. Some advice I would give to those first timers is when you take the assembly apart take the time to use a white marker for reference and check and mark how the spring fits back into the bottom and top plates. Also my top plate had an irregular shaped hole that allows you to line up with the shock piston rod and the part where it slots in that so you can screw the rod nut down tight. Also I had to push down the wheel mount so I could get the shock assembly back on and used a large 24" (500mm) stilson wrench handle which worked perfectly for leveraging while pushing down and in. Also I used a jack with a jack stand for safety. Superb job Peter.

Thank you for the video, Peter. It was very informative. Should the wheels be aligned after the process?

Peter, very nice explanation, thank you. I'd like to ask you where to get a steel pipe like that, A big fat pipe. I found a threaded steel pipe at home depot but I couldn't locate a place that sells them. Can I use a piece of steel exhaust pipe, however they are not that thick, I think they're made of steel alloy. I appreciate any suggestion. Thanks.
@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor10 жыл бұрын
That kinds of steel pipe you can find from plumber's store and building materials's store. Important is in pipe, that pipe's thickness must be more then 1 mm or 03/64 inch.

Peter Finn Thanks Peter, I did find a fence post pipe but they sell them in 6 foot sections and they won't cut them. But I think I found a shop that's willing to cut them for me. I need about a pipe that's about 2 feet in length. I think that length will help break some stubborn nuts. Thanks again.

they call that galvanized steel. you can used what they call Rigid Metal Conduit (RMT) for electrical work. they will have it at most Home Depot/Lowes kind of places with the electrical pipe.
