Great video! Saved a ton of money doing this myself.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Glad it helped!

[@patricklemieux8963]

Thanks for the great video. Excellent details, you saved me a lot of time.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Glad it helped!

You should always replace the Strut Mount and upper and lower Bushings when you replace the struts on a Sprinter. The Strut Mount and upper and lower Bushings are a wear-item.

Thanks for the tip!

[@stephenbutler6950]

The best way to take shock off, is to undo the top nut first, and then the bottom bolts, that way you don't need two pair of hands, easy peazy lemon sqeazy. 🤜🤛✌️.

Thanks for sharing!

Great video. Right to the point and didn't waste my time with a bunch of useless chatter. What was the orange pad product name and where did you get them.

[@AnthonyJ350]

They're GoTreads gotreads.com?rpid=3&rpr=186

[@stealthg35infiniti94]

Those Orange extensions are great for low profile cars so you don't scrap the front end while going on to the ramp.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Most definitely!

Hello, greetings from Spain, could you help me locate the part number of the black part that has four screws and reinforces the shock absorber. appears at minute 0:44. when removing the shock absorber bolts. thank you so much

[@AnthonyJ350]

Not sure, did you try the dealership?

[@samuelfratto364]

I went to Mercedes-Benz. Got a quote for over 2,000 just 2 weeks ago.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Crazy

[@jacknimble1]

You can get away with out an alignment if you are pretty spot on with your scribe line and reinstall with shocks. I have measured it before and after. Tie rod ends are a little harder.

[@AnthonyJ350]

I still prefer to have the front end checked when ever doing suspension work.

[@walterhassard8257]

Thanks. I've always wondered if I was a savant because I've taken front ends apart and after brings to shop they say it's balls on. But I'm super careful

[@frontlinemedia4270]

Do you have a video with fixing and oil leak on the rear axle on this vehicle?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Sorry, no I don't.

[@frontlinemedia4270]

@@AnthonyJ350 my front shock set up was a little different maybe because of it being an American vehicle, idk? I have a leaking rear axle and haven't found anything on this. Takes for your video

[@dancetnobigdeal]

What’s the torque spec?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Don't remember, we had a service manual we were consulting.

[@TyronePatOne]

I would put the torque wrench on the old bolt and work through some settings until it clicks. Then you'll know settings and you can then remove the old bolt.

[@SaiTorrKalFas]

@@TyronePatOne loosening torque is not identical to fastening torque, this method will not give you a good value.

[@TyronePatOne]

@@SaiTorrKalFas of course, that's why you would check it on fastening torque

[@Evil_Morty2000]

What a weird how to video

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for the weird comment!
