Grande manualità, e per niente spaventato di affrontare situazioni anomale che si presentano mentre si fanno questi lavori. Te la sei cavata benissimo! Importante è stringere i braccetti con macchina su piano orizzontale (come hai fatto). Una regola, però importante, sempre e solo con le chiavi dinamometriche, quindi stringendo a valori di coppia, sarebbe meglio perchè quelle viti sono importanti (tutte le viti sono importanti). Le chiavi fisse, sono la malattia della meccanica. Malattia significa anche morte della meccanica, soprattutto su questi sistemi di ancoraggio (braccetti, ammortizzatori, motore e cambio) Molta ruggine sotto questa Mercedes, strade piene di sale sicuramente. e 20 anni di automobile con uso di acqua, sale, nebbia ecc..! Poi in quegli anni Mercedes un po' aveva perso l'orientamento sui trattamenti della carrozzeria (la W203 è molto sensibile a questo) Comunque bravo (good job) ottimo lavoro

Great manual skills, and not at all afraid of facing anomalous situations that arise while doing these jobs. You did great! It is important to tighten the arms with the machine on a horizontal plane (as you did). An important rule, however, is always and only with torque wrenches, therefore tightening to torque values ​​would be better because those screws are important (all screws are important). Fixed wrenches are the disease of mechanics. Illness also means death of the mechanics, especially on these anchoring systems (arms, shock absorbers, engine and gearbox) Lots of rust under this Mercedes, streets full of sales for sure. and 20 years of car with use of water, sale, fog etc..! Then in those years Mercedes had lost a bit of orientation on bodywork treatments (the W203 is very sensitive to this) Anyway well done (good job) great job

@@Sonolaleggendadeimotori Thank you for your nice comment. Much appreciated🤝

Nothing wrong with your workmanship that's called experienced know how to get yourself out of situations working on rusty bolts and old cars a art that's been lost on younger mechanics I see coming through that's called quality pride in workmanship

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Thank you for the kind words. This is one of the nicest messages I have ever received. 🤝🏻

I started as a mechanic back in 1993 and now a diagnostic tech as mechaning to me is all good with bolts and jobs like clutches and brakes engine rebuilds so good to see a guy with pride and quality workmanship and there is a few a watch like u on utube all the best for 2024

@@danielgreenbaum8875 Nice to hear your story buddy. I started working on my own cars 14 years ago as I got scammed by the local VW dealer. After that day I never went back to a dealership and started educating myself to work on my own cars. I am really interested to learn more about diagnostics and solving electrical problems. I want to learn how ECUs work so I can get a better understanding how to trace problems when they happen.

[@blass5506]

[@azamatbezhan1653]

How many kilomtres arm lasts, i think 200 000 km, how do you yhink

[@TheKeenMechanic]

@@azamatbezhan1653 Some manufacturers give 3 to 5 years warranty but all depends on roads in your country.

[@Sonolaleggendadeimotori]

@@TheKeenMechanic Penso che ti abbia chiesto quanto durano (quanti km possono fare i braccetti) e quanti km avevano quelli tolti (certo che la durata dipende dalle strade percorse, ma di tu)

[@Sonolaleggendadeimotori]

@@TheKeenMechanic I think he asked you how long they last (how many km the arms can cover) and how many km the ones removed had (of course the duration depends on the roads travelled, but it's up to you)
