Promaster - Ducato Struts and Mounts Replacement - Fixed Popping Noise When Turning

[@GreyJedi73]

Great video! Just the information I needed. Thank you sir!

[@tonynicoletti3545]

great vid!! and good work explaining!!

[@DualsportDisport]

Great video. I get the noise when I turn but also get clunking on bumps. Going to replace these mounts and hopefully that's it. Thanks for the video

[@giannizamora7247]

Did that fix end up helping?

[@lostman65]

i have a similar problem with my promaster. did replacing the mounts work?

[@gerardocheuquecoy1046]

hola , consulta la cazoleta tiene un posición con respecto al amortiguador , la caída , se agradece una respuesta

[@americanrambler4972]

You mentioned 2 hours allowed for the job. Is that for 1 strut or both struts? What is a reasonable amount of time needed to replace a pair of these stunts and bearings from the time you start to the time you finish? Assuming you have the proper tools for the job. Looks like a fair amount of time and effort is expended to just get to them, then put everything back afterwards.

Een ganse dag heb ik nodig gehad. Bij hem is de aandrijfas eruit, bij mij niet; Bij een Ducato kan je de poot losmaken van de naaf, bij een Boxer met 1 schroef gaat dat niet. ik heb de 3 schroeven van de rotule en stuurarm moeten losmaken. Een ganse dag proberen was dat. Toplager en veer was gebroken, wat een rotklus.

Whoever designed these vans and put the BCM there should be strung up!

[@TreyCamp]

Thanks! That was the problem I was having, my ProMaster has 360k miles

[@oscaralvarado524]

Thanks

[@alexanderkasyanov4946]

Is there a way to do maintenance on the strut bearings? Add grease ?

[@rtz549]

Gabriel makes a strut kit that has a new spring installed plus that top bearing mount for $135.

[@giannizamora7247]

Did you end up using that I see it on Amazon? But the problem is they say that they aren’t as good as the oem so it would be better to just get that top mopar piece to replace those ball bearings.

​@@giannizamora7247 Replaced original with the Gabriel kit and after 12k miles I have a clunk coming from the strut tower. Not clunking while turning the wheel just when going slow over small bumps. Thought it was ball joint but the joint is tight can't emulate the noise when the car is jacked.

Thank you my friend.😇

[@iceblue6971]

Was that 1st time they changed them, how many miles?

[@TDRAuto]

iceblue 69 Yes first time, 100k

[@billworkman8430]

@@TDRAuto Both of my front struts starting leaking oil at 75,000 I had Maxicare so they were replaced with new mounts also

[@herbycarlos6794]

Is it necessary to remove axle from knuckle or did you do that for speed?

[@hdetmechanicd4911]

Nope, you do need to put a spring compressor on the quickstrut to install it without having to touch the balljoint or axle nut. I pulled out the sway bar nut to make things easier to put the control arm down to squeeze the compressed quick strut into the bore/ear on the spindle. 3 hr job.

[@aspos4287]

Don't we have to pump the strut before assembling it (mechanic has told me once) ?

[@TDRAuto]

I just checked the service procedure in FCA Service Library and there is no mentioning of ‘pumping’ before installation. The only ‘pumping’ required as far as I know is on Wranglers for steering dampener.

[@ignasignas568]

good job

[@johntatman9168]

2 hrs labor is ridiculous. Customers only see the total bill and have no idea how little of that actually goes to the tech.

[@rwag5635]

why didn't you show how you put bottom back together

[@rcsc824sc8]

Damn.. I thought I could change them on my own. Is to much work and I definitely don't have the appropriate tools.
