I’ve watched 5 other DIY videos. This was by far the best one. Laying out the disassembled parts in the order they came apart was a great tip. Thanks for sharing.

Did my struts today and this video really helped. A few tips from my side: - make sure your spring compressor is set up in a way that lets you reinstall the parts on the new struts. Mine was in the way and i had to reposition it. - when reinstalling the strut it was sitting way lower than the rest of the suspension. I removed the sway bar link on one side to lower the suspension. - the lower bolt should be torqued at ride height. I started the bolt, then put a jack under it and raised it to ride height (even better if you measure that height before jacking up the car). This is also the time to reinstall that sway bar link All in all a pretty easy job if you take your time

Greta in-depth video. Thank for this! I was confused because at first I thought I had to remove the mount bolts from inside the car like some vehicles are. One of the easiest set of struts I’ve done.

Thank you Mike ! There is a small mistake. The tightening of the wheel bolts according to MINI's specification is 140NM and not 122NM. Amazing video!

Are you not supposed to torque the lower strut bolt to spec when its under load?

If it will be a lowering spring will the torque specs like the retaining nut on the strut/spring be the same? Tnx
