Outstanding video. Thank you. You saved me big bucks, and I did it safely. Mine's a 2012 VW Touareg V6 Sport w/ 150K miles. Everything exactly the same as this Audi Q7 except the way the upper portion of the strut connects to the frame. I ordered that discount ball joint separator kit you recommended, and it worked perfectly.

BEST VIDEO OUT THERE ! VERY DETAILED AND HELPFUL

[@Eschrisc2]

Thanks very much. Loved your explanations. However it is very difficult for someone not professional. I will do at the bodyshop 😅😂

[@das1997]

Love the 4l videos!

[@kaibintech]

Great video!

[@rorando8704]

hi, may know how to access to adjust the dampers without removing the whole strut

[@sprinterfix]

would you suggest to replace strut mounts as well?

[@n.h.sulleman8538]

Fantastic video and great help!!👍 but I’m a little confused! In your front strut link it says (Non air suspension) . Am I correct in thinking this stays in one level like normal cars without any air involved. Because I would prefer that over the complicated air related stuff? Thank again

[@mba376]

Hey mate - good video. Honestly feel that I can do this myself after watching this. Question for you. How good are these unity struts? Will I enjoy them for 100k km? We have 230k on our Q7 and it is definitely time to do them... worried that they won't last 100k more or they'll be shady in 20k?

[@user-fi3lf9td7z]

Cool

[@uptodatimet6]

Can you reuse the top shock mount again ?

[@Mac-wv8uk]

has anyone ever told you that you sound like Ron Dennis? (ex-Mclaren F1 boss)

[@cjceeez9897]

thank you X 5.5k!
