Looks like the rear subframe had its day

Cool did mine yesterday whats the washer at the bottom of the damper. I wasn't sure whether it had to be facing a certain way to keep toe alignment

[@seanwallace1972]

With out having a vice,is there any other way of removing the top bracket without the centre spinning,

[@seanwallace1972]

Good video the top and bottom shock bolts sizes would be a tip to mention what size they are

[@carsbikes9961]

Good point Sean, cheers 👍

[@user-ts9ev6bi6r]

Nice video, what's about tightening torque?

[@carsbikes9961]

Should be 150nm for bottom bolt and 90nm for the top

[@seanwallace1972]

What can I use to stop the shaft from turning as I don’t have a vice

[@carsbikes9961]

Hi, Vice grips would do, but i would use a cloth between the shaft and grips so the shift doesn't get damaged/scratched

[@symple-pedia8211]

Great video 👍🏼 is it gas type or oil type? Which one is better for insignia?

[@carsbikes9961]

Hi, Gas for Insignia

How did you tie down the upper screw. Mines just spinning.

[@carsbikes9961]

Hi, it's held by the vice, that's how I can use a socket, if not hold the top of the shocker with vice grips and use a spanner

@@carsbikes9961 turns out wrong thread on the actual shock. Found is easy when I had the correct bolt.

[@carsbikes9961]

@@hal752 Glad to hear that 🙂

[@dukeofdevon5608]

I did mine last year. Trust my Insignia to have self levelling shocks. £750 for the pair 😮

[@carsbikes9961]

That's expensive :(
