Hi. What mm socket is the #9 shock absorber socket please if that’s the slim tool that goes on the top?? I’m looking for the one that connects to the shock itself not the nut
Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately, it is not possible to answer your question, perhaps you can find out this information in the technical documentation for the repair of your car. Best Regards, Autodoc team
This video saved me nearly £600. I'm so grateful! Failed my MOT with leaking shock absorbers. Can't believe they quoted me £800 to have the work done (and drop links done). Told them to jog on and did it myself. 10 hours later soaked from the rain but £600 quids up! Heroes!

Why not change the whole shock absorver instead of fixing the old one?
Thanks alot

The copper grease spray is common in UK not in my country so can I use white lithium grease?
If the characteristics of the lubricant are suitable, then you can use it.

You don't need shock absorber sockets. Just use offset spanners.
What’s a offset spanner?
Is there any link for the spring compressor to buy?
You can purchase a spring compressor using this link:

It should be a 9mm. I used a 9mm spanner on the top of the shock absorber and a 18mm for the nut.
on one video you show the strength of the screws of the same part 92Nm and on another 105 Nm really professionally :)
As if its really that critical
