Don't you just love how the guys at Autodoc went through the trouble of re-assembling a totally different front strut compared to the one they took off?
So.... a torque wrench is to ensure the CORRECT tightening of a fastener. If your torque wrench clicks before the fastener even moves, you've OVER TIGHTENED the fastener.
@@adrianmack3 clearly you've got a dry sense of humour 👍 Anyway a torque wrench is to apply a specific amount of torque to a fastner, they should have just nipped it up with the rattle gun and finished it off with the torque wrench rather than sending it to god and then clicking the wrench which in this case is clearly over torqued
It is not possible to answer your question unequivocally; we recommend that you consult with your mechanic. It is recommended to replace both sides at the same time.
How long does this take with proper tools? Just had all four struts, bearings and mounts replaced and now 2 weeks later I'm getting creaking sounds like the driver side strut bearing.. They said to bring it back..
Where can I buy the tool you use to undo them please? The one that goes inside the other one, and the outer one.. Both of them.. I just can't seem to find them
the replacement will be similar. It might be slightly different in the design features of your car. More accurate information can be found in the vehicle maintenance log book
It is important to tighten all fasteners with a torque wrench and with the torque moment that is prescribed for your car since car configurations may differ, and accordingly, tightening moments may also differ. Thank you for your attention.
What a load of nonsense,puts everything on nut and bolt with a impact gun then goes and torques the bolts/nuts what a chop stick,if they click of there overtorqued wouldn’t trust yous to fill my screen washer bottle up,and why spray everything with copper grease spray! So it looks good? That grease sat on top of bolt heads is achieving nothing

It doesn't matter if it's torqued to spec or cross threaded... Tight is tight
@@macauleyh5 missed the point. You clearly don't understand the purpose of a torque wrench.

Figure the more videos I watch of these, the more confidence I will get - :) - Thanks
I love the absolutely useless use of the wire brush at times.
pinnacle of perfection
Thanks for your positive comment! Stay with us!

We do not have such information, we recommend that you consult your mechanic.
with proper tools no more than 1,5h per side

You can have a look at the set and purchase it at the link www.autodoc.co.uk/yato/13639595?UA-cam&
I would never let you work on my car. I'm speechless, I don't even know where to start. Impact on TTY bolts!?!?!?!?!?!!?
5:25 why the hell is he scratching the base coat of the chassis with wire brush? i would use plastic brush
Your notion is very useful for us, we will work on it.
It hurts just watching it lol.
Is this the same for the mk8 golf r?

Please don't use wire brush everywhere! More damage than good! WD 40, brake cleaner or whatssoever is more than enough. Othervise good.
We are sure that your comment will be useful for us and many of our viewers.
Axle bolt needs to be torqued to 200 nm + 180 degrees. Otherwise u can loose a wheel.

This video would be so much better without the insanely annoying background music
