Good 👍👍😃

[@thallwright]

Was there a reason you removed the CV joint from the wheel carrier? I have seen examples where the CV is left in place. Thanks

[@autodocuk]

The mechanic removed the CV joint for a more correct and convenient replacement.

[@dalmatino9336]

Thnx,you are awesome 👍👍👍👍

[@fredbailey2076]

the special tool ?is it just a suitable allen bit to splay the damper mount to aid removal of the shock absorber ?

[@komsomolec1]

Should the new shock strut be pulled up/down several times before the installation?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your question! Yes, before installing the new strut it is necessary to pump it up by pulling the rod up and down a few times. Best Regards, Autodoc Team
