    How much tork does the impact have ? A 400 nm impact is strong enough to do the job ? Thanks

    - Others have mentioned: Replace the boot, it is there for a reason.
    - Everything is covered with oil, at least wipe it off.
    - You transferred quite a bit of oil onto the brake disc. That can ruin your day if you don't clean it off.
    - The camber is off now, at least you do not seem to mention that it has to be adjusted afterwards.
    - Tighten the wheel lugs in a cross-pattern.
    - No word about torques whatsoever.
    Sorry mate, but this is some sloppy backyard style work. It make me sad to see, especially from somebody who works on cars/equipment of customers. You can do better.

    Alte Domlager gelassen, keine neuen Faltenbälge, was ein Pfuscher.

    Your boot is missing there, it should come off of the plate and a new boot installed or the new strut won't last long.

      3 years and 65,000 miles later its still fine. No boot available anywhere at the time

    Have you done the drivers side yet? Is it harder?

      @ORileysAutos  3 роки тому

      Not yet. Possibly have to move some parts inside like the accelerator pedal

      @derek876544 it was an emergency so didn't mind if I had to replace it again. Almost 3 years ago now and it's still fine. 👍🏻
