Great guide right there! I’ve got to do the rear shocks as well as the bushes so I now know that I can knock them both out at the same time! Love this collection of jobs for the Laguna. Have a 1.9Tdi myself but the jobs remain the same!!
Thank you for the comment and good to hear it helped.

Big thanks for your video. I will have to replace this part by myself and you explained very well all the process. Fortunately i have exactly the same car :)
Thank you for the comment and it's good to hear I may have helped you out. Good luck.

I made the change today of the both side. The bolt that was hard to remove has break into its place on the both side.... I saw it looks like 10.9 steel 9 diameter but font know the length. dont know how to remove too the rest of the bolt still in place..
@ Oh blimey, sorry to hear that. Mine was stuck in place as well and had to keep winding back and fourth to get it out. A snapped bolt isn't going to be fun to remove. Might be a case of drill the bolt out and use and ezi out thread remover. Sometimes lots of heat and penetrating fluid does it.
Thank you for that George. Hope the video helps. I did do the bushings again last year and made some video's on that. Might be more entertaining as things didn't go to plan very well. ua-cam.com/video/ZNva04lk_Gs/v-deo.html

Brilliant tooling skills just as filming. Incredible. Thanx. About to do this next week. Just wondering how to get around that bushing press tool. Forexample: Two robust cups, drill 2 holes in them and use a coil spring threaded removal kit, then with a gun you can aply 300Nm easily and literary shoot the old bushing out in a seconds...

I remember I had the same shock when I saw it and thought I don't have one of those sockets as it's not a torx. Its a standard 16mm socket with the 12 splines as apposed to the 6 sided 16mm sockets. It caught me this one.

Hi ! If is not too much can you tell me the diameter of the tool? I mean the big piece used for installation. May be I can convert to use on toyouta ..Many thanks !
Thank you ............"You never put the shock absorbers on jacked up! Just like the housing from the camp! You do everything when the wheels are mounted. Otherwise good video! "
Nice video. Very clear. Good video quality. Clear voice over. There is one remark. I think that you should tighten the nut (with the bearing underneath it), and not the bolt head. This will give you a much higher tension in the bolt, at the same torque. I have the impression that the axle bush not not seated completely, because of this error. I just saw that you do it in the right way here: ua-cam.com/video/U63esUjKLYs/v-deo.html
I know they are old cars now but I have done these twice and they have gone again it is disgusting Renault have never done a modification on these bushes as they are clearly made wrong and the failure rate unacceptable if this is Renault Engineering and customer care steer clear in future.
It's funny you say that as the original ones seem to last years but the replacements don't seem the same. Maybe the rubber has changed over the years and degrades quicker.

Somehow I missed your comment. Sorry. I think they have electrical gremlins but my wife loves Laguna's and to be honest they don't seem to rust and parts are cheap.

Hi great video but can you explain why you compressed the rear springs?
The spring will be forcing the damper apart making it a bit harder to remove. By compressing the spring it takes any loading off the bolts.
Great video, I don't even have a Laguna but maybe the Megane is similar :D
Thank you for that comment. Same company at least.
Wich wrench did you use to unscrew the long bolt that goes in the bushing?
Its not a normal 16 mm?

Amazing and well explained video, do you happen to know if the same process would work on a Laguna 3?
I’d be very surprised if they were different. A quick peek should confirm if they are the same by removing a rear wheel.
