    Those swivel to strut bolts are Torque to Yield and thus need to be replaced after being disturbed

    Crap.... This is dangerous to say the least to stay directly on top of the strut while undoing the coil retainer nut... This is a big NO NO !

    Good vid but 1 criticism is with it being a how to video you probably should of covered using the spring compressors even know u didn't need to as sadly you'll get people who just undo the top nut

      @@GeorgeAusters yh that's the issue sadly people do it and they can kill when they let go it's more the spring that does the damage

    I think you have put te spring upside down. the basis of the spring is a little bit larger then the upper side....but nevertheless the spring will has his function. Greetings.

      The springs were put on the same way they came off👍🏻

    Solid job! Doing the rear next week. One is totally weared out. Bang bang on every bump on the road. Problem is that you get used with bad shocks and adjust your driving piece by piece so you think it's okay anyhow. Then you change and realise how bad it was. Well done!

    Some struts are having really strong spring coils. Removing the retainer nut while being on top of it.. would be a fast trip to ER.

      It’s why you use spring compressors, or compress the spring yourself as shown in the video👍🏻

      If they were the standard size maybe, these here are lowering springs

    Hey mate, how is the suspension doing so far (front + rear)? I'm thinking of replacing both front and rear suspension on my Corsa C since it's behaving like a BOAT 😂
    Is it worth it overall, is the difference that big? Thanks.
