Passenger side is harder. But both are a pain to do. You have to disconnect the sway barrier link and push down the lower a-arm while moving the top of the shock to the firewall. It’s easier if you have someone to help a little. The rears are easier but the shocks are heavy. Wheatleys and oatmeal are required before rear shock removal. No a-arms were removed for the shock removal.
@@neverhalfthrottle I’ve watched several installs every one of them said the fronts was kinda of a bitch but loosing the sway bar links was key.. I just don’t want to remove the a-arms if I do that I’m getting high clearance do it all the same time.
Here is the ratchet as well. I used the 1/2” version www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M12-FUEL-12V-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-Cordless-1-2-in-Right-Angle-Impact-Wrench-Tool-Only-2565-20/312470635
Great video as always! I plan on getting some MTS springs for my X3. When you want to ride and test them out I’d like to join the fun
Send us an email and we can get you in the next ride, coming real soon.
MTS springs are great, I have them on my Pro R
Agreed. We have another Pro R in the group that will be getting the MTS treatment also real soon.
Ben and Eddie, this garage segment was absolutely SHOCKING!😆😆 Great work. I know Eddie can't wait to get out and put them to the test.

I'm camping at aoaa from April 1st to 22st. Come on up and roost. I'll meet ya at fro, or wherever
How does it ride I just ordered mine yesterday
This route changes frequently and we always have to find an alternate. We’re planning on doing this trip again this summer. You’re welcome to join us.
How hard was it to take the front shocks off? did you drop the A-arms at all ? I have a Turbo R same set up

what rear bumper is that?
What ratchet is that you used on the strut compressor?
Jack Tech SK-3000
@neverhalfthrottle no the ratchet you used on the strut compressor while the shock was on the car.
I had to go back and watch the video. Here’s a link. a.co/d/1brHe9T
