[@bro44444]

Awesome

[@Mark2790]

You put the lower bolt for the shock in backwards. When you removed the nut, it was from the rear. When you put it back, it was from the front. Not sure it makes any difference though. Good video and saved to my favourites.

[@autodocuk]

Hi! Thanks for your comment. You are absolutely right, but in this case it does not matter.

[@rayash201]

leave bottom shock bolt loose until the car is back on the ground, with the car resting on the suspension.. you will twist the bush tightening it up in the air.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your advice, we will take it into account in the next videos.

[@grbeiz]

Very informative video. But there seems to be an issue on the tightening info shared.. screen says a number while the typing on screen shows another value.. its confusing to know how much we should tighten the bolts..

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment!
You are right, we made mistakes in the credits, we are already working on this and will try to prevent this from happening in new videos.
Best Regards,
Autodoc team

[@petercalma1806]

What the stand you use for the spring and shocks called?

[@autodocuk]

[@joevallance9292]

When I jack up the lower control arm it doesn't line up, so it ends up lifting the car. Is there a way I can avoid this do it lines up?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment!
Please clarify or rephrase your question.
Best Regards,
Autodoc team.

[@joevallance9292]

[@larryseaman5185]

Very helpful video but the music is SO repetitive and distracting!

[@emerykrauzer4741]

i replace for my car toyota prado front oem shock strut but the car seem high from front and sorry for my english

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your request.
According to the description, it is difficult to understand how to solve your problem, but it is probably the case in the rear springs, they could sag a little.
However, we recommend contacting the service of your car where you will be assisted and diagnosed and informed exactly what the problem is.
Best Regards,
Autodoc team.

[@mohamedalihebboul2214]

You need to replace also the rear shocks with the same brand OEM.

[@toniogarcia5434]

Very informative video you have.. Can you do me a favor on how to make Prado 2" Lift while removing the Airbag and change to Coil.. Thank You..
