Thanks for posting this. However, please be aware that the high tensile bolts are likely to be seized in the aluminium wishbone. I tried using an airgun, propane torch, and ultimately had to resort to drilling and then chiseling them out. Not a 15 minute job, or for the faint hearted. Just so people are aware.

Thanks for this video. Was barely able to make my front shock changed with the help of this. Only thing that *really* needed some brute force and effort was the bottom bolt for the shock (top bolt for the fork), as it was utterly and absolutely stuck. Like completely stuck. 12 hours labor, but I did it. Tomorrow, the other side... :-D

What is the copper grease for i mean help for something?

[@autodocuk]

Hi. Copper grease has properties such as reducing friction. Prevention of rusting, sticking and seizing. Reducing wear and tear.

[@albanycuse]

Do you need to do an alignment now?

[@howabout2138]

For shock absorbers or springs that are replacement for oem parts no

[@alexey9900]

Good 👍👍👍

[@jirischindler7958]

Does this car have lowered springs? Or why are they red? :)

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your attention to the details.
You are absolutely right, this car has lowered springs with 30mm.
Best Regards,
Autodoc team.

Видео о том, какие детали нельзя ставить! Пыльник полное дерьмо, лучше старый оставить, чем такой новый. И что важно, не заменили опору амортизатора у которой одна из шпилек уже с зализанноой резьбой! И амортизатор не прокачал. Короче, дерьмо полное.
