I'm using your video for a mounting comparison of some Bilstein B4 (or Sach too) shock absorbers which got the black plate in the air about a fifth inch away from the base, Also, the top nut was on the face of the shock shaft . Can these two situations be normal?
Thanks for the support you can provide

I don't know about cars but when my mom wanted to change her front tires coz the left tyre and rim were big and it was rubbing on the inner fender(searched it right now😅) thing and shock thing/arm thing you changed the smaller tyre stopped spinning and they changed it multiple times and it didn't work but when we put back the bigger one I think it's a 19 inch rim it works the others don't, what might be the problem I don't know and the tyres keep going flat what might be the problem ???
Car is a w203 c200
Nice video! How can i recognize that does my w203 have sport suspension or regular. So I know which type of shock to buy?
Shock struts are identical for both normal and sport suspension, only the spring is different
Great. How can i get this spring comprossor tool.

Hi i am from india and love watching your videos❤️
I have some doubts and need an expert advise.
My car details:
Suzuki Swift VDI 2017 MODEL TYPE 2 1.3 L diesel
Kms driven : i have driven 90000kms
Replacements related to shock absorbers: only a bush in front side at 40 k kms in showroom
Issue : my car is gradually increasing the body roll and suspension becomes more bumpy and hard. when given for mechanics and in service center they told me that suspension are not worn out but efficiency may be less.
In efficiency test results in service center: it was fine and they told me taht if its greater than 15 % your suspension is having problems.
Tyres used : (upsized ) yokohoma 205 /55/r15 and pressure used in 32 psi in all wheels.
What May be the reson for this side by side body roll ? In irregular roads . Its worsening day by day and travel with my car is now a headache and i am having backpain.
I checked all suspension for leaks and not found
Do i need to replace suspension to get it back to previous condition like brand new? Or do i need ro sell this car?
I can ahare you pictures of car suspension etc if you need . Can u please help me.
Your mail id? / WhatsApp?
Thank you for contacting us.
Unfortunately, without a proper diagnosis of the suspension, it is difficult to say something.
First of all, check the condition of the springs with shock absorbers.
If you remove everything in order, go to the stabilizer rods and look at the hinge joints for play. The problem most likely lurks in this.
Best Regards,
Autodoc team
@@autodocuk ok.
What could be the challenge after you had changed the suspension, then the vehicle starts to see swerve
It is recommended to adjust the camber/toe-in on a special stand after working with the car's suspension
Alignment
U are wrong after i check per EWA, ARSA Wis the ring ' Nut to piston rod ' is 20NM (Not 60NM ' and Nut Rebound stop to piston rod must be 60NM , they all wrong to over tighted from 20NM to 60NM for But to piston rod, i am lucky stoped at 30NM & feel some not right until got Wis Open follow instruction per Wis BA32.25-P-1009-01B state torque is ONLY 20NM, i think mine nut ring is crack will order new one later but ,an this dangerous they try post video without to do it right & aslo ' self locking nuts & bolts lower & upper steering knuckle must be torque at for Stage 1 at 100NM & stage 2 angle for 90 degree
Yes, you're right, it will be useful for us. Thank you for your attentiveness.
19mm bolts are 110 Nm.
why are both sockets marked 14x2.5mm? what is the right size for that little socket?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to answer your question, you can find this information in the technical documentation for the repair of your car.
