⚠ Attention! This video contains a mistake:
6:12 - the tightening torque is 130 Nm, not 90 Nm.
We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Great job! I just watched it all. I can see you guys implemented all the suggestions made by the comments like Including torque specs. Great tips that are also good for GTI mk6 owners.

[@SeraiNephthys]

Odd choice to undo the inner joint on the lower arm rather than the outer, both work I guess. I personally avoid undoing those eccentric camber adjustment bolts unless absolutely necessary. I have also never seen anyone ever use copper slip on a wheel hub like that, any reason why this technique? Seems like the risk of pad/disc contamination is greater than the (negligible?) risk of the wheel seizing on the hub to me.

[@christopherkelly106]

You forgot to tighten the lower shock bolt with the vehicle was on the ground or the shock bush is going to wear out very quick

[@autodocuk]

Please specify the fragment time. The video shows how the lower shock absorber bolt is tightened.

[@pradeepmagan6951]

still waiting for b class spark plus

[@edstark44]

Can you reuse the rear shock mounts?

[@autodocuk]

We recommend changing the supports along with the shock absorbers

[@simonshotter8960]

You don’t need to take the control arm off, really long winded way to do this
