thanks for the video, i bought my spring off ebay and it wasnt a bmw original, i had problems at the rear end i.e. the ball and socket end. the socket end of the spring was slightly different to the original in that it had a small piece of spring steel on one side presumably to make it more secure and stop it popping off when in use. i found it impossible to push the spring onto the ball in situ and was going to give up but noticed that the ball was actually threaded into the bodywork of the car and was quite easy to remove. i used pipe pliers to then clamp the spring socket end and the ball together and it popped in ok, i used grease on the ball and socket and put a spare nut on the thread of the ball to protect the thread.(it would have been much easier with a vice but i dont have one at the minute) , it was then quite easy to install the spring and screw the ball end back into the body and its working fine, cheers derek
good video bro. Just done mine. Works a treat. Only issue I had was the lower end of the spring I couldn't get it onto the round ball like connector without giving it a couple of wacks with a hammer 👍🥂 Works a treat!
@@NGCH77 hey it should be similar. You should see similar clips for the left. I found a video showing how the left side should look ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vxhXhtCMzvg.html
