I like your approach to carrying out this type of work by yourself. However there is one thing I would like to clarify: the height of the car, respectively from the rear, depends on the condition of the springs and the silent blocks placed at their top and not on the shock absorbers. If you think your car is not at the right height, this is where you need to take action. Thanks for the video.
That's great to know. I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the comment. Do you have to remove the springs to get to the silent blocks? How difficult are they to replace?
Yes, you have to remove the springs. It's not difficult ias long as you have the special spring compressor for this task. This is made of two disks that are inserted between the coils of the spring and that are connected with a threaded rod. You will find a demonstration in video on the channel of Mike Mercs (@MikesMercsandothercars in 2020 I believe). Without this tool it is potentially dangerous.@@sophiathe380sl
@@sophiathe380sl Hey friend this Guy , i talked to you last time about my 380 sl front frame problem , i got a used one from texas , i need to know if your mechanic can help me put it on please my guy has some family problem out of town . i'm in inland empire (Upland)
Congrats on the new purchase and welcome here! I’ve been making all kinds of videos if you’d like to work on some of the easy stuff. Get the chain and guides looked at by a mechanic. Look at the rubbers on the front subframe. Good luck!
Thanks for tips in your video. This will be my next project. Winter is coming to Boise, and that gives me 6 months of garage time. How are your A-pillar and door seals. That is on my radar for this winter too.
