You make this look so easy! I have had multiple friends look at my B8 and say nope as soon as they look at those arms at the top of the knuckle and thinking of removal, getting them back in place. After watching this, I am finally going to bite the bullet and do it myself. Thank you!
Also put the bolts through the wrong sides of those upper control arms always always put them in backwards so that way its an easy job next time u gotta change ur blown out bushings
16:18 You don't tighten the control arm bolts until the car's suspension is at ride height. You compress the suspension with a jack under the lower ball joint to where it would be at ride height then tighten. I bet the bushings in those upper control arms failed within a month.
This is the equivalent of a silent movie, there is little to no information here.. although a good presentation of the work required.. but it doesn’t apply to anyone east of the Rockies and north of Tennessee for a 10 yr old car with 100k on it .. that upper pinch bolt was a joke
Decent video. You must be in dry climate as that pinch bolt looked too easy. Also I noticed you ordered a pre-assembled strut..those are really poor quality.
I wonder if it’s possible to just remove the strut with lower mount, I put my engine and subframe back into the car but haven’t installed the struts back yet
How was the shock so far ? I’m thinking to replace the same too but I never hear about this band before. I have a really bad experience with no name band before. Kinda scared
Esos brazos hay que apretarlos con el.coche abajo y después se le mete el.gato para hacerlos en cuando el coche está trabajando vale si lo haces así los rompe antes
@@suedereed7630 The suspension needs to be at ride height. You compress the suspension with a jack under the lower ball joint to where it would be with the car on the ground then tighten to spec. But when you see a guy using ratchets as hammers, you know this all important step was not performed.
