Great repair work, as always! It's been many years since I have compressed a strut spring and rebuilt an assembly. I remember it being a very dangerous activity with all that power a car spring has, so it always required great attention to detail to ensure you're doing everything safely. I've had the good fortune of using a new car for the last 10 years and for all the friends I've helped with their cars, they were happy to use pre-assembled MacPherson struts. With everything now being older, it seems I'll be putting this old skill to use again, probably on the old KS4 Sambar that's new-to-me first.
Your work is excellent. I'm impressed you can buy only the mounting kit in Japan. Here, the availability is either the entire assembly or each part individually. Usually, if you find a mounting kit, it's often relatively expensive compared to a prepared suspension replacement for each corner.
The mounting kit used in this video is not a genuine Daihatsu product and was purchased at a reasonable price. I also like the method of replacing it with an assembly. Thanks for your comment.
Excellent combination of repairs brother. I thoroughly suggest changing the strut mount, bearing and bushing on the opposite side as well as they are both the same age.
Строго говоря, изменился развал-схождение, поэтому необходимо проверить и отрегулировать схождение колес. В данном случае я измерил только боковой провал, так как после пробной поездки особых проблем не возникло.
@@sugulemon Понятно что рулевая тяга от ступицы не отделялась и тут размер сохранился но процедура делается комплексно, да и для 25 летнего авто такая процедура не будет лишней.
The shock absorber is clearly worn out , shown when he was able to press the piston down with 1 hand easily, yet het doesnt change it.changes bumper bound upper strut mount etc i got the translation now, even with shock absorbers not leaking or catching they seem worn by atleast 80%
This is not necessarily true! Many of these are not designed to rebound, only to dampen. The fact that it's giving him much resistance as he tries to move it, plus the truck isn't showing the "endless bounce" effect tells me that these struts are still serviceable. I think it's just something particularly common in US aftermarket shocks & struts that they're all gas-charged to provide some rebound effect. Almost every OEM shock and struts I've pulled from a working-condition vehicle exhibited little-to-no rebound while handling it, even though the part functioned just fine while the vehicle was in operation.
