Front shocks replacement (Mac Pherson). 

This is one of the best, no BS and helpful videos I've ever seen, No moronic music or chit-chat. Do more !!!

No air tools, no shop vice, not even a work bench. You still got it done in record time. You don't even seem nervous when using the spring compression tool. Nice work!

Nicely showed how to do it. Good work. Single person can also do this. You showed it. You have good skills.

Most people dont have air/power tools. Thanks for giving an informative to the point video for us shade tree folk who might have to do this away from those sources.

Wish all instructional vids were this speed, could have saved hours in school.

Thanks, I wasn't quite sure how much to compress the coil, thanks for your help. My shock was gone and I had to overcompress it because it wasn't rebounding. Once the spring loosened off of the end caps, I removed it, the new one stuck through almost 2 inches. I could've released the end nut sooner but I didn't realize that I was over compressing the coil. Live and Learn. God Bless you.

Very helpful video for new mechanics and hobbyists , its clear, no background music . Thanks a lot.

Wooww you do it manually ...NO AIR GUN , NO ELECTRIC USE , AND NO POWER USE ...GREAT ...! T.Q FIR THE VIDEO ...! regards from kuala lumpur ...!

First video Ever I have watched without one word used and completely understood! Great job

great stuff michael.as last some body who just gets on with it .no talking for 15 mins before starting to show how to do it.i have subscribed to you page.looking forward to seeing the other things you show me.thank you.

One of the most detailed videos I have ever seen. Buying 2 shocks with springs is over $400. Thats compressor saved me money without the spring I only paid 57.50 a piece for the shocks and 55.00 for that same compressor you used.

Literally every video for the front everyone does something differently but u didn’t even talk and I understood it clearly and I’m confident to do in on my own ty good sir

thank you for the way you produced this video!! no heavy breathing, no mundane comments, sped up when just nuts and bolts...great job and informative too!!

Good job, worth watching. Nice to see it done without expensive tools, just healthy respect for the balance and power of that spring. I think I'll take my ring off when I do this.

A very peaceful and relaxing strut replacement video to watch while listening to the birds, thanks for posting.

The best tutorial video and also a lot tips. I learned a lot from this tutorial. now im able to repair my own car and also to share my videos with all you.

You did not talk, but you explained very well. Thank you for the video.

No useless chatter, intro or annoying background music-right to the meat and taters. Great video! My old 93 Escort is pulling to the left with inside LF tire wear so I'm thinking I might have a busted spring. These cars refuse to die if you give them a little TLC now and then. Gave $700 for mine over 5 years ago, best buy I've ever made.

LOL quite funny to watch you struggling with that center nut. What you do is to loosen it from the top whilst it is still on the car and whilst the 3 bolts are still holding it for you. You half undo it before taking the strut off, then it is simple to unscrew the rest of the way when on the ground. Over wise it's a really great video.

I love your bird's sounds at place and Renault 21 off course. Respect from Turkey

I love work I can watch it all day long.

From 2:50 to 2:56, inspection of the supplied instructions, I laughed out loud, thank you, needed that

Thanks for this tutorial! Gonna work on my shocks/struts this week. I like all these mechanic helpful channels. I appreciate people like you for taking the time to set up these vids :-)

Best video I have seen of compressing the coils truth be told I was too scared to do it myself but now that the rear struts on my car are done for I'll give it a go.

Love it..... No words, just works.....

Great video and job. I would've changed the dust cover and the other rubber parts while I had it apart because they don't cost that much and I wouldn't want to take it apart a couple of years later to replace those. If it's not your car or you don't plan on holding it for much longer than that may be an acceptable route to take. My preference for installing a tire is to tighten the bolts as much as I can by hand before setting the car down then standing on the wrench for the maximum tightening after. Good job and you are quick considering all you had to work with is hand tools. Great work.

Excellent, straight forward, no nonsense. Well done.

Great video. Even easier to follow than written out directions. I'm about to do this on my Saab for the same reason you did yours. Shocks and shock mounts are trashed. Looking forward to the better handling.

Thankyou, this will help my father out on changing the struts on our vehicles.

Very good video. As everyone else is saying, very straight to the point. Thanks a lot!

This is exactly what I looking for long time! Thanks for the great work!

THANK YOU for this video. I have a caddy cts and none of the videos I found showed this part in detail.

One of d best part f dis video is silence.... Nice work

Thank you,i'm happy to read that it's easy to understand : ) I really felt the difference of handling on mine. They wear out so progressively that you don't realize it if you drive the car often. It's like the frog in the boiling water...

Perfect job. Every detail clear and understandable.

Thank you guy I wish I had the nerve like you to do it like that great job

Gotta change mine tomorrow this video just made me very confident 😉

Nice Work Man ,,

Great video. Not to long. Not to slow. Very amusing! Well done. Good job 😉👍🇪🇸.

Haha...great video . I was watching thinking back to the very first time I decided to replace the struts in my 1969 Datsun 510 coupe. I was 15 years old, bought it off my friends dad..had blown engine....I changed the engine and took the struts out to change the "shocks"...well I just decided to take that top nut off, with out using a spring compressor....I almost died. When I reached the last few threads....it blew up in my hands....hehehe......luckily it was facing away from me. I never found the ratchet or socket ..lol !! It blasted into the woods along with the bearing. The spring was about 200 feet from me. I'll never forget that day...lol I was young and stupid. But I learned...I got my license and drove that car everywhere..I miss those days..haha...Matt.

Dangerous move leaving the hand in between the springs, but a lot of us in the moment forget cuss we just wanna finish the job

I bet it rides better now! Nice job!

Hi ,good job my son does this kind of work you made it seem easy.,but as a mom I would of saying becarful becarful with your hand and the spring.,Godbless and thankyou for the video.🙏❤️

I’m ready! To deal with the struts this weekend. Thank you

owesome job I now have a clue on how to do that.

I admire you faith in those clamps... even knowing that you finish the job without losing your fingers, watching is painful. Great job but if you've ever had a spring slip the compressor you'll know what I mean...

Yes it is great to see someone do work and not bore you with their evaluation of the topic. Also it is nice to see a mechanic that undesrtand physics too.

This has been an excellent video clip! Thank you for sharing it.

WHOA" You don't want to show up at the emergency room wearing one of these, Hands clear @ ALL TIMES !

I Like the Benny Hill action ))

Make it look so easy 👍 thanks for sharing!

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it!

Ótimo! Great!!

At 5:42 that nut center nut that holds the strut to the strut support bracket should be removed while the car is still on the ground. And lug nuts also should be loosened while car is still on the ground

I enjoy your vids keep them coming

Straight foreward ! Nice and fast !

There was no external leak. They were 22 years old and had 140 000 kms. The new ones changed the handling radically : )

I've done this before it was a nightmare I did it with old style spring compressor used 4 it was first time on Altima but it's easier in my e39 than L31 was afraid and Iam saying when I'll finish from this thing and what Iam involved in :(

Super clear process with out a single word, excellent

Great video in detail ,thank you so much.👍🏻

The wife is going to be pissed about the sheets!

Excellent video. Please take your rings off, you might deflesh a finger. Loosen your lug bolts while the car is on the ground. Final tighten on the ground too. Good job!

The fast-forward dove was a fun distraction. This is a great video. Subscribed.

Franchement ses vidéos me rends encore plus fort dans le domaine de la mécanique auto

Hi Yes, i have safety hooks...i didn't use them but it's stupid. For the spacers you need to press the springs just enough to be able to insert the spacer and install the nut on the top of the shock. Compressing the spring completly is unnecessary i think.

Why do you use a Vice grip before removing the top nut on the strut?

Nice video. Love the part you cleaning a little. Most mechanic won't do that. They just didn't care to put extra cleaning.

Very useful vedio regarding shocker replacement , Nice 👍

Yea they got complete stuts now😂✌

if u haven't noticed that he had to pull on the new strut to go up isn't it suppose to go up on its own???

MOLTO MOLTO MOLTO bravo. Semplice ed essenziale. Davvero complimenti.

Great video. Simple and straight forward. Thanks

Good ! So,how is your setup ? is the handling improved ?

ever heard of latex gloves? good video though

I love watching this video..in 2 weeks my car need the same job...muchas gracias.

Found this clear and useful.Thanks.

I think you should loosen the big nut at the middle that holds the top plates and the rod while the strut is still in the car...

The concrete smashed the parts!

Nice video, very practical and well demonstrated 👍👍

ON POINT.....No talk..just action........will be changing mines tomorrow

Merci ,but I'm pretty affraid of my coil compressors ,buyed from ebay ,made in china :)

nice job, good how-to with this video I m shure to change my front springs in a day or less

Thank you for this video, really help me to change my front shock breaker, I hope you always make video like this. Thanks sir
