@@cristi16vs thanks man! I use a hose clamp snap ring plier
Great video as always! If I may ask where did you get everything else besides the shocks and springs (buffers, dust covers, etc.)
@@user-do2cz7xe3f thanks man!! I got most of the parts from shop alfisti
H&R springs are too low on brera on the front axle. The rear is a perfect height, but the front is slammed, which doesn't look good as there is big gap difference between the front and the rear. Eibach springs with bilstein shocks look and drive much better. The front is about 2cm heigher, just enough you get a flushed stance on front and rear arches.
bro wht is the name of the shop? where ddi you got that seats?

Nice work man! I love how you take car about these beautiful Alfa Romeo, and also you are inspiring!! 😊 I want to ask, did you bought some spacers to keep the car not too low!? I can see those metal pieces in your shocks, or is just packed with Bilstein? Thanks and keep going 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Wow that's a great video, very detailed and inspirational! BTW, just curious aren't the shock's fork supposed to be tightened when the lower arm is loaded (i.e. with the car's weight) so that the lower arm bushing is not stressed?

Hi, I would like to ask what brand of Upper control arms did you use? I have used firstly TRW, secondly LEMFÖRDER. But each after around 500-1000km started to make some crackling noise. The sound is not coming from the ball joint, but from the silentblock itself. It does this cracking noise when going over bumps on the straight road. What can cause this issue? I replaced the control arms 2 times in a row now. I set up the control arms in the same position as you when tightening the bolts. I tightened them to 70Nm. If you have any ideas, or you have encountered it yourself, then please share the ideas. Thanks!
@@Alex-xf7fe hi mate, I used Delphi in my upper wishbones in the 159 and they are perfect, no squeeking sounds. I did do an allignment after the install. For my Brera I now also have the same and so far so good. I do have to get an allignment. 🍀
You need to juck up the hub to the normal ride height (as when the car is on the ground) and then tighten them to the specified torque settings. You can measure the distance between the center of the wheel and the wing arch, while the car is on the ground. Then when you jack it up, lift up the hub so the distance is the same, and then tighten the bolts. Otherwise, the bushings will not last very long.
@@DashCamSerbia I did the same thing here. It started the crankling noise after 500-1000km. So I’m going to buy a new one again I think…
@@Alex-xf7fe Hmm. Where did you buy the Lemforder ones? And for how much?
@@Alex-xf7fe I can recommend the Delphi ones. I believe they are even recommended by Alfa Workshop in the UK.
Its refreshing to see how much you love your car.....😂😂😂😅
@@flyboya340 hahaha got that Alfavirus bro 🍀😂
He is much worse them me. My 159 does not look as good, although it is still in pretty decent condition. But I did spend 4.500 euros on it in a year, so... 😂 Although, 1.900 euros where just for the set of wheels and two set of tyres. Plus I was hunting for original parts all over the world. Have a new set of clutch as well...
is this possible with a alfa romeo 159 diesel?? do you have any videos ??
@@MrBluedude33 yes possible with diesel as well

Install a flash lube system to clean and lube the valves ❤
Fabulous car great engine but direct injected engines are just stupid the valves never get cleaned by fuel because of the direct injection into the cilinders after the valves of course You might use a flash lube system similar to gas injected engines lpg engines etc Great idea ❤
Yeah great idea, you should forward your idea to Alfa Romeo, tell them how to build a proper engine 😁👍
@@PieterthechiefmanPost well the busso engine is still a superb design The technology is there But all the great looking cars from the range 159, gt, brera all share the same problem being direct injected engines unfortunately Besides the superior 1.9jtd engines they are amazingly good besides some minor design flaws
How do you know both valves are fully closed without the cam cover off, do you just eyeball it or what? Thanks
@@marksmith3554 you can really see it when they are fully seated. And then, just to be sure you can also spray a bit of egr cleaner, if it doesn't flow away they are also fully closed.
@@939driver great, thanks for responding 👍

The Wizard Brera rear mufflers have no sound deadening material in them at all! when you pick them up, they are really light. I put an inspection camera inside mine and found they are empty! no glass fibre at all. At £1000 they are terrible value for money and still very loud.
@@michaelsharman8988 I can not complain, my exhaust setup is finally how I always wanted it to be with the Wizard back boxes and Supersprint mid silencer. And I bought my Wizard exhaust for only around €200 used. Polished them and they are looking like new

Beautiful interior.
ONLY 1 BOLT HOLDS ENTIRE DISK??
@@SayWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat yes, most cars only have 1 brake disc positioning bolt. The wheel bolts do the rest
@SayWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat That bolt is purely for alignment, you don't actually need it. It is handy for when you put the wheel back on though. I don't have them and usually have to fiddle a small amount to get it aligned with the bolt holes. The bit which actually holds the disk on is the 5 bolts, which go into the alloy, through the brake disk and into the wheel hub.
Perfect! Just what I needed. Needed to check what piston-tool is needed for the rear calipers. Also got a white 159SW. It is such a beautiful car.
@@esbjornandersson2733 thanks man! Beautiful car 🍀👌🏻🇮🇹
I will be doing mine this Saturday. The rear left brakes are binding a bit (when I spin the wheel and release it, it stops right away). And the discs are worn to zero. Plus I have a noise, that I thought was the rear wheel bearing, but it is just the worn discs with new pads (from previous owner). Does handbrake need adjusting afterwards?
Great work man, 💪 the handbrake does not need particular adjusting afterwards. Only if you have slack on the handbrake.
@@939driver Thanks. I am still yet to do it. I was just checking the condition. But in a few days, I will do the job.
@@939driver Did you had to bleed the air out of the system afterwards? Because I have just done the left side, and turned the engine on and pumped the brakes. But I think tge brake pedal feels spungy now. Not sure if the air had entered into the caliper when I was turning/pushing in the piston. :/
@@DashCamSerbia no I did not need to bleed the system when changing pads. Brake pedal was firm.
@@939driver I did the right side too now. I don't know man, it seems as the air has gotten into the system somehow. I mean, it now brakes like crazy in reverse, but forward I think worse.

😅che senso ha guardare 5kg di peso su' un' auto che né pesa 1600kg.... Cmq i pesi seri li togli semplicemente dal tetto, il vetro lì sopra pesa 35kg ... E sé monti cerchi R17 ultraleggera risparmi altri 20kg(25rispetto i 18/19pollici)... Poi anche i sedili anteriori pesano 25/27kg ciascuno, mettendo dei sedili in carbonio da 7/8kg bhe'... Facendo così ha più senso... ciaoooo
That is 2.5kg of unsprung mass per wheel, not mass of the vehicle. Unsprung mass (mass of the suspension) affects performance of the suspension. Lighter suspension has less inertia and will follow imperfections of the road quicker (the wheels/tyres will spend more time in contact with the road instead of in the air).
