    Love your tutorials. Professionally filmed and edited so very easy to follow. Wondering why you don't add torque values for tightening of components.

    • @autodocuk
      @autodocuk  Před 2 lety

      Unfortunately, it is not possible to clarify the tightening torque, this information can be found in the technical documentation for the repair of your car.

    • @raymondharper
      @raymondharper Před rokem

      80NMs. The road wheel should be placed on the ground before the arm is tightened up.

    How do you know that the lower suspension arm need to changed?

  • @jeffclements2254
    @jeffclements2254 Před 2 lety

    Great video, you make it look simple! Quick question: should you put the wheel on before torqing the bolts? Thanks

    • @autodocuk
      @autodocuk  Před 2 lety +1

      Before tightening the lever bolts, you must install the wheel and lower the car to the ground, the bolts must be tightened under load.

    hi, can you tell me why the large bolt is slotted? and if there is a certain way it should be fitted? thank you

    • @RothBeyondTheGrave
      @RothBeyondTheGrave Před 2 lety

      They're camber/castor bolts. The placement of the bolts adjusts...you guessed it....the camber & castor.
      I don't think they're all fitted with these bolts.

    Will be required a wheel alignment after this work? Or didn t affect that?

    • @autodocuk
      @autodocuk  Před 2 lety

      Yes, it is recommended to make an alignment adjustment after this replacement.

    Hi there and thanks for the video. What is happening at about 3:50 on the vid. What was "compressing" the suspension? Thanks

    • @autodocuk
      @autodocuk  Před 8 měsíci

      The mechanic lowers the hydraulic strut, with the help of which he simulated the working position of the suspension when tightening the chassis.

  • @alpha-ne4fq
    @alpha-ne4fq Před rokem

    Hi! Is it mandatory to jack up the suspension when you tighten up the bolts?

    • @autodocuk
      @autodocuk  Před rokem +1

      It is recommended to tighten the bolts when the car is mounted on wheels, in this case we simulated the working position of the suspension with a hydraulic suspension.

  • @markaltosmith7871

    I noticed the inner hole was elongated, assuming for adjustment. Does anyone know how to set this up ? It must affect the camfer

    • @autodocuk

      It is recommended that the wheel alignment be adjusted after this replacement.

    I've never seen copper grease before, what is that for?

    • @autodocuk
      @autodocuk  Před 3 lety +4

      Thank you for your comment!
      Copper grease perfectly protects against corrosion and sticking of parts operating at high temperatures, thereby facilitating further dismantling during subsequent replacements.

    But it looks like low control arm not front one.

      The lower rear arm of the front suspension is shown in the video.

    I’ve heard you don’t want to tighten it all the way until it’s back on the ground

      He raised the wheel hub which has the same effect.

    • @danielstone6228
      @danielstone6228 Před 6 měsíci

      Why is it that you have to tighten it with the suspension pushed up or with it on the ground
