Good video! For the passat b7, you don't need to unmount the track rod ball joint. If you do it should be tightened to 100 Nm, loosened (turned back) 180° and retightened to 100 Nm. Renew the nut. The 3 bolts on the swivel joint have to tightened to 100 Nm in case the suspension link is made of sheet steel or forged aluminium. 60 Nm is for cast steel. Also they need to tightened to torque when the vehicle is in unladen position (normal position of the vehicle). The nut tightening the strut arm to the wheel bearing housing must also be renewed. The tip of the bolt must always face the direction of travel.

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make and post this. It helped me out a lot; especially with all the torque specs you provided.

Should probably mention the wiper nuts are left hand thread!
I learned the hard way 😭

[mackeymichael]

Thanks KYB Europe i learned the right procedure to to this.

[marko_._]

Any ideas how to get the bolt off 2:00 if it is like totally stuck?

[sNstRflyEr]

You took off the entire wheel assembly to change the struts lmao, that is so rediculous it's beyond words. Anybody watching this please don't do what this guy just did, it's absolutely insane, and uncalled for.

[digger]

Can you tell me what the name of the tool is called at 1:23,

[gerolddo]

You don't have to separate the track rod, at all.
The ball joint would be enough to do this job.

[saleirinho]

which tool used to release the shock ? min 2, 15

[stop]

is there any serial/part number on the top mounting kit? bought one on Ebay and not sure if it's genuine

[kumilekkocot]

have you done wheel alignment after all. ?

[adamwhite]

To sNstRflEr: Yes you have to do it, otherwise the shock won't fit in!! It's the right procedure!

[fastnfuriousu]

[williamashton]
