Without sounding negative cos it's a good video and very helpful, the video being 2 years old no MK5 golf is this clean or easy to dismantle, think the videos need to before realistic ie real issues and solution u can come across like rotten ball joint bolts, the suspension not coming out the pocket etc,

[matthewking]

Great video but there’s no way a shock absorber comes out that easy lol I’ve yet to come across one anyways

[JL-ggph]

Looks so easy...In real life was a F%^&$ing nightmare, both sides. All bolts difficult to remove, strut not coming out of the wheel hub, ball joint bolts shearing off, strut mount bolts/nuts tearing out of the strut mounts, and rust frozen - very difficult to reach, strut not reinserting into the wheel hub easily.

Every video you make is amazing! I lobe the skill and professional in the videos at all times.

Does anyone know why some cars don't have a bottom spring rubber seat? Isn't metal to metal contact bad?

[selamwelekidan]

thanks for your service . absolutely professional job.

Hi guys, in South Africa the size of bolts, for instance the no. 18 used as a shock locknut are different, my golf has a no. 21 mm shock locknut. Is it possible that the xzn no. 12 might be different too?

[johnjimmers]

why would you not replace the strut bearing while your in there..

[obiitom]

I've heard the hub bolt into the axle is a one use only stretch bolt that needs to be replaced and then requires 200nm and a 180° turn?

If I want to replace a broken spring can I just remove the strut from the bottom arm and slide the new spring in place or do I have to remove the top mount as well?

[Philippositivity]

How long does it take, what is the cost for a garage to charge for this ?

[doctorsatansrobot]

I need to replace a spring... OMG all that has to come apart just to get the strut out?

[docgramps]

Good video but that subscribe bit 2 mins in is obnoxious. Sorry.

[williamatkinson]

You might want to inform your mechanic that if a torque wrench clicks straight away then the bolt is over tightened using the air fed impact gun, a couple of bolts in this video clicked straight away after he put them in with the impact gun
