Fair warning to anybody planning on doing a DIY replacement, there’s a good chance that the bottom bolts on each side are super corroded so be ready to use some man power to get them out.
Here’s a good tip and I just encountered, make sure you have a Jack stand on the subframe inner for the car, put a 21 mm wrench, and use your Jack to cheat it out
You are right, the catalog torque is 150 Nm + 180 °. Thank you for your attention to the details. We made a mistake in the credits. Unfortunately, we cannot change them, but we will add information to the description. AUTODOC
Good video, thanks. But the rear wheel is mounted in reverse. Switched the wheels, the tires have a rotation direction, not all but the one in video seems to be mounted in reverse.
In general, the replacement will be similar, the only thing that may be slightly different is the design features of your car. More detailed information can be found in the technical documentation for repairing your car.

Hi. I have an audi a4 b8. My rear right bump stop is broken. Does a worn out bump stop make the car bounce up and down constantly at speed between 10 and 40mph? Thanks.
Hello two questions in one 1) Before you torque down the shock absorber to, I believe, the wheel bearing housing, do you jack to obtain a distance from the top of the wheel arch to the center of the wheel or is it to slightly take it off that corner support of the two post lift? 2) Could one doe the final torque using ramps? Essentially torque the shock mount, lightly tighten the shock absorber to the housing, put the wheels on, reverse onto ramps and then torque to spec for the shock to the housing. Thank you!
1) Jack up the suspension till it lifts the car off the axle stand and then torque down any bolts that go through rubber bushings, in this case the bolt that bolts the shock absorber to the wheel bearing housing. 2) Yes you could also do your torquing on ramps since the only reason you jack up the suspension to do the final torques on bolts that go through a bushing is to simulate the car being on the ground. So either option is suitable.
@@georgimatev6377 search a video on RUclips titled “understanding bushings” it’s very informative and I believe it was the first video that made me understand why they need to be tightened when the car is on the ground or when the suspension is under load. They scrub All the bolts to clean them and help them thread back in easier and they use the copper grease everywhere to prevent future seizing of bolts so it is not difficult to remove if necessary in the future. Making the job easier for the next mechanic.
Use the Wheel Hanger tool to hold the wheel as you undo it, and re-install it. Undo the top bolt, screw in the hanger, then remove the rest of the bolts. No worries about your wheel falling off.
Can someone provide part numbers for the driver socket and the shock absorber socket ? I can't find them on Autodoc and i've emailed them but no help.Pause the video at 3:22.

Is that torque 84nm correct for large lower bolt? Many other search is showing 150nm plus 180 degree turn. That's a big difference.
You are right, the catalog torque is 150 Nm + 180 °.

Beautiful work 👍
Is the shock absorber socket a necesairy tool, or can i use a normal socket for this job?
Its painfull without.
The size of shock you put on this saloon got the same one 20lt tdi 2013 cnt find size please size on current shock 8k0 035AM
Good video, thanks. But the rear wheel is mounted in reverse. Switched the wheels, the tires have a rotation direction, not all but the one in video seems to be mounted in reverse.

Would this be the same procedure for a 2016 (B8) VW Passat SEL?

Torque correct for Lower Bolt is 150NM + 180” with preload of the suspension

I don't understand why they do this, along with scrubbing and wd40-ing every bolt. Really weird.

Just use vise grips on the flat and a ring spanner around the nut
Would the same procedure apply to S4?

I am being charged 1500 Namibian dollars about U$ 100.74 for the same job, is it fair?
You forgot to put toothpaste on the brush.
why are you promoting so fiercly wd-40? Are they paying you ? There are truly efficient and cheaper sprays out there.
can you share with us which one?
