Very helpful video thanks excellent for the DIY mechanic. My 207 did not have standard nuts and bolts to remove the ball joint from the end of the support arm (2.48), so i had to remove the single bolt from the clamp holding the top of the ball joint and hammer it out driving a wedge in between the support arm and the clamp.

@@autodocuk im not the same guy, but for example on my Peugeot 207, where the ball joint is, it doesn't have nuts/bolts that can be undone with a spanner/socket wrench etc
Factory arms have riveted ball joints, to replace them you must remove them and you can install aftermarket ball joints as in this video. You can remove and install strut without removing ball joint. Remove cv joint and lift strut, after strut is out abs cable and brake hose will be around it, dont try to pull out bottom side of strut first, put it down near strut seat to make more space for abs cable and brake hose, then pull out strut top side first. It is not shown how mechanic payed attention to the top caps of struts, they have specific form and they must be inserted back in place correctly. Video also dont contain any usefull information about spring installation, spring is not symetrical and must be inserted in specific place on strut, it makes it almost impossible to install these springs with bolted spring compressors.
My ball joint doesn't have nuts as in the video. I had difficulty slotting the base of the strut into the hole. I had to disconnect the ball joint. Also, when fitting the strut, there is a small lug at the back of the strut that must be aligned with the split in the clamp, otherwise the strut won't drop into place. I had difficulty refitting the ball joint, since it is fix. Eventually, I managed to fit it by prising the wishbone down with a crow bar and aligning the joint with the hole. I found aligning the joint was easier when using the crow bar on the door side of the strut.

Good 👍👍👍
Why dont you spray the wheel side and not the disc to stop overspray of the copper grease ?
Thank you for your valuable clarification, we will definitely take this into account in the next videos.
AUTODOC
Why is the top mount off centre when he done up the last nut.?????
It is not possible to answer your question unambiguously.
At 10:41 the top mount is clearly not aligned into the hole where it should be seated, the strut needs aligning correctly.
👍🙏
How to change a shock turned into how tf do I put this hunk of French poo back together
NO more fck 207 1.6 vti!
Using the old nuts very safe 👌 Typical mechanic dont give a fuck about the car or the people that use it. Thats why i repair my car myself.
