Whatever you do, don't take any notice of this video! If you force down the lower wishbone as in this video, you will damage the joints on the wishbone mounts!
This was not as easy as he made it look, but i got it done!
Good video ... but if you remove the lower ball joint that's in the knuckle you can remove the strut. No need to remove the knuckle with the strut that's the long way.. in the shop it's different... but good work
4:38 torx bolt that he removed in one second is not coming out after two days of hammering. Be warned: the rust weld is strong with this one.
Thank you for your comment!
If the bolt is not treated before installation then it will be soured due to corrosion, therefore they must be treated with a special spray.
Stay tuned with us!
Best regards,
Autodoc team!
@@autodocuk welp I pretreated the bolt for 3 days before and everyday afterwards. I would be hesitant to say that in all cases you can treat this bolt and have it come out. Gonna have to heat the knuckle and try to break that weld in some extreme cases such as this.
Thank you 🙏
Been working separating the knuckle and ball joint assembly for the past 2 days and still havent gotten it off. I wonder if if would be easier if I had a lift at the house
Is there no lower insulator needed at the base of the coil spring or did i just miss it?
It is not possible to answer your question, you can find this information in the technical documentation for the repair of your car.
Why didn't you just remove the strut from the knuckle? You unbolted unnecessary parts.
because it doesn't drop down far enough to allow you to remove the strut.
You are right, it could be that way. But for ease of the strut mounting the technician decided to remove it with the knuckle. Best regards, Autodoc.
Did u use new nut on the central shcok absorber mounting ? And put grease in there ? If u wont replace the nut there is high possibility the old nut will unscrew itself because that nut works with the turning of shock absorber. So u need always new central nut (at the top that holds shock absorber in the strut mounting) or if you dont have a new nut u need to use glue for screws. Remember ! It will destroy your mounting and even schock absorber if u wont replace it. I learnt it by mistakes.
Thank you for the feedback! The video is informative and shows only the general principles of the constitution and the operation of the car and it is in no way to be taken as a manual for repair and maintenance. All these procedures should be carried out. We appreciate you sharing your experience with us. Best Regards, Autodoc
I'm in the U.S. I went to your website trying to find springs. It showed you didn't carry them. Any suggestion on where to find them?
Thank you for the feedback! If you are interested in any spare part for your car, you can contact a specialist of our company. Best regards, Autodoc.
great vid. been using this to replace a broken spring on my x type. is there a particular orientation the spring/top mount need to go in order to re-fit? thanks :)
AgentsOfproduction were did you get the springs from? Been having a time finding them.
Brilliant, thanks for the professional Video No Yobbo speaking rubbish and exact directions and sizes of Sockets used a pleasure to watch.Fresh clean Workshop which most of us don't have unfortunately, I use a Coil Spring Clamp to compress the Coils, works Ok but your compression device a lot Safer ? Cheers Malcochevy
Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial will be helpful for you. Best regards, Autodoc.
A job and a half
You don't have torque specs? That's a joke, right?
You can find this information in your vehicle's repair documentation.
skipped over critical details on strut mount installation, need help here, thats why im watching
Very skillful mechanic, but the subframe must be lowered before to prevent damage against hydro bush of the lower arm, and final tightening of lower arm retaining nut and bolt should be carried out with the vehicle on its wheels.
Thank you for your feedback! You are absolutely right as for the final tightening of lower arm retaining nut and bolt that should be carried out with the vehicle on its wheels. Our next videos will definitely contain this important information. Best regards, Autodoc.
@@autodocuk You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that. Cheers!

What are the torque specs?
Unfortunately, we do not have such information.

I tried to replace my struts like the video on my X type 2003. However, the lower arm is spring loaded and next to impossible to disconnect the lower ball joint or to re-secure it. The video shows the lower arm as not spring loaded and easily pushed downwards. I finally had to lower the sub-frame to complete the job.
Thank you for the feedback! This video is considered to be an informative one, and it shows the sequence of repairs, without going into all the technical nuances. Best regards, Autodoc.
TOM GREGG > I have an 04 and I stated the same thing, when I tried to change out the wheel bearing assymbly it was (is) impossible to lower the are as seen in this video. now how do I now if it is spring loaded, do you have a pic of your 03 and if so are 03 and 04 the same setup.
I have the '03 and doubtful '04 would be any different and spring loaded like mine. After days trying to copy the video I ended up dropping the sub-frame. I don't what the guy in the video did to release the tension but no way it works like the video. That video cost me a lot of lost time.
Had the exact same issue. Even rented a spring compressor from autozone thinking that would fix the problem. Finally figured out the front bolt on the a-arm(the lateral bolt, not the vertical bolt) needed to be loosened to take the tension off. Much easier than dropping the subframe I'm guessing. Hope this saves someone in the future from having to deal with this problem!
Yes its like Scott says....remove the other 2 bolts on the Lower Control arm before attempting to disconnect the ball joint on the 2003 X-type. It's a bit of a pain.
You guys are life-savers.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
How good to see a tutorial that shows everything in unmistakable detail. Tools displayed to show what is to be used, subtitles to show spanner sizes etc, finger points at parts in question, operative keeps out of way of camera. So absolutely excellent that in my many years of looking at RUclips tutorials this is the first time ever that I have been compelled to leave a review. My only tiny complaint is that subtitles for torques as each nut or bolt is tightened could be useful.
Thank you for the feedback! Your opinion and ideas are very important for us. We are glad that our tutorial was helpful for you. Best regards, Autodoc.
Would have been nice to see above shoot of damper being put back on.
Can I suggest offing the idiot who came up with this design? What a royal pita just to change a strut, and it's not like they make loaded versions either. You have to buy each piece. You know (strut, cap, spring, bump stop, etc.)
Thank you for your feedback!
You are right, it is recommended to replace the shock absorber in a complex with support and a dustproof kit.
However, in our video, we tried to show only the replacement sequence and no more.
Best Regards,
Autodoc team.
You know you didn’t need to take the bottom part out will all the brakes and stuff attached to
Thank you for your attention to the details and advice, we will take this into account.

Hi there , do you know what would be good shocks for 95 Jaguar XJS 4L ?? Looking for something not to firm . Thank you ..
Thank you for your comment! We highly recommend that you contact our Customer Support agents ( info@autodoc.co.uk ) and you will get an advice on which car pats you need to obtain. We look forward to hearing from you! Best regards, Autodoc!
There's a pinch bolt on the back of the wheel hub, you do not need to take the wheel hub off and if you're replacing the shock you will need to loosen the pinch bolt anyway
Will the drive shaft move enough to get the shock out without taking the hub off?
can you make a video on replacing a wheel bearing on that same 04 jag X type
Thank you for the feedback! We are currently working on creating a wider range of tutorials including the car you mentioned. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.

Does the Jaguar in this video have the "subframe"?
Yes, it's the subframe. Best regards, Autodoc.
I've been told the top parts of my shockers have gone and need replacing, what are those parts called please so I can source them at a good price ? mines a 55 plate 2.0d , thanks 👍
Thank you for your feedback! Please provide tha chassis number of your vehicle and we will help you find the compatible spare parts on the optimal price / quality ratio. Best Regards, AutoDoc.
Probably spring insulation or strut mounts
Hi, I have a jaguar x type 2.5 2003. I have been trying to open the top part of my front shocks but it has been next to impossible as the top nut keeps rotating with shockup. Any ideas please. Thank you.
How can you fix cruise control unavailable on Jaguar X type 2003?
Thank you for the feedback! We strongly recommend you to visit a specialized car service center. Best regards, Autodoc.
You can replace the velocity rings on the half shafts-
Typically they are corroided and cakes with grime that prevents the wheel speed sensor from detecting the speed of the vehicle.
Try replacing ring, cleaning it or replacement of half shaft along with speed sensor- eventually they’ll all have to be replace so shop around and wrestle some wrenches to make it easier on your bill fold.
Check out Scott F's reply
Please pay attention to the video, everything is shown there.
We did not touch the sub-frame. We disconnected everything from the steering knuckle and unscrewed the shock absorber with the shock absorber support from the body. The subframe and levers and stabilizer remained on the car.

Totally unrealistic and will damage the metalastic joint! This guy is probably a carpenter - but definitely not a mechanic!
Why do not use torque wrench？
Thank you for your feedback! To save the time in the video. In practice the torque wrench should be used. Best Regards, Autodoc.
