your a life save mate, took the middle bolt off the top shock mount because was following a C3 Coil spring replacement and spend hours trying to put it back on, now I know I just need to remove 3 bolt on the top mount 😅
Nice video and very learnful. Thank you for that| In my Fiat Qubo I have a 'bonking' noise when turning the wheel. When doing so, I can see that the spring doesn't rotate smoothly on the top mount bearing. So probably only the top mount bearing needs to be replaced. Is there a way to just unmount this peace and replace it without unmounting the whole shock absorber and spring? Or maybe I could try greasing the bearings without unmounting the top mounts completely?
Just bought one of these and has a new spring fitted , but one of the bottom coils had broken .. very easy to replace , but found the last person had fitted the top strut washer in the wrong place. Used cheap spring compressors, and had a sweat on whilst using them .

Super bon travail ! (Good job)
Wish I'd known that wiper removal "bang" technique. Struggled with an extractor for ages to get the bastard off.

Cheers thanks for that. Very useful information.
Hi
Would have changed the top mounts while doing that as they seem to do low milage
currently having to pau £350 for pair of top mounts to be sorted
