Exactly what I wanted, and this is going to save me $165 (Oz money) rather than pay for someone to do it.
NO 'MUSIC'. NO TALKING! Brilliant video! Thank you!
Thanks for watching ! :)
Clearest demonstration i've seen
Thanks for watching !
The birds singing in the background are the best!! 😊😊😊
Thanks 👍
Fuck dem birds 😈😂
Another tip i found is to wire brush and clean where the spring fits top and bottom and then lightly smear a finger full of standard car grease along the mount positions before putting the spring back back in position ,this helps to stop any creaking noises as the spring bounces up and down in extreme cold or hot weather conditions .
I'm going to spray Lanolin there.
This might be 1 of the greatest how to videos I've seen THANKS
Thanks for watching ! 👍
The simplicity of this video is perfect. Thank you.
You're welcome, thanks for watching !
My trusted mechanic said the repair would cost £50! I just bought the car for 500 and have already spent £80 In repairs, this has saved me alot of money, Thanks!
You're welcome:)
Watch carefully. Learn study save urself hundreds n use gud quality tools gloves etc.
My mechanic fitted 4 lowering springs to my fiat Coupé for £80 he charged £50 to do the front macpherson struts and £30 to do the rear trailing arms... that was a decade ago so inflation has probably bumped prices up a lot since then but that's not a bad price... keep trusting your mechanic!
Man i just called to mechanic how much would it cost to replace spring on one side in Fiat Croma II he told me 235 euro.... spring costs 50....

Just demonstrating the process :)
Nice straight forward tutorial brother. Takes out the guess work. Kia Ora.

Great video and easier than I thought would be. I thought would need spring compressors lol
Thanks, yeah the rear springs are usually relatively easy to remove

Makes it look so easy. In reality, you’ll fight with every nut for HOURs, have to use a hack saw on the sway bar links, cuss out your wife, go to Home Depot and autozone a dozen times, ruin your pants, and bloody your knuckles.
Oh you've done this before then ? lol :)

Awesome the only thing I would do different is take the brake line loose from the bracket behind the brake drum and give yourself a little bit more Play to work with other than that excellent.
I wish the rear coils on my Isuzu Rodeo where that easy though
Thank you !. This is certainly one of the easier coil spring replacement jobs :)

Is it normal to have some difference when it comes to the wheel-to-fender gap? I have a 2017 Honda HR-V that I use as my daily and that I recently had suspension parts replaced (including tie rod ends, rack ends, lower control arms and ball joints, shock absorbers) and I only just noticed (after 7 years lol, not really sure if this was a problem before) that the left side has a shorter wheel-to-fender gap compared to the right side. The difference at the front is around 1/4 inch or 6.35 mm and the rear is around 1/8 inch or 3.175 mm from my measurements. For the record, the car rides relatively fine after the replacements.
Muy bien video
Thank you !
Thank you
You're welcome
Some rear springs have a fastener on the inside of the coil at the top. Can you do this by releasing the fastener at the top of the shock absorber too?
THANK YOU
You're welcome !
Excellent
Thank you !
Basic and easy to understand. Thanks.
You're welcome! :)

Very good video 🙌

One note: pull tigth the lower nut when the car is resting on wheels.
That looks so simple. My Hyundai Sonata 2009 totally different.
The Sonata is heavier and likely has a strut instead of separate coils and springs.
@@Dfm253 They are coil springs, not strut&shock combos, but the process for me was a bit different. The suspension appears to be more complex in my car than the Yaris. In the end I just removed the lower controller arm bolt from the wheel assembly, went up and down with the jack to release it from the wheel assembly and pulled out the spring then put the new spring in. Slightly different process but the spring came easy. 😊
Amazing
Thanks !
Thank You for this video ,just one point ,does the bolt need to be torque to spec ?
Thanks for watching. I thought I had put it in the description but I will now. The nut should be torqued to 49Nm (36 foot pounds)
Great video really clean you made it look easy, do you think i can release bolt from top of suspension as bottom bolt is seized up?
I'm not recommending you do it but it's probably possible. It would be a bit more difficult when you're jacking it back up and guiding the top of the shock absorber through the hole. If you're going to try it make sure the jack is taking the tension from the coil spring before you unbolt it from the top !
@@screwsnutsandbolts you got a talent for teaching keep up good work
@@SugeRealest Thank you ! :)
@@screwsnutsandbolts i changed suspension on the hyundai i10 and i had a seized bolt so i cross threaded new bolt when fitting suspension now i gotta go top bolt to save myself
Quick where can you order the rear struts
Thank you for the informative and clear video. What is the car here, Peugeot 307? And merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and everybody in the world.🎄👍🎁🕯️🧑🎄
You're welcome. This is a 2000 Toyota Yaris. Merry Christmas !
Thank you ok in all
Love the video , could you tell me what car this is done on ? I searched Toyota spacia rear coil replacement and this was the first one to come up lol. Great video 👌
Thanks, this is a 2000 Toyota Yaris
Would it be quiet a similar process for a Toyota spacia or better to find information for that particularly? Cheers
@@tatianastevenson2546 It could be similar or it could be very different so you'll probaby need to find specific info for that particular vehicle if you can.
Wish you had one for front springs as well
I don't have the Yaris any more, sorry
Could you use spring compressors and take it off that way? instead of undoing strut bolts and lowering?
I'm not sure. If you could fit the compressors in there properly it could be possible
Hi every i put rear spring on it is at a angle its a new spring it wont go on straight it might be a bad lower bump stop becouse the old one is really bad i cant get it straight for anything
Nice one. on 2004 is it the same work ?
Thanks. It should be the same
Guud. 👍👍👍
Thanks ! 👍
Should I use a spring compressor on the coil? Or can I just pop the new coil in as is
It should fit straight in there as is. Just be careful no to put too much strain on the brake hose as you install it.
Great Video! I had a question, My 2010 Mercedes CLS 219 had both its rear coil springs replaced recently as they were fractured. Following replacement, the rear ride height seems to be a few centimetres more than it was previously. Is this normal? In time, will the rear ride height go back to how it was on the old springs that were replaced? Many thanks in advance.
I would assume that the older springs would have sagged a bit as they became worn out and that new springs would initially raise the rear of the car a little bit
@@screwsnutsandbolts Thanks, how much should the ride height eventually settle by and how long does this usually take?
Fractured springs is a common problem with modern cars due to the cheap 'n' nasty way the springs are made (Renault Clio is particularly bad). The last coil snaps off causing the car to drop so new springs will restore the correct height.
Where can you buy the lower mount rubbers, struggling to find
Is this the same ?: www.ebay.com/itm/284051490507
The left shock need not be released to do this? Thanks.
No not on this Yaris. They're not connected by a cross-member like with some vehicles
Great video. Does anyone know if it's a similar process for a Renault modus?
I'm not exactly sure. It's probably similar but more like this: ruclips.net/video/9c9M4JTM8rE/видео.html
Wish a wagon was that easy
Canadian tire or uap
What is the part called where the top of the spring sits? Mine is rusted with not much left to hold the spring in place? Sub frame?
Yes I think it's part of the rear subframe
Could the camber/wheel alignment be corrected at a tyre shop?
Yes most tyre shops can also carry out wheel alignment
I just installed it from a mechanic, but mine makes cracking sound on bumpy roads. Does that go away after a couple of days? car was Hyundai eon and replacement was orignal spare part from dealership.
That’s not normal at all. You should take it back and have them check it. I can guarantee you they didn’t line the rubber boots or the spring itself up correctly. It’s definitely one or the other.
Can fit if i convert air suspension to spring for viano 2007 ?
I don't know, sorry :)
What torque setting would be usual for tightening the damper nut?
The strut lower mount nut should be torqued to 49Nm (36 foot pounds)
I always make it habit to first loosen the wheel nuts before jacking the car up, if it's too tight it may be hard or even dangerous to remove the nuts when the car is jacked up
Good tip, thanks
Are the rear springs the same for both sides?
Yes they are.
May you please share the name and part number of the pry bar? Thank you
It's just a small wrecking bar
Had these two coils replaced and now every time I go over any incline I hear popping noises like when you were a kid riding your bicycle with freshly inflated tires and you ride over a small stone and it is shot out from the pressure of the tire riding over it and it makes that "popping" ping noise. Is this normal for new rear spring coils to make this pinging popping noise???
It sounds like the spring seats might not be fitted in the right position at the top or bottom or the springs aren't rotated with the spring ends pointing towards the front of the car. Did you have them fitted at a garage ?
@@screwsnutsandbolts Thanks for the reply! I had it done at the dealership! I should probably take it back in and have them assess their work. Just didn't want to have to make another trip in with covid ramping up here in Wisconsin.
@@jnbond I understand that but I would definitely take it back to them and have it looked at
coil spring insulator both she of same design in Nissan Versa
Bro is fixing cars with church ⛪️ shoes 👞
Damn !
I would have kicked the spring to make sure it was secured =D
🌹🌹🌹🌹🕊
what if you don't put the rubber at 4:24?
A worn out or missing coil spring seat will allow metal to metal contact and the spring will move around and cause noise.
Should you replace the coil also?
This is the coil spring
@@screwsnutsandbolts Sorry, I meant the shocks
@@nld-bl5ct It depends on what condition they're in to be honest. If they're working ok and there's no leaks or corrosion, I wouldn't replace them.
@@screwsnutsandbolts You are a professional, but if I were to do it myself and get that far, I would pop that shock on. I am 75 and it get harder by the year. Thank you for the video.
@@nld-bl5ct You're very welcome :)
No that the shock the spring is the coil be hind it
Mounting already damaged and deformed, why didn't change?
The video was for demonstration
You should have removed the brake line from the trailing arm before levering the arm to pull out the spring. All else was great.
@Michael Powell I should have mentioned "un-clipped the braided hose pipe from the trailing arm", not remove it from the brake drum assembly, which would result in air entering into the pipe. The pipe should never ever be stretched.
The detrimental stretch is from 3:45 to 3:51. Over time the rubber/neoprene becomes brittle and any stretch is harmful
G.M.
Oi...
You talk to much. Please be quiet.
