Hanging out under your car with a jack holding it up is one of the stupidest things you could do, let alone record yourself doing and then posting it up for other people to see and repeat. Get some axle stands and use them.... trust me I had a very near miss once trying to rush a job and not bothering with axle stands. Otherwise a very good walkthrough.

This has just happened to my V50.. thanks for the video!

[@darrentaylor3111]

Great video.exact same thing happened to mine.driving along happily,went over a speed bump then heard a knocking noise from the rear wheel arch. Strut mount snapped both sides where the bolts are . Your video guided me through doing the job myself and saving a few quid at the garage. Cheers ! 👍

[@Dan_AYP]

[@jh1544]

[@jh1544]

Have you got a link to the parts you used?

[@sacs2000]

Good guide ill be doing this tomorrow on one side only as quick fix hopefully will go well

[@LeadFootash23]

Good luck, it's not a bad job if the bolts come out OK

[@taylorjohn7388]

This exact same just happened to me, usually I do it myself but when my rear wheel dtuds snapped as I was removing them I stopped and it went straight to a garage

[@Dan_AYP]

Thats insane how the aluminium (presumably ali) sheared off like that

[@CRUISER242]

Hello my friend what is the brand of the wheels looking great on the Volvo v50 great video

[@oskarola997]

Same happened to me and i bought used ones for 25$ . Easy swap

All corrosion is a pain in the (you know where).
But bi-metallic corrosion make it even worse. 😞

Super useful but music to loud compared to voice.

We were extremely close to buying a v50 as a daily work horse which would allow us to modify the hell out of our nismo, sadly the guy was asking 900 quid for it sake peice he paid a few years ago, before he put 20k miles on it 🤣

[@chucky2316]

900 quid is a fair price

[@RAPIDNISMO]

@@chucky2316 not for the milage and condition of it overall

[@chucky2316]

@@RAPIDNISMO if its a d5 the mileage is irrelevant they do 500k plus

[@RAPIDNISMO]

@@chucky2316 was a 1.6 diesel so still reliable, just bodywork was a mess

[@MacSaxe]

Just had the exact same happen to my v50 1.6 drivE today - same noise, same sheared off powdery aluminium oxide mount. Ford ruined an otherwise great car with their cost cutting

[@glennscott4251]

Yer yer this should be a peice of piss.... good luck getting past the locktite on rusting bolt heads !!
