Good video! For the passat b7, you don't need to unmount the track rod ball joint. If you do it should be tightened to 100 Nm, loosened (turned back) 180° and retightened to 100 Nm. Renew the nut. The 3 bolts on the swivel joint have to tightened to 100 Nm in case the suspension link is made of sheet steel or forged aluminium. 60 Nm is for cast steel. Also they need to tightened to torque when the vehicle is in unladen position (normal position of the vehicle). The nut tightening the strut arm to the wheel bearing housing must also be renewed. The tip of the bolt must always face the direction of travel.
You took off the entire wheel assembly to change the struts lmao, that is so rediculous it's beyond words. Anybody watching this please don't do what this guy just did, it's absolutely insane, and uncalled for.

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make and post this. It helped me out a lot; especially with all the torque specs you provided.

Should probably mention the wiper nuts are left hand thread!
I learned the hard way 😭
@CutClipZ exactly the same problem here. I have now purchased a wiper arm puller. Along with masses of other tools!
Thanks KYB Europe i learned the right procedure to to this.
Can you tell me what the name of the tool is called at 1:23,
Digger D
It’s an Extractor for Ball joints. This tool box allows to extract joint puller etc… properly without
breaking something.
Any ideas how to get the bolt off 2:00 if it is like totally stuck?
You don't have to separate the track rod ,at all.
The ball joint would be enough to do this job.
Our videos show best practice for replacement

Like him,this is the best way to do it,there is no need to take of the track rod.
which tool used to release the shock ? min 2,15
Good job no messing about. 😊
It's a spacer tool
is there any serial/part number on the top mounting kit? bought one on Ebay and not sure if it's genuine
There is no KYB part number stamped onto the actual mounting kit.

Totally agree, must be making up time for extra pennies haha poor customer
Is it needed to remove the axel bolt though?
why are kayaba so uncomfortable , my golf is now jumping over every bump!
have you done wheel alignment after all. ?
same tyres with 200k buddy
4:52 7mm and 5:38 6mm?..
Good!
To sNstRflEr: Yes you have to do it , otherwise the shock won't fit in!! It's the right procedure!
Adam White No, it's very wrong!
saksofonistka
Wouldn't have took the hub or track did end off
Me neither
alignment required?
what a job! Not for DIY....
What a pain in the ass.
