    A great tip to get the hub off the strut , use a flat chisel as a wedge to open up the gap in the clamp.

    • @mec-tec

      Thats a good tip, i used a crowbar but it didnt wedge in as the gap was to wide 🙈

    hello, George from Corinth, Greece. this is exactly how I work, in the afternoons after work at the garage. allow me a comment: I think you are doing something wrong with the lower screw on the rear shock absorber.you must finally arrive when the wheels touch the ground before you remove the jack. this way the blue block of the damper does not develop preload.be strong and watch out, our work involves danger.😊😊

    lowering springs is also stiffer.. so it's a REAL good ide to get some upgrades shocks as well.

    Change to some thinner wheels I had 165/45/15s on 7j wheels with an offset of et20 they over hung the arch but with stretched tyres it sat nicely.

    May I ask what brand springs you've used?

      Hi mate thanks ! Glad you like it ! They are Eibach springs that i used, hope that helps 👍👍👍

    Looks great BUT never grip the shiny shock piston with grips, this will mar the surface and possibly damage the shock seals.

    • @mec-tec
      @mec-tec  Год назад +1

      Hi mate, yes i talked about that at the end of the vid, it was a very light grip and no damage was caused 👍👍

    Yeah , how much play do you have the front wheel touching inner arch. I had a problem like this, and solved it by using a universal wheel spacer.

    • @mec-tec
      @mec-tec  Год назад +1

      I dont think its rubbing by much but i dont really wana run spacers and wider wheels as it puts alot more stress on the bearings etc good thought though 👍

      Fox wedges are tapered wedges that are ideal for taking off and opening up gaps in struts.
