[@hicks1066]

Very nice video, but you forgot to mention the gromit beneath the rear spoiler, also what if the bottom bolt is stuck

[@autodocuk]

We cannot show all the nuances and problems during replacement; this is all individual and it is not always possible to solve them at home. To avoid this, we always recommend that replacements be carried out by specialized car services.

[@Benny46drift]

I typed in DS3, guessing they are the same then?

[@autodocuk]

Please clarify or rephrase your question and we will be able to assist you.

JET HOSE THE ARCHES PRIOR TO ANY WORK AND SOAK WITH WD40 ANY NUTS/BOLTS A FEW TIMES DAYS IN ADVANCE,

[@zerodqkov341]

On the video the Nm specs are different from the subtitles why ??

[@autodocuk]

Please clarify or rephrase your question, specify the time of the fragment in the video.

[@zerodqkov341]

4:15 top right corner says 85Nm subs say 93Nm ?!

There is no easy way to remove the original shock absorbers from the lower bolts of an old car.The bolts and the sleeves are getting rusty with the years, and there is no easy way out.I had to cut the shock absorber's lower ear and cut and split the bushing to remove them.It took about 4 hours for both sides.

[@robertjones6212]

your fitter is not using the correct sockets for power tools

[@davesav1]

All that dust coming off the plastic inner wheel arch, I know now to wash it before staarting any work.

I'm sure there are af least five takes of this video. The first four containing heavy swearing, throwing tools are the camera man, a serious fight and a medical intervention. They only show the fifth where everything comes loose without effort and all the plastic clips fall out automatically.
