Thanks mate, this video helped me ALOT in regards to how the replace my rear shock absorbers. You are one brave man to compress the springs w/ the manual compressors!
@hprelude2000 Thank you for looking and glad if it helps anyone lol at the spring compressors got use what you have lol but must admit I did think perhaps a nice set of new ones of fleabay might be a good think I ve had these ones 30 years lol
No problems, sir. It turns out it's supposed to be between 55-75 lbs of torque. Last time I tackle suspension on a rust bucket without an acetylene torch, though.
Ah sorry I never saw you comment till now, I have done so many over the years that I just know when to stop, it's just something you get a feel for. but I am sure the speck is all out there somewhere.
U.S NJ the same , salt kill the metal structure of a vehicle , is like termites eating woods , for got another things, to ask why don't you put the dust boot in too?
Well I have fitted many sets of shockers in my lifetime and I never felt the need to pump any of them , by the time you drive half a mile in Scotland you shockers will be well pumped :)
you had good detailing your video and I did learn a little cuz I'm going to do this by myself but your camera kept wandering off what you were doing and you didn't explain everything you were doing a lot of times you were quiet like did you grease up the top of the strut assembly I don't know what you did there
