Viewers double check every torque specs I followed this video and torqued my pinched bolts at 70nm as 8:50 suggested it snapped the knuckle! upon checking online bentley manual says its only 40nm! huge difference be aware loads of inaccuracies with autodocs videos!

mine looks like it come from the Titanic - so I think I'll ask the garage to have a go for me.

As much as I'd love to be able to do it

Excellent video, can I get advice from you please? I had replacement 2weeks ago I have done 300miles. My wheel arche is 5finger from tyre. Car is extremely high now. Garage saying they got correct shocks. What do you think?
