And not a single torque spec was mentioned xD
Edit: Well, at least a couple of very basic ones in the end lol
Great guide. For the S3: Some steps I found weren’t necessary (maybe there’s more clearance on the S3 vs A3?). I didn’t need to remove the drive shaft nor split the ball joint to wishbone connection, just pushed the arm down to get clearance. On the downside, the wishbone and hub are aluminium alloy so the strut pinch bolt was seized SOLID and needed a blowtorch to help it come out (hammering alone just wasn’t working).
Thats a pain in the a** design. got to get out a lot of things before you can remove those shocks lol
Every. Single. Bolt. Completely over-torqued. This is why you shouldn't use an impact to install hardware. Where is the missing lug bolt? Would have been easy enough to replace. This is why I don't trust anyone. Piss poor maintenance practices.
What’s a drive socket number 24?
Excellent video a perfectly executed spring change, complete with torque settings, super job.
Great video
