Thank you for this video. Last shocks I changed were on my Karmann Ghia.
I will now take my car to the mechanic to do a correct job with the right
tools.
Do you remember, from what car is the shock absorber guard used in 19
minets in your film. I want to use these shock absorber guards in my audi
80. Thanks
Isn’t there a 7MM hex at the top of the strut that must be held in place in
order to get the top nut off of the strut? I’ve seen another video where
they take a pipe wrench to their 22MM socket and turn it while holding the
hex in place with an allen key.
Many thanks for this. A local garage has replaced my top mounts on my, 1998
Audi 2.8 Convertible.Five times ive been back because it still knocks lol.I
have watched them put it together, with the spacer on top of the spring
plate lol.I cant wait till monday morning.Once Many Thanks.
Thanks man for great tutorial man! I’ve never tackled anything like this
until I watched your video! Everything worked great, except I have a
rubbing noise coming from pass side brakes. Going to take wheel off and
perhaps re-seat the caliper later today. I’m sure it’s an easy fix! Take
it easy, and keep up the good work!
I have a 1988 audi 90 quattro could you give me some help on replacing my
front struts. Similar design but the strut bushings at the top i cannot
find anywere
Very helpfull, although in my non quattro 90its mostly the same, aside from
my right side spring being stuck completely compressed even when the car is
lifted with a jack! Thx for the video!
hey quick question what type of springs does the 1989 audi 90 base front
springs what are the specs and other cars that have the front springs i can
take off trying to higher the front some one put lowering springs in the
front and its to low and its rubbing and great video realy helped and
followed your steps with eazzz
Is it possible to replace the struts without removing the whole strut
assembly? It can be done this way on a 1995 A6. Or is the design of the 90
very different?
Thanks for the great video! A couple of tips I picked up: 1) I found the
sway bar linkage much easier to remove/remount with the wheels loaded (i.e.
the car off the jack). 2) The tie-rod end studs were free spinning, so I
used a Dremel to cut a slot in the top of them to hold using a flat-bladed
screwdriver. 3) Sealey make a special tool for undoing the nut at the top
of the strut stack: the Sealey SX028.
Thank you for the great video I just changed the front struts, stabelizer
links and tie rods, everything that’s been changed seem fine, however, my
streering has been clicking/clucking when I go straight and turn. It clicks
more when I am going straight and let it cruise then when I hit the gas,
but if I am taking a turn and hit the gas, then it clicks more, any idea as
to what it might be? ball joint, axles, or steering wheel? It don’t think
it shakes, it just clucks
Like the video. A couple of tips for you viewers thought. 1. You only have
to take the top caliper bolt off, and slightly loosen the bottom bolt and
pull back on the brake caliper just enough to get the bottom strut bolt
out. Much easier this way. 2. The bump stop actually fits into the bellows.
There is a groove in the bump stop that fit in the bellows and when
inserted, it becomes one piece. You can zip tie it after that, and won’t
crush it like in the video. Other wise, great video

No. Only on the 5000’s, 100’s, 200’s, and A6’s you can replace the shocks
without removing the strut Assembly.

The rear springs are the shorter of the two. just count the number of coils.
Is it possible to replace the struts without removing the whole strut
assembly? It can be done this way on a 1995 A6. Or is the design of the 90
