Unintelligible English !!!
I would of put some copper slip on the 2 top bolts of schocker the noise they were making when you done them up
Hi why do you have to take the wheels off..
awsome video mate
Thanks good stuff, I learned a lot from this vid. I found the torque settings in case anyone wants to check the drawing u can download a pdf from this page. Or I can just tell you it says 22-28 nm for the top bolts and 66-81nm for the bottom bolt but i guess tights tight would do π https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/index.php?threads/suspension-torque-specs.123800458/
Where you from?
I thought the Mazda 2 only shared 4 parts with the fiesta?
What tools you need?
Great Vid Dave, thanks for tips, some of which i already use but some new as well. What torque setting would you use for the lower absorber bolts?
Unrelated for me as I think the springs are in good condition on our mazda 2.
Would it be stupid idea to undo the shock and lower the jack enough to place the spring (without it being compressed) in place then slowly raise the jack so you could secure the shock back in place? Assuming there's a risk of it slipping out of place and back firing into the face!
I'll be following your excellent video to replace the shocks though! Thanks very much!
Wow that spring compressor makes mine look like a toy! Good Vid. Enjoy yer week end Dave. Cheers Pal
Great job mate, some really nice tips and I love the spring compressor… where did you get it ?
