Nice video but you didnt follow 1aautos video on common strut mistakes. In it he says to wait on tightening the 3 top mount bolts once the tires are on and the weight of car has loaded the springs
You put your stopped in backward
Yeah…sliding the knuckle up. Easier said than done. Fuck this video.
Anyone know how to do it on the passenger side cause I’m having a very hard time getting the other side done
I like how careful you are in doing the work. Hope my mechanic working on my vw Jetta SW TDI is this careful. Thank you for your video.
The sway bar link actually uses a 6mm triple square, not allen / hex. This is probably what caused it to cam out in the video around 2:35, and when I tried it the same thing happened.
This may vary between models, I'm not sure, but definitely check what you have before sticking an Allen key in there!
This video is fantastic, but I'm a little confused. How do you have so much play to get strut out and new one in? Mine isn't giving me enough space to fit new one (by a few inches). Did you loosen something else that wasn't covered?
I need to change the front struts for My Jetta 2009 .I'm not sure what size I need to buy. Do you know if it is size 50mm or 55mm?
Literally the best video on doing this I’ve even seen!!!!!! You are awesome!
This method does not apply to all MK5 style VW's . the golf/rabbit you must remove the axle. If not, it will hit the sway bar and you can not remove the strut. there is not enough room.
One question, how come all the other online videos show that you need to remove the axle bolt, and ball joint nuts. and you didn't seem to do that???
This job would not need an alignment after since there is no adjustment at the strut.
