Very timely video for me as I’m going to do the same job myself on my own car next week,new struts springs and shocks on the front, new wishbones, droplinks and track rods and finally new springs, shocks on the back. Should keep me busy for a day, or at least I hope it’ll just be one day!
hi have new KYB shocks and springs to fit, is it easy to see the which way up the springs go, by looking at them, one end has a flatter top wound spring, so would that be to sit the rubber top spring mount to sit inside, thank you for any help, will be able to look when old spring comes of
Thanks champ! The best step by step video i have seen on You Tube ...sorry Dell Boy! As a C4 owner i so felt the horror of you overcoming the under-bonnet *engineering* ;( So its replacement then - are there coil assist kits? Brilliant video.
What would be best set up replacement for Oz country roads corrugated - ours gets a beating but is a plucky little C4 just wish it sealed better against dust ...
Any chance to get the part number for top strut mount? Mines knocking like a jehowa witness at my doors and its time to replace but not too sure if im looking for the right part :( great vid btw! My c4 is 16 plate gen 2
I don't know why but most of the cheaper sets like Halford, draper, sealey always seem to come with a 20-22 offset spanner yet most topmount shocker bolts are 21mm.. 😕
@@ORileysAutos I have thought about filing the 20mm end a bit until 21mm, because I don't think I've ever used the 20mm. Would probably void warranty but mmhha only a cheap spanner. Silverline do a single offset spanner with a 21mm end if I can remember.

Glad it helped
Nice work pal 👍
Thanks 👍
Wow very interesting 👏 thank you
Thank you for the video,
is it normal to have a gap in the top suspension mount while the car is not jacked?

Could we get a link to the spring compression tool kit ?
Great video. How much would you expect to pay for front suspension replacement at a garage?
Did you change the other side as well or just do one side which is not really advisable?
Hello.
What is the lengh of the spring? I have seen there are 405 milimeters and 430 mm

Hi, could you please help me because I don't understand that part from 4:17, it's 21mm but you use 22mm?
👍🏴

Is anybody else trying to mod this car?
