Cool did mine yesterday whats the washer at the bottom of the damper. I wasn't sure whether it had to be facing a certain way to keep toe alignment

[@seanwallace1972]

With out having a vice,is there any other way of removing the top bracket without the centre spinning,

[@MoHonda90]

Great video 👍🏼 is it gas type or oil type? Which one is better for insignia?

[@carsbikes9961]

Hi, Gas for Insignia

[@CarloMarongiu-u8o]

Nice video, what's about tightening torque?

[@carsbikes9961]

Should be 150nm for bottom bolt and 90nm for the top

[@seanwallace1972]

Good video the top and bottom shock bolts sizes would be a tip to mention what size they are

[@carsbikes9961]

Good point Sean, cheers 👍

I have to change the bump stop on my rear shock,in this vidoe I can see the bump stop,I’ll have to remove the top mount,and remove the bump stop,fitting the nee bump stop,it goes on befor the top mount I’d assume,does it attach to the top mount?if not how does it sit on the rear shock please

[@malcolmcowan9554]

Looks like the rear subframe had its day

[@davidcole5842]

didn't fancy putting some new bump stops on then

[@seanwallace1972]

What can I use to stop the shaft from turning as I don’t have a vice

[@carsbikes9961]

Hi, Vice grips would do, but i would use a cloth between the shaft and grips so the shift doesn't get damaged/scratched

[@hal752]

How did you tie down the upper screw. Mines just spinning.

[@carsbikes9961]

Hi, it's held by the vice, that's how I can use a socket, if not hold the top of the shocker with vice grips and use a spanner

[@hal752]

@@carsbikes9961 turns out wrong thread on the actual shock. Found is easy when I had the correct bolt.

[@carsbikes9961]

@@hal752 Glad to hear that 🙂

[@dukeofdevon5608]

I did mine last year. Trust my Insignia to have self levelling shocks. £750 for the pair 😮

[@carsbikes9961]

That's expensive :(
