If you room the two bolt out from the bottom of the shocker where the hub fits it’s 100% easier to refit the ball joint then reattach the hub to the strut
Hi. Me from Merseyside again! Another Informative video on any forthcoming (front) brake issues on my daughters 3008. I was surprised that the front calliper's just needed pushing back and not winding back as on the rear brakes ????
Hi Norman! Glad you are finding the videos useful. All front brake calipers are just push in pistons. Some cars rear calipers are push in too (depending on the type of brake setup). Winding back calipers is only required if the handbrake cable attaches to the caliper. As the handbrake element of it screws out to "auto adjust" as the pads wear.
Thank you for your comment. That's very true! However if a customer has to pay for my time it doesn't work out much cheaper. Part will be cheaper but theres more labour time/cost involved messing about with bushes. Fitting a new arm also means you can forget about the other bush failing or the wishbone itself corroding for a few years. So if you are paying a mechanic to do the job it's much better value to replace the whole wishbone.
Valuable video for 3008 owners. Many thanks dear sir!
Thank you for your comment.
Really appreciate it.
Thanks for the video really helped when I had to do the same job on my 3008
I wish it was as easy to do as you make it look.thanks for your valuable experience.
Good video i put balljoint into arm then thread into hub much easier than trying to pry arm down onto thread of balljoint
Same mechanics as Peugeot Partner. Good information and tips. Thank you.
Great vid helped me with my 3008 thanks

helps. yes ur a1.
Great How too.... video. More 3008's please 👍
Glad you found the video useful.
The reason why the 1st bolt, centre arm, is pointing down is, if the nut comes undone, the bolt won't fall out. Safety first. 😉

Thanks very much for the informative video
You need to invest in an engineer's hammer, claw hammers are for property maintenance 🤣🤣🤣
Does a faulty ball joint cause the car to switch on ESP error ?
Yes and causes tyre ware
Excellent andy thank yòu
Thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe for more videos!
For the ball joint it's a 41mm
Should have changed discs look well worn and rusted.🤔great otherwise
Way cheaper to buy bushings and press into the wishbone.

Its not that much more expensive to buy the whole thing and far less agro .

I have no idea what this means but thank you for the comment!
You talk to much instead of showing how you do it.
