You should warn people to make sure they use an impact wrench to remove the bottom shock bolt. I just sheared the bolt off using a torque wrench - a good way to ruin a day in the garage and eliminate any money I thought I'd save. My car has no rust, so I wasn't expecting that to happen.
Thank you for the feedback! Your opinion and remarks are very important for us. We will take them into consideration for our next tutorial. Best regards, Autodoc.
With all due respect, either you were turning the bolt the wrong direction, or the bolt was frozen and going to break anyway (with the quality of german steel that's very, very rare on even older diesel mercedes on suspension parts unless the car has an inordinate amount of rust. The method or tool going the proper direction makes no difference.
Thank you for the feedback! The car will be unstable on corners, braking distance will increase and there will be extraneous knocking on road roughnesses at strong deterioration. Visually, it will be visible that the oil flows out of the top of the shock absorber. Best Regards, Autodoc
@@autodocuk It's there all through the video but very obvious at 3:12 behind the guy's shoulders. You can see the arm of the lift pushing the side step up. It's an easy mistake to make but it doesn't have to happen.
You don't provide the torque specs for tightening the lower bolt of the shock and not only that, i can't believe you're using an impact wrench to tighten it knowing that you will over-tighten. The 10x10mm socket screws holding the fender liner can be removed by a power driver saving time. Highlight suggest safety goggles due to dust and debris falling from wheel well.
Thank you for the feedback! This video is considered to be an informative one, it is not a maintenance guide. So this video tutorial only shows the sequence of replacing the shock absorber, without specifying all technical nuances. Best regards, Autodoc.
respectfully, there is no need to use a torque wrench to tighten a fastening bolt down since the max torque on an impact is about 125 ft lbs and as long as it doesnt come undone it doesnt matter how tight it is. Torque wrenches are for instances where there is a bearing, or the risk of over tightening in say aluminum or another metal is possible because of the size of the bolt, the amount of thread and the likely tightening tool. When simply fastening an unmovable suspension part as long as you are above 75 ft lbs, the approximate torque on a wheel lug nut, and the part itself has no rotation, other than breaking the bolt, torque simply has no bearing on the matter.

How long did it take you to replace it?
Made it look easy! Definitely looks easier than the rear.
Another good job.
We are glad that you enjoy our work!
Outstanding Video. Some of the best on TH-cam. Thank you

We are glad to know this tutorial was useful to you.
Stay tuned with us!
Best regards,
Autodoc team!
Nice. Makes it much easier to do vs most cars have front struts so you have to swap the spring over.
I Love How More Than Half The Video Is For The Fender Liner And Mud Guards
Thanks for your positive comment! Stay with us!
Thank you for the video, I did this on my 02 ML. Actually it was pretty easy install.
Thank you for your positive feedback! We're trying our best to make our videos as comprehensible as possible.

Hi! What kind of shocks did you buy? I also have a ml320 02. Thanks
Good job, man. I have an 05 ML and need to step up my wrench skills.
Nice and clear, thanks
Thank you for the feedback! We are glad that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
Really nice video.
Where is the spring? This is just an absorber right? How can I lift up a couple of cm my ml? Thanks
Thank you for your feedback! In this case the car has front suspension torsion system. There shouldn't be any spring at all. Best regards, Autodoc.
Where can I buy the front and rear set for this car same year and model I can’t find them anywhere online pls I need help

@@davidrosenbloom6652 can i use a regular wrench to remove it? And spraying oil on the bolt so it can get loose?
when will I know that my shocks need replacing, and how about the torsion bar plate?

My shock bushing fell out the shock when i removed it on my 02 ml 55. I cant find any videos on assembling them.
Thank you for your feedback ! Could you describe your issue in more details? Best regards, Autodoc.
The rubber bushings under the blue cover fell off
@@mystery314stl did you fix the problem? How did you fix it?
Can u show me a picture how it's put together
Thank you for the feedback! Unfortunately, we are not be able to provide you such information. Best regards, Autodoc.
Good video but it's a shame the 2 post lift bent the side steps so much on this car.
Please specify the timing of the snippet in the video.
