Their is no need to dismantle the track rod end, or to take out the driveshaft, just loosen the retaining driveshaft bolt and tap the shaft partially back, this allows the she shaft to stay in situ when the hub drops down, also I didn't see the mechanic align the top strut mount with the bearing and strut , their are marking on all three parts to align them !

Thank you for your valuable clarification, we install the bearing in the upper part of the spring in the center when we screw the nut of the shock absorber rod, it falls into place. AUTODOC

You tightened up the bolt for the axle 94nm! So wrong it is just 60nm max. I broke my bolt cause of this wrong info😢
Yes, you are right. The correct moment is 35 Nm + 90° and it will be useful for us. Thank you for your attentiveness.
how did you align the bearing on top of the spring, how did you know it was in the right spot?

@@autodocuk Shouldn't you align the "pin marker" of the bearing to the end of the top spring? I read this in a forum.
Good 👍👍👍
