@@ChazzCoombesV70 as well. I might do this job next spring. I noticed that the spring on the right side was broken down at the seat. I plan to drive until I replace both when the weather improves, which would be April or May.
Update guys, since this video was made the rear suspension has now settled fully. The gap is no longer ready for off roading, lol. Will being doing an update video soon on the process on the car so stay tuned.
Brilliant, I have to do my springs and shocks. Mk 4 1.8tdci hatchback 125bhp. The mistakes are great left in and explained before puting right. Fair play, one of the best vids iv seen.
Great real video. In a week, i hope to have replaced all 4 springs on my mk4. The video shows that it isnt completely necessary to compress the rear springs before removing them, but the front ones have to be compressed , eventually after removing the completely strut included the hub first. Cautions is important
So glad I watched this, ordered my springs sent them the reg so they can send me the correct ones and would you believe it. They sent me the wrong ones 🤦♂️ needed the smaller one same as you
Looks like quite a simple little job, at least compared to doing the brakes on all four corners...... Pitty I can't do it myself any more with no flat ground to work on my car. I do have to wonder why i'm having SO much trouble getting anyone to quote this job though. 1 place wasn't equipped for it (new garage I decided to try). 3 places still haven't called me back after nearly 7 hours. 1 place refused to believe it was the spring and said they needed to see it, they became even keen to quote when I told i'd had the wheel off and could send them a photo of the broken spring. It's quite simple, i've diagnosed the problem (broken spring), all they have to do is the required work and any additional complications that crop up. Is the state of garages these days?
Chaz, good show, I now own a Ford Focus Zetec. 1.8tdci, and it has from the factory, a sports suspension set up. It is reported to have a ten mm drop all-round. It doesn't though, have the WRC rear anti rollbar drop links . I will be checking the spring colours now. I am changing the rear engine mount ( Lynx engine ) , as it has gone ( transmition to subframe ) .Very handy this video. Also Chaz, I think your Mondeo should have what's called a " Crash plate " above the fuel filter housing, mine has, but it's missing, a " lazy mechanic " issue possibly!! ☺☺
hiya sorry i really need to start putting the Torque settings in the description. Any way Lower Control Arm bolt to hub carrier is 120Nm and the Subframe bolt is 103Nm hope this helpss
I used the phone mic for this vid, the wind didnt help much, lol. It if out of sync that might me the editting software. I will check it out and see what i can do.
Exactly the same procedure for the Volvo V60 P3 year 2011 - 2018🚘. It isn't covered so well on youtube so this is very helpful.
Cheers for that Brian, will tag that motor sonmight help other Volvo V60 people out.

I’m about to change the rear springs on my wife’s 2010 S-Max. This is a really helpful video to watch before doing the job. Thanks for sharing.

Great video, it’s good to see you made a mistake and explained what you did wrong, well done!
Yeap, i tend to leave them in when i make a mistake. Keeps the vids real and show that things do and can go wrong. Cheers mate.
Well done leaving in what can go wrong. It can be the most important part of a video, sometimes.

Great Video, can i ask right at the start where you have the jack placed to raise the car
healpful video
Thanks
Brilliant thanks Chazz, extremely helpful, thanks again.
Awesome job, this helped me a lot, thank you.
Nice one mate and thanks for the great job. 👍

Good job, thank you for the video
who were the manufacturers of the first and second springs you installed as far as I could see on the video the first ones you installed were thick
Great video Chazz
Just wondered, where is the best place to find the torque lists for these cars?
Rates ford sell genuine springs for peantus on ebay, like 15.99 a spring inc delivery. I try and avoid aftermarket where I can for this reason....
Thanks for this video Bro
🙏💚🙏
Could you please tell how it is called where the spring mounts in the upper section? i know that the bottom is the wishbone if i am correct.
Is rear wheel alignment needed after springs replacement?
Well done for sharing
What is the torque figure for the lower bolt ? This is a job I have to do on my car.
hiya sorry i really need to start putting the Torque settings in the description. Any way Lower Control Arm bolt to hub carrier is 120Nm and the Subframe bolt is 103Nm hope this helpss
@@ChazzCoombes many thanks
Aren't there supposed to be shock absorbers inside those springs?
Shock absorbers are behind the spring coils.
Da kann man auch direkt die beiden hinteren Querlenker mit neu machen. Sind doch eh schon halb vergammelt.
Chazz you need to sort out the sound it bloody awful
I used the phone mic for this vid, the wind didnt help much, lol. It if out of sync that might me the editting software. I will check it out and see what i can do.
Alte Anschlagpuffer genommen. Achse komplett verrostet😩
the sound is awful because it does not match up, its sound like a time lag
send your raw footage to me to edit up
hi chazz, i made the same mistake as you with seating the coil, does it make a lot of difference do i need to go back and adjust this do you think?
