Thanks for the great video. Soon to do this for the first time. Based on all the KZfaq videos I have watched on that spring compressor(which I purchased), the upper "perch" I believe you called it, is not supposed to go over the spring, but rather over the upper spring seat. Then after compressing the coil and removing the strut the compression can be released to remove that piece. I believe ECS(Bavarian Auto) sells their Schwaben brand, and has a KZfaq video on proper use.

Great video.😊 Could you share the link on this “shock absorber tools”?

No bump stop?

Hi hey I have a 325i 2012,, which shock do you recommend? I have to go first with the FRONTS? let me know trying to get a brand in MExico . 325i 2012 2.5 6 Cyl M Sport

Do you know how tight did you torque the strut bearing nut? The manual spec is 48 ft lb, after I torqued to the spec, the bearing can't even spin at all. I am afraid, if I did not torque to the spec, I will get noise from the mount on any bump. When I try to use impact gun to tight the nut, the shaft shaft spin.

you can also see KAMARSHOCK channel on you tube

Struts in the front and shocks in the rear, bro
