Definitely a thumb up! the site is much more clear to me, easier to use and to browse.
I like the first page with the big buttons, a real invitation to come in.

Great job. Thanks for us.Hi, I’ve just changed the back absorbers and front Mcpherson struts on a Opel Astra from 1996. (190000km/120000miles)
It tooks me 5 hours only for the struts because of some rusty bolts.
The point I really want to mention is, once the replacement is ended, struts back on the car, it’s VERY important, to tighten once more the central bold on the top of the absorber, over there, under the hood.
I already tighten it with a impact wrench while the strut was of of the car, but it wasn’t enough! :blush:
Whence in place, with the weight of the car, the spring is compressed a little more and it’s possible to tighten a lot more.
I realize this because of the noise I heard while running my car on bumpy roads :ohmy:Hi, I’ve just changed the back absorbers and front Mcpherson struts on a Opel Astra from 1996. (190000km/120000miles)

I realize this because of the noise I heard while running my car on bumpy roads :ohmy:yes, it’s not as frequent !! Last day I saw a girl who was changing shock absorber on her car, with the advices of a mechanics. She did it well…
We’ll have to look at female another way :ohmy:
