by far the best video ive seen, wish i saw this. i had to replace the springs on mine and all other videos showed to remove the axle nut, ball joint nuts, and tie rod nut. a real PITA when i could have just did what he showed here. ugh.

I like how careful you are in doing the work. Hope my mechanic working on my vw Jetta SW TDI is this careful. Thank you for your video.

One question, how come all the other online videos show that you need to remove the axle bolt, and ball joint nuts. and you didn't seem to do that???

It's "easier" if you remove everything because it gives you more room to move around and smack on things with a hammer. But it takes more time, and on a car that has struts as rusty as this, you'll probably find that the fasteners holding the ball joint and the axle are completely rusted, rounded, or unmovable anyways. It also makes it easier for viewers on a video to see what is going on.

The sway bar link actually uses a 6mm triple square, not allen / hex. This is probably what caused it to cam out in the video around 2:35, and when I tried it the same thing happened. This may vary between models, I'm not sure, but definitely check what you have before sticking an Allen key in there!

Nice video but you didnt follow 1aautos video on common strut mistakes. In it he says to wait on tightening the 3 top mount bolts once the tires are on and the weight of car has loaded the springs

This video is fantastic, but I'm a little confused. How do you have so much play to get strut out and new one in? Mine isn't giving me enough space to fit new one (by a few inches). Did you loosen something else that wasn't covered?

Never mind, I see now the jetta mk5 2.5 needs the axle loosened.

This method does not apply to all MK5 style VW's . the golf/rabbit you must remove the axle. If not, it will hit the sway bar and you can not remove the strut. there is not enough room.

I need to change the front struts for My Jetta 2009 .I'm not sure what size I need to buy. Do you know if it is size 50mm or 55mm?

This job would not need an alignment after since there is no adjustment at the strut.
