Vauxhall Corsa Felt DANGEROUS to Drive... Until I Replaced This Item

Описание: In this tutorial video, I demonstrate how to diagnose and replace a worn shock absorber top mounting — a common cause of drifting, instability, and poor handling on the road. The vehicle was experiencing unstable driving and wandering on straight roads, just like driving in a strong crosswind. Upon inspection, I found excessive play and wear in the top mount, which affected the suspension performance and steering response.

If you’ve noticed similar symptoms — uneven tyre wear, knocking noises, or loose steering — this step-by-step tutorial will help you diagnose and fix the issue yourself. Ideal for DIY car repairers, Vauxhall enthusiasts, small garages, and anyone looking to save money on garage bills, this video covers everything from identifying worn parts to fitting a new top mount correctly and safely.
