My Audi mechanic shows no mercy on these jobs.Good aim and a big hammer.I watched him.After 25 years of practice he can do it without hitting the fenders.

I was told by a mechanic that heating suspension parts was illegal as it affects their strength! Logical really as it would destroy any heat treatment if you went anywhere near red hot.
