  • Learn how to replace the ENTIRE front suspension of your car in this two episode series. First I will show you how to remove the wheel bearing, ball joints, control arms, tie rod, strut, and axle.
    The ball joint and wheel bearing has to be pressed out of the knuckle and I have a bunch of tips and tricks to make that easy. The upper control arm ball joint and tie rod can get stuck in the knuckle so I show some tricks on how to easily remove that. The rest of the suspension parts are pretty simple to remove and replace.

      @@SenegalGab It's not too bad, time consuming yes, but is worth it to push your vehicle's safety and reliability to the maximum. My car had tons of play in the front suspension it was scary on the highway. I knew then it was enough and it was time to rebuild. The alignment shop told me it looked like it was done at a shop, but I also needed motor mounts and a steering rack. Once I unfortunately dealt with those, I got an alignment and have never drove a car so solid before.

I've put roughly $700 in parts and functionally have brand new front suspension, new brakes all around, and new struts in the rear.

On these kinds of terrible rusted-out disassembly jobs, I've gotten used to watching channels do the work with "overkill" tooling available like an arbor press, cutting torch, air-arc gouging rig, etc. It's neat to see how you get the job done well with relatively modest tools.

    One thing I really like is that his videos don’t make the jobs seem super easy like other creators. Stuff doesn’t come off easily, stuff breaks, stuff won’t go together. Then he shows how to correct the issue, sometimes in multiple ways.
    I can’t tell you how many times I’ve started a job, got into a situation that things didn’t go as planned, and then had to just keep trying for days … or (more often than I like to admit) after trying for a long time, towing the car to a mechanic to finish the job for me.

    • @derekp6636
      @derekp6636 개월 전 +1

      tbh thats an accurate take. I'm not a professional and sometimes jobs just dont go as easy as it looked or I make a mistake and need to wait for a tool/part. I haven't had to resort to towing YET but I've called for help and left in the driveway for a few days...

    • @williamjones3480
      @williamjones3480 개월 전

      @@derekp6636 I got lucky one time. To sum up: car overheating. Ordered water pump, hoses, belts, etc etc to refresh everything. The day it arrives(Friday), a hose blows, so I replaced it and returned all the parts. I thought I had found the problem.
      Sunday afternoon, I flush the coolant and realized that my water pump had a crack in it.
      I considered re-buying the water pump and fixing it, but when “the book” says something takes 2 hours, that can mean “2 days” for me to do it. I had to be at work on Monday, so I called Pep Boys.
      When they were taking off my water pump, 2 bolts broke. If that happened to me, i would not have been able to fix it, and they would’ve charged me to fix that problem, but since it happened while they were working on it, they didn’t charge me to remove the broken bolts, only for the labor to replace the water pump.
      That’s the story I tell myself to attempt to convince myself that I’m not a loser when I can’t fix the problems on my own.

While there are tons of professionals out there each one has their own style and methods for doing things. You are a blessing, not only to automotive pros but also to the people that don't know anything about automotive because you are an excellent teacher. Conclusively, I want to thank you for this video and I look forward to seeing more videos that you have made in the future.

Also when you watched the video, was there a screen that said "this video was flagged by the KRplus community and may be offensive" or something like that? Just wanted to check because I had issues last night which is why I had to postpone publishing the video. I hope it's all fixed and you guys learn a lot from the video! Stay tuned for the next video and then for a video that, well, covers a life changing event ;)
