  • Part 2 is HERE! Oil Soaked Rack and Pinion Bushings! Torn and Mushy! 1998 Ford Mustang Gt 4.6 • Long Term Oil Change D...
    This 1998 Mustang needed a suspension check after years of sitting. It has low miles for its age but needs a rebuild in a few ares. We need to check the ball joins, sie rods, rack and pinion, as well as the shocks and struts. The customer states that the steering is binding, a little disassembly will help to diagnose the issue by isolating components.

    @alfredocarpaneto5976 Před 9 měsíci +37

    I honestly like the voice over Ray. You are in a different emotional state and have the benefit of hindsight so the commentary helps us know what was going through your mind, and your wit is a great tool here, you can evaluate your own work and make it entertaining, what mistakes were made etc and most importantly how you could have done it better. That is like a bonus video especially for the DIY audience. I would do one of these each week or every other week. It works.

    • @glenniz1
      @glenniz1 Před 9 měsíci +3

      Maybe one or two videos a month, of course at your discretion Ray, but going over a video or two, talking about the repair, installation or whatever you decide and how it could have been done differently in order to facilitate the speed, cost or longevity of what was done to the vehicle. Also, updates as far as how a certain part was modified, (due to no replacement part available), or the modification done for performance gains, etc., etc.!
      No matter what Ray, we'll continue to watch your videos brother, your wit, humor and knowledge is truly why we always come back for more..... You've simply become a part of everyone's family!

    After taking a few hours to replace both lower control arms on my escape with no power or special tools, it makes me feel a little better seeing a professional struggle like me. So many of the videos online make it look easy. I'm convinced they remove the part off camera, replace it, then record its removal a second time to make it look simple.

      I have a feeling somebody drove that Stang more than once in Daytona Beach? Or maybe it spent a couple of winters in Detroit?

      I believe even on the good videos on CZcams there's a lot of editing. They say he, here's the bolt, take it off, you can see for 5-10 seconds they are struggling, then all of a sudden it's off. Really? I understand they can't put that in for time sake, but at least say so. Doing an alternator on my V6 Camry, it was a nightmare reaching the lower bilts, yet, they zipped them off on the video 😂.yeah, editing.

    As far as just being some guy, I would say that you are quickly becoming a legend. I only watch Bob Ross when I need to sleep. Your videos are relaxing to watch because we know that you have skills that we all can learn from. You do not put us to sleep though!

    Actually, you are right with the use of the claw hammer. Ball Pein hammers have a wooden shaft, but a claw, such as yours, is a one piece forging, which is MUCH stronger. Nice job btw, I admire your patience. Glad that WU continues to supervise.

    I don't mind the voice-over. It's better than no video at all. And yes, you are the 'Bob Ross' of mechanic videos! Love watching your antics in the shop and your personality and crazy ways are what keep us coming back for more!
    Keep up the great work, Ray! Catch you on the next one! 👍👍👍

      I also fix stuff before it falls off or breaks. Because I let my 2 oldest (19 & 17) daughter's drive my cars. I do not want them to fail while one of them are driving.

    Cresent Wrenches and Claw Hammers are tools . When I went to work for the railroad as a Mechanic for the track working equipment I was given a crescent wrench , hammer and chisel . I was in the Air National Guard as a mechanic in the motor pool and I took a crescent wrench to put in my tool box . The motor sergeant asked what the hell was I doing with a crescent wrench , turns out my crescent wrench got used a lot while I was in the guard . Tools of all types have a purpose . Great video .

    Wow! Those wheels show a lot of curb rash damage!
    Anti-seize, I use it on almost every bolt.
    And no, I don't care that it changes my torque settings. Never had a problem with that being an issue.
    I don't like rust and I don't like bolts that break off!!!

      I am in Maine, and I use anti-seize/never-seize on everything except for lug studs because I don't want a wheel falling off on the interstate at 80mph.

    As a former mechanic I think people should take there vehicles to ray. I have watched his videos for a long time and he is a caring and he is very intelligent when it comes to working on cars. he knows what he is doing and cares about his work and stands behind it. I would like to think him for all his videos he let's us see and caring about people's vehicles .

  • @glenniz1
    @glenniz1 Před 9 měsíci +4

    I'm actually enjoying the voiceover Ray, it's a cool change of pace. What's truly most important though, is the information we learn about the work being done, I've never worked on this generation of Mustang, so your mention of bolt head size vs nut size is very helpful, also the fact that the axle is relying on the shock absorber to hold it in place, and many other useful tidbits of information we gain, as you go along throughout the video!
    I'll be sixty four years old tomorrow, and have been working on cars and dirt bikes since I was ten, so even after fifty four years of wrenching, I still listen intently to what you have to say as you go along.... I'm always in the learning mode!!!👍

  • @randymalnar4889

    Hey Ray, here’s a suggestion, use the puller to only apply pressure but whack it with a hammer while under pressure. You can save your pullers life by only applying slight pressure and let your hammer do the main work. Most of the time, any mechanical bind can be solved by applying kinetic energy such as a hammer or your impact punch.

    Pickle fork came into the conversation, my friends son went to the house and bought out some forks. He asked his dad witch one it was. Dad said he,d get it.
    Came back with the tool and his son looked confused.
    We all laughed. Now his son is a diesel mech.
