A dollar store pool noodle on the jack handle will save alot of headaches.
A pool noodle around the rim of a 5gallon bucket works also
@grncoup yep. pipe inso at Home depot
Yep great idea.
I'll just keep a rag tied to the handle and adjust it to the right height.
@@edwardautrey3671 good for pooping
wow a mechanic that actually torqued lug nuts, everytime I've had a new car or say worked on a car for the first time the damn lug nuts are seemingly welded on, these workshops just bolt them on without a care in the world but you, you actually torqued down the important parts, earned a sub for that.
Haha!!! impact go ugga dugga
Beam style torque wrench are the best. My cluck type wasn't clicking lol
Anyone else randomly get recommended this? This video was very nice to watch!
Good mechanics are a joy to watch. The ultimate problem solvers.
One thing you want to do when tightening bushings is do it a ride height. You can jack up the brake rotor with your floor jack until the weight of the car is on it. Then tighten the bushings.
I have dealt with Detroit Axle suspension parts myself in the past. The parts from them actually seemed better than the original factory parts. They were made with heavier metal than the factory parts.
I have Detroit Axle quick struts and shocks on our minivan. They work just fine. They may not be top of the line, but they're better than the worn parts that were on there.
Detroit Axle parts are trash and the customer service is horrible. They do not honor their warranty. Lost $238 for 800 scary miles. Went with KYB and have not had any issues. You get what you pay for.
Kudos young man! I've done repairs outdoors in cold weather and I appreciate your PAIN and professionalism.
Love your videos man! Keep the good work
As a young mechanic I definitely find lots of value !
Thanks
I dont know about anyone else but I HATE those lug nuts with the caps on them.
Engineered by Satan himself.
I know mine came off I didn't even know it was a cap
ya need to get a pinch weld puck for your jack and stands man
Very good ! Living here in the NE it kills me seeing the undercarriage of vehicles in your part of the country. Take Care.
its so nice! I feel bad for anyone dealing with rust!
I used to live in Massachusetts and now in Minnesota. I HATE rust lol.
Ash to ash and dust to dust, if you live in Michigan your cars going to rust.
One advantage to being skinny...you can fit inside a wheelwell. 9:04
I can relate..
Lucky for my chubby ass i have a skinny friend who always helps me work on my cars for occasions like this 😂
Still waiting for his first time he says ugga-duggas while torquing with the impact
True. Most tire shops just torque the hell out of wheel nuts to cover their ass. My 75yr old Dad had to get some kids to change a tire for him. When he got 4 new tires installed I told him to get them torqued to spec. Months later I went to swap tires for him. Took everything I had to break the lugnuts loose. The bastards was all I could say!
Awesome job bro 👏
Nice work!!
Great vid got to put strut/spring on wife’s 13 Buick Verano
Quick struts are so easy to replace. Easy money for you.
Lookin good! 👍👍
Pool noodle on the jack handle works well
That 1/2” torque attachment looks sick! Also nice seeing someone else with a Milwaukee/knipex addiction lol
I love it! its all i use now
@@RoadsideRescue me too. Im a plumber so i use the water pump pliers on a daily basis. I prefer the knipex without the button but those are definitely nice for a more precise adjustment since it has so many settings lol.
Great content.
I'm in the Northeast, tip on the rusted nuts, (1) bring an acetylene torch so you can heat it, but before you use that, take a small wire brush and clean the threads thoroughly.
What an easy job the shock comes fully assembled... In my country we take off the spring the top bearing and mount it on the new shock..
Hey, dude. Grab you a decent tool bag!! That’s the key to not going back to the truck for me. Awesome content. Just did control arms / strut/shocks brakes on a Sentra last year. Same exact process. Love this stuff. 👍🏻
nice!
Imventory sheet or record book of tools used for jobs and vehicle type and then u can grab all nessesary tools prior to departure from vehicle
He’s so smooth with it
good vid
You can put a wrench on the back side of the bolt and use the impact to back the bolt all the way out.
Boy if you were in Boston, man I'd get to work on my trailblazer.
Good videos as always. Side note does anyone else hate this new CZcams app layout? They have a giant plus sign where the notification bell use to be. So I always try to check my notifications and then keep getting asked if I want to create a video lol
haha yeah its weird.
good video
Thanks for the visit
First use a steal brush to go over the threads of the sway bar link before taking it off. Works like a charm.
try using wurth silicone spray (the one with picture of car seats) on anything made from rubber...it works like magic
New subscriber to ur channel👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for subbing!
I used those quick struts mount went bad in a year! I’m from the Detroit area too 😂
I would love to 'retire' and do this type of work... but it would be an absolute nightmare here in the 'rust belt'. in Utah, what a dream... no rust.
truly
Could have left top sway bar link attached. Especially if it didn't come of with impact.
And when you do struts drive on them for a few times to let them settle in before you do an alignment cause if you do an alignment once they settle the alignment will be off.
great when you live in a sunny climate , here in the uk all the nuts and fittings would be tight and rusty lol
Here’s an idea! ! They make lift rams for box trucks get one of those and wheel your tool box off that ?
👍👍
No Shade man but I wouldn't have torqued with the tire in the air unless someone was applying the brake. Good video though. Helps a lot of people.
Here in texas if the temperature drops below 80 we call that freezing since most of the time is at least 90s to over the 100s lol 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
You should have charged the rear absorbers. Up and down oush 3 to 5 times.
You should have a foam mat to sit on.
When I was younger, it was easier to just deal with it, but carrying around a hundred more pounds, I now couldn't agree more
Direction of bolts matters. The general rule is to shoot the bolts in the “in direction”. This is for any bolt on a vehicle. Its kind of hard to explain but hopefully that makes sense.
rule i thumb. on the strut nuts at least, but i do it always. you should spin the nut side in case the bolt side has teeth to hold it in place.
A Little silicone spray helps a lot on the rubber fittings, including exhaust hangers for installing or removing.
Also agree with the pool noodle or even some of the pipe insulation sleeves(what I currently use,will try the pool noodle when I have to replace it.)
If you don't have a set of "parrot pliers" get some! You can hold the end link which will help it not spin.
As for the brand of parts, eh they will get the job done for a while. As long as he isn't wanting to drive it like a race car he will be fine.
Ill check those pliers out!
@@RoadsideRescue cta 7878 are the ones I use. They help with all but the truly stubborn links. You know the ones that give no other options besides cutting off.
I keep a tube of Dielectric grease on hand for electrical connectors.
So did we forget to work on the front brakes like we mentioned in the beginning of the video ?!!
You are great at this job what state you in
jesus how easy is those parts in the uk we have to strip the coil springs and the top mounting
Wow! You can drive upside down.
Man, what I wouldn't do to work on a 'rusty' Utah car. The cars here in North Dakota are so rotten even after two years on the road.
Come to the "Salt Belt" in NY.
Living in salt lake I have one car that I use year round and then another that’s a garage queen, summer only purchased from CA. It is so damn weird to own a car that hasn’t ever seen salt. EVERY BOLT UNSCREWS. It’s madness.
Sometimes the wire brush is all that you need for the rust.
Get the Milwaukee cut off tool he’ll with those sway bar link just cut them off if they spin
I dont know if anyone comment. But personally I live in michigan and I live like 15mins from the main "Detroit axle" distributor is at. Those parts are hella cheap. Not in a good way.
Never buy Detroit Axle parts. They are trash and they do not honor their warranty. I lost $238 for 800 miles of scary driving.
You can probably get yourself some torque sticks so you don’t have to keep torquing down lug nuts. Idk how they work on electric impact though.
How much did you charge for suspension installation ? Just the struts
Got an idea for not having to go in and out of the truck a bunch. So get a small tool box, cut a flap in the side of your rig the same size as the box. Now your on your own with the cab work, I'm just the idea man 😅
I need that milwaukee impact in my life my ryobi is getting abit past it 😂
Always best to listen to your dad! Did you ever lose a lug nut? 😉
probably haha
Earnest may i ask what did you charge for this job as i have to get this same thing done on my 04 navigator switching from air to standard coils. I am just curious what something like this cost you're customer as a comparison in my local area Albuquerque NM.
I would google specs for each car before i get out of the truck. The bolts on my car are splined. You only turn the nuts. You put the impact wrench on the bolt and spun it off the nut. Also, they are supposed to face a certain way. In addition, the torque specs are different for each bolt/nut on the links and knuckle. I tightened the top mount bolts too much and it contributed to noise. I backed them off and torqued to spec. Noise gone. Front struts are important to get right.
you ever thought of building a ramp for tool cart
Does it need an Alignment after the suspension replacement?
yes it does.
Cart make a ramp pull out type.
How much do you charge for lower control arms I need a hand!
I see you using Detroit axel struts. I’ve never used them in the past, someone please comment on how good Detroit axel struts are. They are very cheap on Amazon and eBay. Cheap struts makes me worried.
I think these part are geared more toward GM vehivles... they are ok..therebreal pads sucks and there rotors are ok
is that brand Detroit axel any good?
I’ve heard good and bad
Pipe insulation around jack handle.
You didn't have to take the top of the sway bar like off you were taking the strut out anyway
I though of that also.
why dont you get a lift gate for the back of your truck so you can use a cart?
What do you think about duralast quick struts? I installed a set on a rav 4 a few weeks back and I was pleasantly surprised. It actually rode really good and there was zero noise from the struts. Way better than monroe, their shocks are garbage and most of their quick struts are even worse. Then again I've only done duralast quick struts once compared to the millions of times I've dealt with monroe
I like them.
i actually like my monroe quick struts
Just curious, why do you use the torque gauge instead of a torque wrench?
i find its more accurate and its audible and easy to use. overall i like it much better
Do you have to replace sway bars when you do struts? Or was that just customer preference?
Up here in the rust belt sway bar links must be replaced because you can’t get them off without a grinder. Unless you get lucky and have a flat on the back to hold them with a wrench. You do not have to replace sway bar links if they aren’t worn out so no. Usually they’ll Clunk if they go bad.
I probably wouldn’t put a customer’s hubcaps face down on the concrete. They could get scratched and the customer might complain.
How about the front brake noise you mentioned, didn't he want that repaired also?
yes in the future
Get yourself a piece of pipe insulation to slip over the jack handle
Get some foam matts to kneel on, your knees will last a hell of a lot longer.!
My friend has a cargo van instead of windows he has lockable doors he can open from outside and he has his tool boxes there no need to go in van at all i thought it was a slick setup
sway baar link i just drill them out
Do you charge a service fee on top of labor and parts?
i guess you could say that. It all comes out to the same just depends on how I wriyte it out I guess.
Hi Earnest Do you carry a press in your truck for wheel bearings? Really enjoy the videos
He peobably has a hub grappler if not he should get one nice tool no pressure required in the truck but a 20 ton harbor freight press would fit in the truck but what most people don’t understand a press is worthless without plenty of adapters cups and angle iron
I asked him before and he takes wheel bearings to a shop to press in and out for him.
@@rustbeltautorepair man he needs to buy a hub grappler 450$ for a new one that’s like 10 Bearings at a shop and no running around
i do have a grappler!
@@RoadsideRescue so the other guy is a idiot that says you take them to a shop to be pressed
I want my car to ride an inch and a half off the ground. Can you do it?
lol i remember seeing one of those once, god i hate hubcaps and why doesn't it have a logo in the middle
Aftermarket
Good way to get ur legs chopped off, beware u never know! Safety first good job
It looks newer than a 2001 after 2004 they changed
Man, you gotta have a lot of faith in jackstands to stick your legs under the rotors like that. Yeah I know, you also leave the jack in place as a backup, but still...
What else is he meant to do? Axles are good enough along with the jack there also
I slide the tire under the car body in case the jack falls
Customer needs an alignment after replacing suspension, no?
Yes
@@taylor1091 Cool, thanks. BTW, I'm quite impressed with your ability to go out on a call for a car issue for any random make/model of car, not knowing what to expect, and then fix it without benefit of a shop full of tools. You'd be the friend everyone wants to have when the zombie apocalypse hits and the infrastructure collapses :-)
Why are you rushing? The guys got the money...
i love ya video but you seem bored bro put some energy turn thing into comedy or positive it will entertain us :P by the way great vid keep it up !!
looks to me like you dont use any air tools. just wondering why not.
Hooking up and running a compressor would probably be more trouble than it's worth
That’s not a 2001, 5th
Gen. Not even a 6th gen based on body style. Much newer Max.

For your jack
Not being critical of you but how do you handle call backs cause I have uses those cheap quicksteuts and they never last more than like 6 months to a year
The customer bought what he wanted so I'd assume he would charge again if they go bad lol.
@@rustbeltautorepair try explaining that parts are crap bad out the box I had a customer with a cadillac v6 needed a coil to change it intake had to be removed so he bought all 6 was white box eBay crap installed they all threw codes I said if you want it done right need Bosch coils so 300$ later we installed 6 coils even though I suggested just replace the bad one but he said I can get 6 cheaper than you can buy just the one so let’s do that dumbasses
@@TheMechanicj all for like 60 bucks lol they just dont understand if you tell them is cheaper on the parts but you been paying more on labor by replacing same parts over in over do to cheaply made 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 just tell them like those cows is mooo mooney to my pocket 😎
@@MiguelMartinez-hm1hg was 39.99 on eBay for all 6 to be exact the Bosch coils were 45$ on rock auto
@@TheMechanicj 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ so where was the savings 🤣😂🤣😂
Come on you put dudes hub cap upside down so it can get scratched up, not very professional.
Do you accept fan mail? I have something I would like to send you and think you would have a lot more better use out of it than me since you work outside and some what brand new Kinda big. that mail address in the description is that a good mailing address? Do they accept big packages? Thank you
