I donate my car to show other sounds and systems. That will show case noses that mean suspension sway bars and more. Doing repairs now.
👍👍👍
She’s my favorite mechanic to watch. She’s passionate about what she does and does a great job explaining things. Like the Boston accent too!
I agree. Everybody loves Sue.
Boo!!
@@moisesdosramos7529 Not me
@@moisesdosramos7529 Sure, we do.
She’s awesome! Every school needs a auto teacher like her. Honestly she makes me feel so confident in my projects. Great job 1A Auto!
A lot of these repairs I can't do on my own. No shop. No ramp. Living in an apartment complex, no private garage, no electrical outlet, no storage for equipment or tools, but good knowledge in the videos for future reference or to bring up eith my mechanic. I like the mechanic in the video. She sort of speaks in layman's terms, so I understand what she is explaining. Very knowledgeable. 👍.
All you need is a jack , jack stands , a socket set few wrenches and your good too go maybe a breaker to help loosen the tire lug nuts
Same here sadly
You're literally making excuses. I live in NYC in an apartment and keep simple tools to do all the work on my car myself while freezing my ass off on the sidewalk. You don't need a garage, electrical outlet, no private garage, etc. All you need is the determination to do the job.
Try to find a spot in your neighborhood you can do some work at and not bother anyone.. unless it is against the rules of the neighborhood and they enforce it.
Sue is my favorite tech. She does a great job explaining things in a way that just makes sense. Just subscribed to see if she will be on more often :D
You won't be disappointed.
This lady does a real good job explaining things you can tell she loves doing this
You are SO awesome. I am a female who has to work on my own f150. You have opened my eyes to a lot of things. But you make it look so EASY!! it's still hard for me, but you definitely draw the picture of "how things work". Thank you
I absolutely hate working on cars because of how intimidating it can be. The way you explain all of these things really helps. Thank you.
Great video. 1A Auto has helped me diagnose, order the correct part from them, and repair many issues with my vehicles. The real time video of the problem helps a lot.
I haven't been able to diagnose the problem with my Maxima for months after watching many many many videos. Finally, someone has answered my questions with clarity! Thank you ma'am
I love seeing these real world issues and how to fix them. So over those shows pitching $10000 tools that they only show being used on new cars.
More rusty old vehicle repairs please!
You're awesome Sue! You speak well, you have interest and passion and you explain things clearly! Thank You
I think she just solved an issue I've been experiencing at high speeds as well. Whether or not this is the case, the information was invaluable because I was out of ideas. Ironically I just happened on this video today. Thank you, Sue and team. Yall are exceptional.
Functional explanations like this are the best. Well done.
Another outstanding video from you guys. I just redid the entire front suspension on my crown vic. All went well but the Pittman arm was a bear. Had to cut it and drive a chisel in it to get it off .
I’m having exactly this noise after doing some “unplanned” offroading and was freaking out!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
One of the BEST suspension noise diagnostic videos I have seen. Excellent job 👍
I love the way she explained the situation on motor vehicle problem. Makes it easier to understand. ❤❤❤
Awesome video! You are a natural teacher! I learned so much! Thanks.
I think you have the best video on diagnosing suspension noises on CZcams. Thank you for making it clear and succinct

I have 2 foresters like the one in the beginning of the video and have always had slight wobble at high speeds. I always saw the control arm bushings were dry but Mechanics told me not to worry about it. Great info👍
Foresters are notorious for control arm bushings to go bad.
I have a 2010 forester 123k miles does the same but mine is bumpy too.
I really like this mechanic! She got into every problem I am working on this weekend! I bought 1A parts on Amazon and am excited for them to arrive. Thanks for all of the mazing videos!!!!!
Best tutorial on front suspension I've watched yet and I've watched a lot of them
Swear, these videos from you guys teach me A LOT! I practically learned everything i know from you guys! Thumbs up and thank you guys A LOT!
This gal is on point and a dynamic speaker directly to you like you are there. Not a presentation. Keep it up.
+Robert Vanderbaan Thanks for the feedback!
This video popped up at the right time! I have a sound and thanks to this video I have a good idea of what might be causing it! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
09 scion xb.. both tie rod ends are ripped letting debris get it. These guys are legends with these kids man. Props always. I'm getting mine done..
Very good video! Maybe the best 1A video to date. Great teacher. Good education. Thanks.
8:35 am. I have never seen this mechanic before.
At first I thought oh no.
But she was excellent 👍
Thanks so much for your video!! Losing my mind trying to figure out what was causing the strange wum-wum-wum loud road sound in the front end of my 2001 Silverado ext cab 2WD. Was considering the wheel bearing assembly might be to blame. Still have to wiggle the wheel and test for that. Tires are showing a little cupping.. been making the sound for about a month or so now. Just this week it started that nasty creaking sound you so clearly demonstrate in your video. Got to jack the thing up tomorrow and do some investigating. Thanks for the wonderful information!!
You are amazing mechanic. So much experience and simple explanation 👍. Thank you
Very good teaching. You covered 2 things that 2 of my vehicles are suffering from right now
5:39 at the Honda dealership those were always getting reccomended or replaced. Some years required the entire arm. Great video
This is very helpful. I just replaced front struts/shocks on my odyssey, now the steering shakes over 60 pmh. Now I know what to check for.
I love you brake it down like no other did. Thank you
First time seeing this gal in your videos. She is great. Best one at communicating, in my humble opinion.
Her and lenny are my favorite technicians
I had a control arm start to come apart from rust. I was surprised because the car was in really good shape with low mileage. Fortunately I found it before it found me. I got new parts from this channel. She’s been good since.
i'm from new england and i swear you have to be related to my high school tech ed teacher!! hahaha Best host on 1A ! :)
Good video. I had a rattle in my Volov V70 recently, and it was sway bar links. Done my control arms 3 times. Doing tie rod ends right now - I have sounds when I make left turns - left inner one is bad.
EXCELLENT Breakdown of Everything!! I Enjoyed her Presentation. Thank you.
another great video by you Sue. Thanks.
You make these stuff looks so easy 😌
A lot of very good information. I like all the visuals, and explanations that followed them. 👍

Those control arm bushings sound exactly like mine so pretty sure that's my issue, thanks so much my usual mechanic just said everything looked fine when I asked him about it
Amazing video.
Clearly explained.
Loved watching.
Luv your diy vids your cover so much and very easy to follow ,thank you
Thank you for those tips. You are very knowledgeable.
She’s the best! Love her videos!
Thank you for clear and concise information.
Outstanding explanation & diagnosis
Awesome video, well explained and easy to understand with the highlight on how the parts work. I've been looking for an explanation like this for a while. Thank you Liked and Subscribed.
Man you are great. Please keep making videos you're very detailed and great at explaining.
Let it be known...you are loved! Keep up the great videos
This is a great video! This is the best mechanic video I've come across, well done!
+Mark Szabat Thanks for the feedback!
For a Taurus/Explorer/Flex, its not easy to replace a lower control arm bushing, need a heavy duty press, easier to replace entire arm assembly. Another great video
Yeah I have a bad bushing on my passenger control arm need too change before this road trip from Florida to Ohio. Change many things the clunking noise won’t go away give my second thoughts bout driving that far
Great job Sue!
Another great video of information sue.... Way to go...
Well done, Sue!
Great stuff. My highlander is going in tomorrow for some thump clunk in the front. We’ll see what they say.
Excelente información presente cordial saludo desde Navojoa Sonora México
Brilliant explanation and very clear video ❤
I saw some lateral movement in the lower ball joint also probably causing the "clunking" noise. In my experience these parts usually all go bad at the same time or one right after another. There's most likely the whole lower control arm including the lower ball joint that you can buy and replace at once fixing both problems. One more thing I might add is that once you hit 100000 miles or close to it they start failing.
Very informative woman about car maintenance.
I got excited to do this to my Pilot! Do you have a video on the instructions?
I love you lady. I will definitely trust my car repair with you. You are very passionate about your job.
Gosh sister! I wish I could have you go through my 2010 Ford Ranger. So far I've got 4 news tires, new sway bar links, new ball joints, new axle, new cv joint, new brakes, new rotors. It's feeling real tightened up and solid but what I've had 3 different mechanics looking for is an obvious clunk in the drivers side front wheel. Before all this work it was random, on flat highway and and 6 miles of dirt road I drive a couple times a week, and especially on hard turns both right and left, both in and out of 4wd. After all the work listed I did not hear it on 45 miles of highway home from the mechanic but after putting it in 4wd to get in my ¼ mile of snow and mud driveway the same damn noise is still there! This has drained me in every way imaginable. And still a clunking noise! I've yet to get it back out in the highway to see if i hear it there. I can't imagine all these mechanics in up to their elbows on all these projects haven't figured it out and fixed it yet !
Your vid was helpful.
Best mechanic on CZcams
Excellent tutorial!
She did it. She convinced me to subscribe to this channel. I am not a DIYer.

Thank you sis. Well done. Tidewater VA
Very informative. Thank You.
I need to get under one of my vehicles. Well done 👍
Primera vez que veo una mujer mecanica ademas de explicar bien es guapa, eh visto apenas un par de videos de ella y me parecen estupendos ya aprendi porque mi carro tiene ruidos en la suspension. Felicitaciones y gracias.
My sway bars clunking BAD on my passenger side in the front . I was glad to find out it was cheap and not a major life threatening issue
Very good explanation!
Good explanation of the mechanics
Where are these people when I need to bring my vehicles in? Hearing the sounds really helps me.
Thank you so much for this video سپاسگزارم
I love your presentation.
Most informative video i have seen!!
Informative 100%
Clear and practical
First time watching this video so enjoyed it well executed n the lady definitely knows her stuff. Her voice goes well to ha
Thanks. Have nice day👍🙏🏾
Yes, I did love this video. Thanks!
Thank you for this advice you did a good job👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video super informative!
I’m dealing with one right now on a 2004 Dodge Neon SXT 2.0l with only 96,000 miles on it and it’s driving we nuts. I already pinned down the side and that would be the passenger side. I have jacked it up and grabbed the tire top to bottom and got no movement at all then I did left to right and I got movement something is telling me the bearing. I think I’m going to take a look at the control arm bushing again or should I say a little closer look then I did the last time.
Sue your the GOAT
Thank you for sharing your videos. May be you can help me diagnose my car problem.
I have creaking or groaning noise issues on my Mazda CX-5 2014 automatic transmission. The groaning noise comes from the front when I hit the brake pedal to a stop and when I release the pedal every single time. I lubricated already the caliper slide pins and brake shims on the front brakes and cleaned the rotors as well using brake cleaner. I put the car on test drive but the groaning noise did not go away. Strangely this noise occurs when the car is on Drive or Reverse. But when I switch the gear to neutral before stopping and hit the brake for a slow gradual stop, the noise does not happen. I feel source of the noise is not from the brakes anymore. It only happens when either Drive or Reverse is engaged and pressing and releasing the brake pedal even when the car is not moving at all. I had a similar issue on my previous cars (Jaguar S-Type 2005 and Honda City 2010) but never had a chance to get it fixed because I sold them away.
Would appreciate your insight and suggestions on this issue and which area of the car I should look into to get to the source of the groaning noise and to fix it.
Thank you.
I got this twice on my Honda Element rear. Rear sway bar bushings. Cheap fix
I have 2005 toyota tundra sr5 v6 4.0l
I keep getting rotor problems , I got front rotors from the dealer, and the brake pads from orally OEX
Wagner OEX Ceramic Brake Pads.
Everything looks good in the front ,
What do you recommend
I just found my sway bar link broken on driver's side front but sounded like it was on passenger side.
Should I up date bushings also? Seem a little loose but not bad. Only $20 each probably will.
Great information thank you
Thanks for the video. 😎
I have a 2012 ford focus with front struts and sway bar links that are 1.5 years old and i just put in new lower control arms...I thought the new control arms would fix my slight vibration and inside tread cupping, but it has not..Then I have noticed that I here clunking which i think is from the strut mount. i do remember hitting a bad pot hole months ago and wondering if that destroyed the bearing..However, after jacking the car up and pulling on the wheel and forcing it up with a pry bar under the tire, everything seems tight and I can not reproduce the clunk. Only here it when hitting holes in the road. Any advice? Hate to do all the work to take the strut out and still not be able to tell if its bad.
Good job very thorough
Love ALL UR INFORMATIVE & Great Videos 💯💪💯💪💯💪💯👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Keep Up The Great Work 👍
