letting a vehicle rust out is just stupidity or laziness. So easy to avoid. Spray under and use just a spraycan with a hose with some oil or wax in cavities, preferably a compressor/air tools. Chain oil is cheapest, fluid film or such is best. NO excuse for just letting a car rot.

@@sergiomarki You're a genius.

thanks your comment is very appreciate it also thank you for visiting this channel, God bless you and your Family as well.

it looks like it was done yesterday, truck is heavyly use for scrap 7 days, could not find bushings any where, got wrong ones online too. thanks for the visit to this channel.

@@JM-AUTO Nice creative repair though!

I was going to say the same thing. Rubber density is a big deal when the load pressure of the vehile leaning squeezes it. A very thin layer of Red&Tacky grease could help keep the bar friction from speeding up the wear. Otherwise, I was impressed with his imagination. I wonder what the repair looks like now that time is coming to the 1st year repair anniversary.

why not just use tire rubber--

The purpose of those sway bar bushings is to hold the bar so it CAN'T turn at those points. This way, the ends of the bar at the links acts as a spring tensioned lever to assist in giving a more firm and controlled suspension. It loses this torque ability if the bar can turn in the clamp that holds the bushings. I used to grease them, but found out that they perform much better if the clamp is bolted tightly to the frame.

thnak you, I appreciate it.

Dislikers there is nothing wrong with this fix. The bushing is just a peice of rubber it will last a long time like this.

@@greenspiraldragon. Lol Fist He need to fix the oil leak , this oil will go to the bushing . Don’t you see .

thank you

LOL

Is it cheaper to buy a new radiator hose?

​. I work at a parts store and most passenger car and small truck bushing sets are about 18-30$.. So not significantly no.. Some vehicles are impossible to find in store.. Based on the overwhelming shottyness here im betting this truck somehow has a different bar on it and that's why they are illusive for this fella. I did bushings on a stock t100 a year ago and got them at local Napa for 23.99.. It is easy to come by old hose but More importantly rad hose is too soft for most cars and just the wrong kinda rubberl I think hydraulic hose or a piece of tire would be better but anything that isn't positively held in will definitely walk out over time...especially given the oil-leakiness of a t100😂

It’s a cartel I tells you!

Yeah I am pretty sure we know the reason those bushings are shot - likely the entire front suspension is more than a bit loose, especially considering the lift this vehicle has on it.

Jus waih for mieh nest video, we gonnah repairh tyerhs lie new forevah!

😂

He just needs to retread those tires with long hoses now.

Ya know, in Mehicho, those tires ARE new...

Thanks 👍 great, again thanks for visiting this channel.

Great point! thanks for the visit to this channel, I appreciate it very much.

thanks for watching and also for the time taken on the channel.

He made a leather rod bearing to replace a steel one? #thingsthatneverhappened...

Yes

I've seen it done - doesn't last forever, but you'd be surprised how strong oiled leather can be.@@manuelherrera3967

​@@manuelherrera3967How exactly does that work?

Great to hear! and thanks for sharing here on the channel, I appreciate your comment so much, be safe and God bless you and your Family as well.

@@JM-AUTO especially those rubber hoses that u used with mesh on it. Awesome, excellent👍🏾

great and thanks for sharing very appreciated

Excellent! thanks for sharing

You are saying that cuz of his accent but is not a comedy channel dude! He is showing a repair and once again sorry for his accent if you got offended or didn't understand feel free to go check another user so you don't get bothered by the accent I'm thankful that I did understand him cuz I'm bilingual!

@@rigorigo03 lighten up, just teasing

This is what we do also in Africa. Since we are poor, and most of our vehicles are old rejects from Europe, Japan and America, we must learn to fix them.

I was thinking Cuba.

I'd say his English is darn near perfect, better than most Americans anyway, obviously very pragmatic and creative, brilliant, love it! I thought at first he was going to use AT205 to restore the rubber because this video was suggested right after watching that.

He kinda said that in the video.

That piece of hose for a bushing is just as good as factory so dunno what your thinking really , that poly or teflon your talking about is fine till it ages , then it breaks into little pieces , rubber wears with age and you can get 1/4 inch sheets of it , you only want one because it will last the rest of your life for jobs like this

im glad you fund a solution, some times new bushings dont make the bolts fit well, thanks for sharing and stay bless.

yes totally agree with you, in this case there was nothing there the bushing was completely gone, thanks for sharing with Otheres here.

Glad It Was Helpful! And Thanks For Visiting This Channel.

There are still a few things that can be cobbled up for no cost. Another was the starter on a 1996 Buick Regal I once had. Of course if someone would turn himself in to a dealer or most independant mechanics, the starter would be replaced with a brand new OEM one for hundreds of dollars. But i was lucky. This starter could be unbolted and fixed. The two copper contact posts for the plunger in the solenoid were worn down and not making electrical contact with the plunger. All I had to do was unsolder the lead wires to each contact and rotate each contact 180 °, reattach the braided wires, then smooth down the contact surface of the plunger and the starter was fixed and lasted the rest of the life of the car.

great job and thanks for sharing with all of US.

im glad you like this video and thanks for sharing, greetings to Yukon and thanks for the SUB.

You are welcome! and also thanks for taking some time on the channel.

yes it looks dangerous, but rear tires were blocked, emergengy brake was engaged, it was only the left tire the right one was on top of ramp n very strong jack stands but still does not look ok n I should have been more careful, thanks for visiting this channel and you made a great point.

Your just angry because your not as smart at fixing cars or anything fixable 😢.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

thanks for sharing that is very appreciated, and also for watching this video.

yes try it, it has worked for me for years and years, thank you for your comment and also for coming to my channel.

You're welcome! and thanks for the time taken on the channel.

hi and thanks for the visit, totally agree about alignment and do other things after this job but this truck is used for scrap metal and is all beat up so the Owner is not willing to do things like that, also the bushing were not found any where because too old and I said it in the video. also i did it long time ago and still like i did it yesterday, but again agree with you on alignment and check other things but not this time on this truck. your comment is very appreciated. God bless you and your Family as well.

This fix will last way longer than you think it will.

This is a great repair! Will last long time

@@blazeboyblazeboy4470 thank you your comment is very appreciated.

worn coil springs lol that would never happen maybe rusted and broken but worn never happens my source ,,,,, me I'm a spring smith ,,,,,,, i have to admit im going right to my car and inspecting my sway bar bushes cheers

you need a bigger hammer

thank you.

@@JM-AUTO Thank you. I'm tired of junk parts so I'm gonna do that next time.

1993 truck, heavyly used for crap metal, he could not find bushing any where including my self so we ordered from ebay and we got the wrong ones so I went ahead and fixed it this way till today it seems like it was done yesterday, it works well. ebay n amazon say they have them, not true. thanks for visiting this channel.

What is the name of the pipe and how can I get one?

have done it on vehicles 5 years ago and so far they don't need onother repair of bushings, these bushings are not available any more any where for this old truck.

@@JM-AUTO I like to use the polyurethane bushings from energy suspension, if that Toyota truck is not listed they also have universal bushings listed by size.

thanks for watching I very much appreciate it.

Great to hear! and thanks for the Sub and watching this video.

Did not find bushing for this truck any where.

If oil touches them they swell and fall apart.

Bicycle innertube material is handy for some things also, like insulating to eliminate squeaks in the dashboard.

I have wondered if using old tires would be good for making motor mounts as well. Innovation and creativity is a God send especially these days when everything cost so much.

@@Sunsetschano Yes, 're-using' is the first/best action in the recycling world, yet most folks don't practice it. For motor mounts, you would need to have something to limit the engine raising in the mount. Some OEM mounts do this by vulcanizing the rubber between 2 metal brackets, if fixing one like that you need to incorporate some type of mechanical restraint.

@@furyfantoo I wish more people took to recycling things. Maybe our planet wouldnt be as dirty then. But I will continually think of a way to make a motor mount out of old tires. Well worth it to me and once I figure it out I will share it with everyone.

@@furyfantoo Hey is that a 66 Coronet on your pic?
