I replaced my entire suspension because the stealership wanted a total of $4000 for parts plus labor I laughed bought the kit and did it myself so $590 car feels like new thank you chris

The MOST I've ever done are oil changes, before now. Replaced inner/outer tie rods, sway bar links and strut/coil assemblies on both sides of my mother's van using Chris' videos as a guide. Took the van in for an alignment. Service Manager calls asks to see me and says, "I don't know who did the work on this van," *gulp* "but they did a great job. It came in tracking really straight and my tech only needed to make minor adjustments. Most time when they come in, they're so bad we wonder how they got here without the wheels falling off." DAYUM, Chris - these vids WORK!

Only in a few months I went from that to complete maintainance work, including brakes and tie rods, even changed some hoses and flushed my cars systems. I am going to start to study automotive mechanics as I got so much into this. Thank you.

@braydenphillips5080 2 жыл бұрын

Technician here. I agree with most of it. Only thing I'd change is hit the knuckle where the tie rod mounts to the knuckle instead of the top of the old tie rod. If you aren't careful, the top of it when hit could bow out, making it near impossible to get out

I'm so happy I found your channel. No only have I saved money doing minor fixes on my own now, it gives a good amount of satisfaction doing things myself rather than a mechanic. Not going to lie though, I still have a garage change my oil during the winter. It's worth a little extra to not lay on that cold concrete. LOL

That what i do and when i take the car to the garage for the alignment most of the times they tell me that they actually didnt make any changes. Just hope this is helpful.

Good video. A little tip that will make things easier should the tie rod need to be replaced in the future, plus will help with aligning, is to put a little grease or anti seize on the threads before you thread the tie rods together. That will help prevent corrosion that will seize the tie rods together.

Another good trick to get the tie rod ball joint end out of the 'suction' on the knuckle is to hit the knuckle on the side with the hammer where the tie rod is attached. I am referring to the part in the middle of the screen at 2:55. It makes the tie rod pop out pretty easy. I used to use a pickle fork, but now I do it this way, and the pickle fork sits in the tool box.

@chrisfix 8 жыл бұрын

Maverick Xeo Thanks for sharing. You never want to hit the knuckle because it can cause stress fractures. You always want to hit the tie rod itself. A pickle fork is even better but most people dont have one so a hammer to the stud with the nut on it is simple and effective.

Well instructed video! Once again, i have another video request which it may or may not be on the list yet but it would be installing an aftermarket radio deck/unit and installation of an aftermarket muffler such as a flowmaster which usually isnt a direct fit.

Hey Chris, I am going to be changing the inner drivers side tie rod on my car soon. Do I need to replace both outer tie rods in addition to doing both sides of the inner tie rods? Thanks!
