Chris Fixx - thanks a ton dude. Bought a 1998 F150 with 160k miles and after getting shammed by local shop decided to take a shot at doing my own work. Your videos have enabled me to replaced tie rods, shocks, brake lines, complete brake jobs (front and back), points, plugs, belts, and rear spring brackets over the past three years. The truck now has 198k and I drive it on weekends to drive around town, haul, help neighbors, and family members that need use of a truck. Thank you for taking the lead in providing the knowledge to do these jobs.

One good way to prevent excessive wear on your front end suspension and steering components is to whenever possible, let the car move forward or backward a little while turning the wheel. Thereby putting less strain on the system.

It takes less effort to turn the tire if the vehicle is moving. Usually if it were to take 30 lbs of force to turn the wheel when not inmotion it would take 5-8 lbs of force to turn the wheel of you are inmotion ie rolling forward or backwards as you turn. These are not scientific measurements they are just example to give you an idea of the different forces required.

Yesterday, I had to quit my job at meineke. A lady came in with some brake issues so I put her car on the lift and did an inspection. In my findings, I remember watching this and noticed the boot was split on the passenger side outer tie rod. So I lightly grabbed the tie rod and was able to easily move it back and forth. I showed her my findings and recommended a new one. She understood and appreciated informing her. Then, the manager comes to me explaining that all tie rods should move. I looked at this guy like he had to be the dumbest tech in the world to have 25+ years experience and not know thats not supposed to move with your hand. He argued me down about what I didn't know, told me suggesting parts to customer that they don't need will cause him a lawsuit, and that I needed to learn car service better. I told him he was an idiot, packed my tools up and drove off. I know I made the right decision, and I appreciate these informative videos to prevent me from ever working with people with false knowledge. Thanks again!

Actually if you just flexed it side to side and there was no excessive play then yes you were wrong. Did that tech actually look? Did he say that because he knew you were mistaken about how much movement is too much? Irrelevant since you walked off the job. You ain't flagging any hours walking out dude. Find a dealership and learn a brand, its the only way to get ahead in this industry.

james walsh Tie rods really aren’t that expensive. At least outer tie rods aren’t, the issue is an alignment. Depending on where you go they can be upwards of 300 bucks. Whenever you change a tie rod you really need to get an alignment so you save a little doing it yourself but the alignment’s what’ll get you in the end.

Hey Chris, I recently got in a small wreck going about 15mph on the front passenger side wheel. Now it shakes at slow and high speeds pretty bad. I got two new tires and had them balanced, still shakes. The steering wheel feels smooth but the front end shakes. Hope you can help!

Would love to own a collection of ALL your videos on DVD !!! Would be so helpful to take the DVD to my garage and load them on my laptop and perform the work there. Your videos will eventually put the Stealerships and ripoff garages out of business. Thanks for all your help through the years ChrisFix !! :D
