LOL. It's like one of those cheap RC cars where you have to back up to turn the other direction.

“People are so picky!” You never fail to make me laugh…keep up the great work!

That's cool, my wife has a 2012 Dodge Journey (almost the same color), I'm not a fan but she loves it & you know what they say; happy wife means she'll leave me the hell alone...or something like that!

“I don’t know where Narnia is, but that’s where it’s going” 🤣. I loved this master class with Scott!

Spring clamps and an enema. Nothing like a wonderful Friday afternoon. Your channel always offers inspiration & perspiration, w/o the constipation...anymore! thank you

Fastest rack and pinion repair I've seen yet, great job!!!

Have a 2017 journey with 94k miles on it just did a 2700 miles road trip issue free actually seems to run smoother now

Nothing says ex-rental car more than a Dodge Journey. Not bad to change the rack though - a lot easier than a Durango.

It would be a great video to see what failed and why in the old rack. One of the greatest channels!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GM X bodies (Citation) used to suffer from this when cold, called it power steering morning sickness. The spool valve (steel) would wear its housing (aluminum) and not want to function until the fluid was warm. Then you could turn both directions. Not sure why this one binds all the time in one direction, but something in the hydraulics is unhappy.

It's pretty cool to see you do mechanic stuff not associated with door removal. I thought the rack and pinion steering replacement was a nightmare job, you make it look easy enough that even Brandon could do it, well maybe not..

You make it look easy. If I attempted a rack replacement it would be a marathon with lots of swearing and bloodied knuckles and neighbors that wouldn't talk to me anymore. Always enjoy your video's.

Great fix, amazed it came apart that easy. Interesting content as always, mixed with wry humour. Have a great weekend with the pizza girl! Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧

OK Scott.....Now I get the "NASCAR Edition" moniker. Keep up the great work!

Good technique on that subframe. My method would have involved more 2x4s and band-aids.

Wow.. a dodge.. well if this isn't off the beating path for you Scott. Well I'm making popcorn.. are we gonna get a thriller, oh wait no a comedy, no no we are in for thee best repair man out there. Stay safe and be well. Have a great weekend.

love your humor Scott, excellent , nice work, great video

Always liked your sense of humour. You're getting better...

I like it when you work on performance cars like this one.

Journeys have been and continue to be parked in family driveways, especially in the Eastern suburbs of Detroit where many Chrysler workers live and work. I would believe it was an inexpensive family driver, especially with a discount.

As a fellow neighbor of the land of Rust and Corruption, another great video.

It seems kind of odd to not see you repairing a damaged vehicle, but this video was super informative (plus the fact that your dry sense of humor makes any video you do worthwhile watching).

Nice touch with the Narnia reference. I think I’ll use that in the future.

“I don’t know where Narnia is....but that’s where it’s goin”. lmao 😆 That’s hilarious 😂

A Masterpiece!! The ending completely subverted my expectations... I just never saw it coming. It won't be long before Disney hires you to write for the StarWars franchise!

Thats nice it comes with the pulley on it. Some reason I despise swapping them over.

Love the humor. Very true about the sockets I worked for Chrysler you will need them all.

Glad you remembered to re collaborate the ugga dugga’s 1 ugga dugga to allow for the extension. 😂 lol

I loved the spoken truth about all the sockets being used LOL. 👍

Timely....just changed the rack in my C6 Corvette race car...a bit more fight to get it out/in with the tight spaces...but fun stuff...I MUCH rather watch YOU do this job than I...hehe

Scott, you never fail to make me laugh with your dry, Bob Newhart style humor. It must be a Chicago thing. Keep up the good work!

i love the Journey's i was a Chrysler tech for years , i know them and all their problems by heart their powertrain are great, they are also cheap to fix and very easy to work on... ppl say they are the worst junk ever but i think Traverse's/Outlook/Acadia/Enclave are way worst than Journey's

Someone actually went into a Dodge dealership and bought this bran new. Amazing

"Click"....cracks me up every time!

Parts washer enema!!! Great video, not near enough opportunities for sarcasm. Take care.

Nice change of pace. Would like to see more like this.

im currently in the process of doing a complete frontend rebuild on my 85 chevy c10, upper and lower control arms, anti sway bar, inner and outer tierods with tierod sleeves, idler arm, pitman arm, springs, bushings, ball joints, everything. the old parts are the oem parts, its never been serviced, everything is 36 years old, all the ball joints were super loose in their sockets, i really dont know how the frontend hasnt given up yet, none of it wanted to come apart, took me 3 days just to do the 4 upper control arms and the 2 springs, im in the middle of the steering now, the 2 upper ball joints were assembled without carter pins despite being castle nut setups. the new oem springs lifted the frontend almost 2 inches and stiffened it up a ton, upgraded from stamped steel to tubular arms with poly bushings, upgraded the rear spring bushings to poly as well

😄😄😄. Love the videos, especially the commentary makes the videos that more enjoyable. I can see why you fill up the haters tears bottle so quickly. 😄😄 keep the videos coming.

Hero (I love this job very much) and I work like you and currently I am in Turkey waiting to enter America I have an interview with an American juror

Always good for a giggle. Thanks for the video.

My 1991 Chevy G20 the steering got intermittently stiff and got worse over a few weeks. The culprit was a U-joint in the steering shaft. These vans have two, one at the box and one closer to the firewall. It must have been a known problem because in 92 or 93 GM added a sleeve over the end of the shaft and those are always clean inside. Of course they also changed the length of the shaft sections so you can't swap one to the older ones. I still have a spare I pulled when I was in North Carolina just to have on hand if I ever needed another.

I enjoy this type of repair video. Thanks.

Uga Duga's ! What are the chances that both of my favorite channels had a moment !!!

Excellent, your work is very good, and may God always bless you in your work

That one looks pretty easy to change I changed a few here in Pennsylvania they was a nightmare the rusty state lol

I’ve heard so many stories about Dodge Journeys from salesmen. It makes me wonder every time I see a journey on the road, “what did they do wrong to end up with one of those.” I’ve heard and seen upside down financing, 18% or more interest rates, etc.

A nice change of pace video. Thanks you your comedy relief today. 😊

Perfect vehicle for a UPS driver

Interesting repair, something different for a change. I see you have daylight saving there in Illinois, which has just ended for the year. That explains why we now get your video one hour later here in Queensland . Fortunately, we don't have daylight saving here in Queensland, otherwise we'd get your video two hours later like in other Australian states that have daylight saving. What happened with the Pontiac from four weeks back? Did you decide to repair it or part it out?

My Tundra has plastic center covers, RAV4 has plastic wheel covers, as does my daughter’s Honda Civic. All the quality I need…

Wouldn't mind more dia/repair videos, was hoping to see you do the alignment!

If it's a Dodge shouldn't it go in the pile?

Your videos are ways interesting ! Thanks

Keep them coming! I enjoy the hell out of videos!

OH! NO BORING BUILD FRIDAY 😳 EGAD😱 What are the HATERS going to hate on❓ At least I enjoyed Boring Repair Friday🤩 Thank you Scott👍

Nice job, Scott. You made a crappy job look easy. FCA vehicles are inexpensive and built that way. I must admit you had me going down the wrong path initially. "Only goes left, from Chicago, difficult to turn"......I thought it was something from the Mayor of Chicago's office or possibly the Cook County DA. Glad you clarified it was the car you were talking about. 😂

A young man I mentor helped me with my car. He got a kick out of the "ugga-duggas" to put the wheels back on.

Now I know why my engine has a cover - it hides all of the troubles!

HEY! You are cutting into WatchWesWork's territory here.

solid gold as usual.

Absolutely superb job keep up the amazing work kind regards mark from billericay in the uk 🇬🇧👍

Aye this was a pretty cool video different than the regular prepaid program

I have replaced a couple of R&P's and the next time I will drop the subframe. If I had only known. Thanks.

If the seals in the rack fail in just the right way you can have a car that will turn left or right without you even touching the wheel. Sometimes when you try to turn in one direction they will violently turn all the way in that direction or even the opposite. Boeing had a few airplanes that wanted to try that trick.

Good to see some one else who liberally uses anti-seize

Somehow I found Chrysler just love NASCAR so much that their rack and pinion built to easy turn left when it failed. I've changed GMs and Fords that usually lost its ability to keep the fluid in or completely loose and knocking.

I’m digging the repair videos. Look out south main auto and Wes lol.

Scott……….is in the house!

Further proof that Scott is not just another pretty face. Well, he is a pretty face, but he's also a pretty darn good mechanic.

Hi I have a Ford F150 2018 with no 50,000 miles on it as the oil consumption problem Ford motor company knows of this problem so they’re doing an update with the longer dipstick and updating the computer still oil consumption with it they know the problem I was wondering what your thoughts were by the way I love watching your program keep up the good work

Scott that open end wrench would make a good hammer to. Remember that !

The Mopar guys are going to be so irritated when they find out that the steering rack numbers don't match. All jokes (at least I hope it's a joke) aside, thanks for this - I need to replace the rack in my 2006 Caddy CTS and it is almost identical in removal procedure....

Привет, мой американский друг! Приятно смотреть на работу мастера!!! Удачи тебе!!!

Not gonna lie, but this was a great video. Maybe if you don't have a build, you could do more of these?

Two comments. 6:31 I'm jealous. My 1989 SnapOn air powered torque wrench doesn't click. I should waited for you Mac version. 7:13 HAHAHA ... So damn true!

fyi, the clean freaks will always come for you ;)

Not your usual fare, but still interesting. Thanks for posting it.

I was just going to tell you to do that haha, love love you videos.

Please do more videos like this

Ditto on the whole Chrysler wanting to use the entire socket rack thing. I just recently finished installing an engine in a later model Town and Country minivan. That thing has FAR too many bolts, and FAR too many sizes! The things you say in the videos are echoed in the shop around here ALL DAY LONG.

Always look forward to your next video. Just wondering what your opinion is of these particular vehicles?

funny, when you were using the impact to remove the steering rack bolts the guy in the garage next to my shop ran his at exactly the same time....HEY surround sound????? lol

Seems like it'd have been easier and less worrisome to just replace subframe with all attachments as one,but instead you struggled with the fear of possibly damaging those priceless heirloom plastic wheelcovers let alone the potential misplacement or theft of them..and still better than the moosetang.

You mean to tell me Dorman played no role in this high quality repair of this astounding vehicle??

16:30 Missed opportunity for some Fast and Furious style shifting!

The Dodge Journey deeply offends me. It's so deep down I can't really put it into words very well. Something about that car just rubs me the wrong way and I get very angry whenever I see one on the road. I want to destroy every single one I see. The dodge Journey is the only cart that makes me feel this way. This rant has nothing to do with your videos, I just have to give it every time I see one online. Keep up the good work.

Lol, Anti seize jumps all the way across my shop when I just think about using it.

Put the engine cover on to "hide all our problems" 😂

From a technical aspect, what determines an ugga-dugga or a click? And is it clicks/ugga-dugga or ugga-duggas/click? Thanks for the video! Convinced me that I never want to replace a r&p myself.

Ugga dugga tool is the best tool :)

Not a build but still interesting to watch. 👍👍👍

He can fix more than just dents... !!! haha Great video Scott!

No haters tears no mr smiley no cavity wax no pizza lady no nomes at all no trim and or bumper install tool yet a proper use of brake clean …. must be an alternate shop day

It's a Chrysler product, the plastic engine cover isn't going to hide all of your problems. A nice car cover might.

gee not that rusty my kid has one she loves it hers is fluid filmed

I really enjoy your repair and bodywork videos, but Sarahntuned is prettier and W-A-Y too neat

It's one of those rare Talladega Editions. All lefts.

I heard that Ugga- dugga thing! LOL I hear that on the South Main Auto video too.

Yes sir cool stuff 👍

This explains the oil painting in the London Museum of a centaur and an elf staring perplexed at a significant pile of rusty u-joints and tie rod ends, while an anthropomorphic deer stairs skyward at a descending pile of left socks several hundred humans lost earlier that day.
