@@ericcorse is there a brand name you use? I spent my adult life in Vegas so I don't know rust. I now live in Illinois! I learned a lot from watching you deal with corrosion! Thank you!
I am an independent mobile mechanic and I enjoy all off your diagnostic videos and teaching. Although we aren't given credit for it but my girlfriend and I are responsible for the local technical school restarting their automotive skills classes after not having one for over 7 years now. You are a natural instructor.
You always go just that bit further for your customers, bolts/plates/bushings all get a protective spray to slow down the rust. Always a quality repair.
Just wanted to thank you for this video. Wife and kids got in the car last week and she said she heard a noise like a gun went off in the garage! I looked underneath later and saw paint flakes all around under the left rear spring. I thought I was going to need spring compressors and it would be really involved. After seeing your video I had the confidence to do it myself. Looked forever for a decent price spring and finally got a Kia spring for $110 shipped. Got it done tonight. Thanks for your videos!
If Napa did want to sponsor you would have to submit your videos for their approval before posting them, it would be one huge pain in the you know what I'm sure, not to mention you be beholding to a big corporation, not a good place to be I would think. Anyway, you got lucky with the ease of parts change, no broken bolts or messed up bushings, gotta love it when a plan comes together.....at least on the one side.....perfect ending! Thanks for the video.
I have 6 cars between me and my wife. Non of which you have covered anything I can use but I still sit here and watch 30 minute videos of you wrenching. So damn entertaining and satisfying to see you knock these jobs out! P.S. this customer is going to pay dearly for all that Fluid Film. Because of you I am buying a few cans and damn they are expensive! Just like the Kroil.
Nova Scotia van. Replace the brake lines and calipers. That was fun. Hard line fabrication. It worked and was compliant. Took some imagination. I feel you, Eric.
I love how you discuss complex physics terms and make geeky physics jokes. Usually not something your local mechanic/tech usually jokes about. Thanks for always making me laugh.
14:52-14:53 Loved it when those two 1” square rust chips popped off the upper shock mount. In all seriousness, I was REALLY impressed with how well that car came apart. I guess Hyundai/Kia’s metallurgy has improved.
Had occasion to speak to a person the other day ... last name Wride. Couldn't help myself and called them W-Ride. I blame SMA!!! THANKS Mr. O for another engaging and entertaining video!
The family that owns that van must be just as loyal to it as it is to them. It seemed like the van knew you were trying to help so it didn't fight you. I'm sure it's probably looking forward to many more soccer games and trips to the ice cream shop with its family. Maybe 250k more miles of them!
Hi Eric and Mrs. O was going to try and find you next week to say hello but your some 4.5 hours out of New York so it won't be happening enjoy your videos keep up the good work regards Paul UK
Remember when coil springs were a daily thing, doing front end work? Those made me nervous a time or 2! Also remember when they lasted longer than the vehicle? How times change. Pretty good miles on that thing, though, so I guess I can't bust 'em too much!😊 I had to remove a pair on my '78 Cutlass I had parked for the winter behind my parent's tool shed at their house in the day. Nothing but hand tools and a jack, no spring compressor, laying on dirt and grass. I carried my 50 lb. tool box from my apartment in the city, jumped on a bus to the 'burbs, and walked 4 miles carrying that thing! Did that daily for a week until the Cutlass had all new Polygraphite upper and lower control arm bushings, ball joints, and inner and outer tie rod ends. No press - just burned the bushings out with a Mapp torch, and beat the shells out .. and when they didn't come all the way out, the hacksaw blade in my hand, without the saw frame, finished them off. Then the 4 rivets in each ball joint! Man oh man, a drill and a punch, and and 2 hours later I'd have the joint out. My tenacity was unmatched in those days! I feel I've gone the opposite way lately! Anyway, she handled nice after that, once spring came around! I remember lowering the jack after I got the knuckle to bust free, and that last little bit, where the spring starts to bend around with the lower control arm ... then POP! Always scared the crap out of me. I had a story drilled in my head by someone, who said their buddy's buddy's son's brother-in-law's cousin got their jaw ripped off by a spring that let loose! 😁
한국에선 세도나 리어 스프링 개선품이 나왔는데요 스프링 아래쪽 고무 일체형으로 변경 In Korea, there is an improvement in the intensity and rear spring, but the rubber under the spring has been changed to an integral type.
I think the 4th upper shock mount bolt came out hard because it was loaded; it was the last one out, and there was still some spring tension on it. Not because it was crustier than the others. But, I wasn't there, you were. Great vid. Nice to see those Kia's are so durable that after all those soccer-mom miles the thing is still very servicable.
Eric, Great video - thank you! I wish the suspension bolts on my 02 and 05 Focuses would come out that easily. Mr. Napah (said with Boston accent) should be an SMA sponsor for the amount of business you give them. Looking forward to more repair videos on this vehicle. SMA#1 God bless Paul
You see the same sorta patina on vehicles we get here in Ontario. I’ve always been a believer in Krown Rust Proof just for giving me a fair shot at getting bolts and what-not unstuck as well as keeping my trucks from rusting out. Great vid Once as usual. -Pidge
Hello Eric O., Don't know why but it is kind of relaxing watching someone else do the heavy lifting in the warm with all the right tools. How about a video on finding slow leaks (oil, coolant) on dirty, inaccessible engines? Keep up the videos and I'll keep my feet up. Take care. Doug
Jeff Young the dislikes came from the same (now 7) people that only watch auto racing for the crashes. They like the mayhem and destruction more than anything else and have probably never even held a wrench in their creamy, lotiony (is that even a word?) hands.
I can't believe how easy those bolts came out of a 250,000 New York vehicle. From northern Wisconsin they get pretty damn crusty here also. Every time I do repair I feel like I'm just trying new ways to combat rust
Nice, smooth job. Two things I always hated to work on: springs and split rim wheels. Never had a major problem but those things hold a lot of energy that seems to be able to get released when you least expect it.
NAPA has good parts. They can get parts other stores don’t mess with. Never had a problem with them. You always have a choice between good, better, best on most parts. The Kia surprised me to be in that good of condition considering the mileage and your location with all the salt on the roads in winter!
I knew I felt a little more stable watching this! The tripod explains why. Haha Bolts came right out! Must of had your toes crossed and holding your tongue just right.
I thought for sure I ended up on the wrong channel when I saw how easy those bolts came out. 25 yrs in Upstate NY hasn't been that good to any of my vehicles
i noticed that the top portion of the shock mount can be flipped and the screw and nut would be exposed to the outside it would be easier to pull if it was inverted not suggesting just noticed that it can probably be done i watch because i like to learn i do must of all my own work on cars and it helps when you see someone else doing something thanks for the videos i watch to learn keep up the good work
Hmmm... Them there Kia's are not a bad design,what do I know though. Interesting it came apart so well with all them miles Appears KIA has become a "contender" Great Video (with "old school" musical recap at the end!) NICE

i was nervous vicariously while you compressed the spring, and when you made the energy joke, it just got worse lmao
Ditto!!
many a set of teeth got damaged from such. Or worse!
I was like "please just use some regular spring compressors! Please, please, please!"
@@Bryangx he was doing the rear springs they are not under tention like the front springs are they are just placed in

Impressive engineering. I don't think I've ever seen a spring come out that easy. Nice upgrade with the tripod too. Something else in your way now. :)
New painted parts in rusty cars is kinda satisfying

Probably dislikes were because of the awful music Eric put in the video.

Everytime Eric mentioned Napa that's a plug why sponsor SMA if he gives plugs out for free.

My spring has broken in five pieces, je je.
I'll remember your procedure when replacing them.
Love the new tripod! Way easier on my ears :)
@Oops Oops When he used to drag the tool cart and shake the camera it would almost shake my teeth out (due to my high power headphones) :)
I actually like the rattling cart. Hopefully we can get random cart cam videos now and again.
Love the tripod. Now my eyes don't hurt!!
Shave and a hair cut 2 bits. Nice job it sprung right along. Ya, need a intro jingle for the fluid film before the spray.
Mark Maybe some sheep sounds when the Fluid Film comes out
You mean like the Brake Clean chords?
Bob Pegram yep!
That Krown must be some good stuff everything came right out. Like everyone else I'm surprised how good the undercarriage still looks.
Great job as always Eric! They certainly were spanked!
and to think as a young boy I didn't like spankins....
Nice, smooth job. Two things I always hated to work on: springs and split rim wheels. Never had a major problem but those things hold a lot of energy that seems to be able to get released when you least expect it.

I would so trust SMA auto to work on my cars.
The new tripod is much better. Keep up the good work.
Dude we have this exact van and can attest that while it's very hard to look at, the thing is freaking bullet proof reliability wise
Good to know!!
I have the 2011 with 185k on it - spring just broke in 2023. Van has been super reliable and well built.
That spritz spray is magical!!

So satisfying when you use the spray grease 🤗
Nice job. I bet I know what breaks next. When you tightened that shock down, an entire layer of metal flaked off the mount...wow.
I must admit I'm surprised the torch and Big Nasty didn't make appearances on this job!
Well you’ve done it again my boy. Made it look easy 😁
Hmmm...
Them there Kia's are not a bad design,what do I know though.
Interesting it came apart so well with all them miles
Appears KIA has become a "contender"
Great Video (with "old school" musical recap at the end!) NICE
Kia knows how to make the bolts
Waiting for the jack to come loose and the kinetic energy comes free!!! Glad it didn't.
Thanks for fluid filiming under the shock mount cover. my viewer's ocd was hoping you would do it hah.
AGREED. A nice touch. The kind of thing a Dad would do when working on his son or daughter's car.
That's the kind of chap I want working on MY CAR.
Pretty clean for a 2010.. I had a 03 with 220k.. It rusted away in 2012 but the motor was fine.
I miss viewing from the camera on the tool cart -- that always made it seem more like being part of the action! Who's with me!
