How to track a car with string video • BMW 1 Series Rear Susp...
Great vid, especially giving out the spanner & socket sizes 👍.
A couple of pointers for you & your viewers:
1 When unscrewing the track rod end, count the number of turns coming off. When you fit the new one, count the same amount of turns & it should be in the same position as the old one.
2 Removing the tie rod would have been a lot easier if you would have turned the steering wheel on full lock, the tie rod would have been further out.
Keep up the great work, picture quality very clear.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I have a Corsa D LE and always done the work on it myself over the years, pads, discs - yearly service, etc. Never done a tie rod and track rod end on any car I've owned because I heard It was bad to do...but now I've seen that tool! I will be doing my own in the future. Great vid mate.
Thanks Alan for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Nice job. Astra H is a great wee car, very little problems with them.
Totally agree Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Excellent video. Thanks a million 🎉
You are welcome! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video. Just ordered the Tie Rod removal tool from your link. Cheers
Awesome, thank you!
A couple of years ago, I did the exact same job. Exact parts and exact tool as well, unfortunately the teeth on the tool were not sharp enough and I spent at least 10 minutes trying to get a bite before I realised the problem. I Couldn't be arsed to return it for a replacement cos I would have probably got a very similar tool back. I had to file each tooth to a sharper point before it would work. It then worked superbly and without it, I don't now how I would have done the job without it.
The only difference was I cleaned everything before I started and it made everything a bit easier. WD40 and a wire brush, and then copper grease on the rebuild. Then off to the garage for a wheel alignment.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video, very informative and clear. Just a quick one, when I click on the links for the track rod and it takes you to amazon, it doesn't say whether they are left or right handed and you mentioned they are handed. Any pointers would be great. Thanks again 👌🏼
They seem to be the same both sides, hope that helps, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Me again Ant.....
I've just noticed you're premiering the Milwaukee gloves..... You've definitely become a Milwaukee convert 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Stay safe. Stay healthy.

@@aaanton11 instead of these expensive metal clamps you can use for this places a simple plastic cable tie to fix this plastic dust cover
no more rust and when need it easy to cut off, not like what you have to do
Fantastic video mate, very informative. Thank you

Hey mate, great video! Just a question, what size clamp do I need to replace the one you cut off the boot? I'm in Australia and struggle a bit to find the size I need.
Just use a zip tie, it will hold fine, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi
Would the procedure you used for the Astra be the same for the Corsa C
Thanks
Yes, absolutely, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Nice job always wear your seat belt 28.48 👍
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
For what the bootts cost and the stick they take tbh might as well replace them with new ones * you get new clips also normally)
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Cant get my outer tie rods off...rusted & all fused together. Is it ok to angle grind above the bolt then get the removal tool on there?
Sometimes you have to try the unusual to succeed, if you cant heat it first then try cutting it, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Question when you undo the track rod end why dont you just bang the thread from underneath with a hammer
It will damage the thread, if you have any issues with the new part the old one cant be reused, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Good video - thanks. I note that you wear the chunky Seiko whilst working (or is it an older video?).
Its the Casio Mr G shock its in this video, ruclips.net/video/LnnLoHQCOCg/видео.html Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Really useful video, as was the one you did on rear brake shoes - both jobs I need to do soon. Haven't had the Astra H for long so well filmed and well explained videos like this are a great help. The two steering systems are TRW and ZF, the latter is usually fitted to sports and upper spec models I believe. Mine is TRW like yours. Even finding out that I can replace that crimp clip (what ever they're called) with a simple jubilee clip is a help. For the tracking where you did the quarter turn adjust, is it one side a quarter of turn further in to the track rod end and a quarter out on the other side?
Sounds right, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 Is there a link to checking the tracking with string somewhere?
Which screw has oil leakage in 4.19? Can that screw be removed? Can it be disassembled and the oil leak repaired? I have the same problem.
Its just damp oil stain no drips, give it a wipe, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 Thank you for your answer. I guess I'm a bit of an obsessive person. I tried to disassemble it in my own vehicle, but it could not be removed.
Hi.
Interested to know where I can buy that tool for the tie rod removal from inner joint. Sorry looking to try repairing on my vehicle first attempt?. I would appreciate much information as possible

@@aaanton11 Thank you mate
Did you get any noises from these or was it just the play? Iv just fitted coilovers 2 weeks ago and iv now got a clunking noise from the passenger side when going over uneven roads. I'm thinking either tie rod ends or drop links what would you suggest trying first
possible anti roll bar bushes, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

There were 2 types, typically got the wrong one😂 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
