Great video! Great camera work, clear instructions without all the bullshit commentary about how your dog is feeling or whatever most of the other people think I want to hear that I don't give a shit about. Thank you.
Anyone want to take me up on a bet? I bet this will become one of the BEST automotive RUclips channels out there!! The instructions, camera angles, with just a touch of dry humor, PERFECT!!!
O.K. So I've watched a boat-load of 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee repair videos. After all, my ZJ is over 26 years old. All I have to do is look at it cross-wise and something breaks, but it still runs great. These are THE BEST repair videos I've seen for my Jeep. Extremely well articulated and demonstrated... without all the other B.S. Every so often when you show your face, I have to chuckle!
"we have no problems, only solutions!" great attitude, to the point and you are quite knowledgeable about the subject at hand. your 12 minute video is most other channels 30 min rambling.
I gotta tell you....this video is AWESOME! My old 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I paid $500 for is going to be a great 4WD for me for years to come....with MANY THANKS for your great videos! If you lived in Utah, I could score you NUMEROUS repair jobs! Your descriptions and camera angles are SUPERB!!! Keep it up!
Europe here, salt and rust. Took me hours to get the three 13mm bolts off. 1/2 inch 12 point socket worked the best. Had to hammer on a 12mm on two of them, and my impact wrench didn't have a chance of course. Thanks for the video though
yoooooooo! thanks for doing this man! I was skeptical of doing it myself but I watched this a few times and knocked em out. Really appreciate stuff like this, saved me a few hundred bucks.
This was the BEST tutorial for doing this job. The video was clear and so were the instructions! Loved the tips for tools needed and best practices before and after each step. Definitely subscribing and spreading to word. My DAS (Driveway Auto Shop) game will be stepping up to a new level. Thanks!!
Thanks for all your help brother I'm a halfway decent mechanic. I might be in over my head but I want to do the job myself so I'm going to go ahead and do it. Love my Jeep 1996 Grand Cherokee Laredo.
AWESOME step-by-step on this job!! Not all the nut sizes were the same on my 94, but this still helped me massively with getting the job done. Thank you so much!!
Just bought a Cherokee and looked up this video to see how ball joint replacement is done. Can't say enough about the quality of this video! Excellent instructions, well delivered and very detailed about the tools needed, etc. Excellent work, young man!
New to your channel but I am impressed and very thankful. Unlike other creators you narrate with exceptional detail and instructions that most just don't do!!!!! I'm very appreciative
Your videos are great.. I 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited the suspension is starting to show its age it has 151thou you just saved me a lot of time getting up and down for tools. I know what I need now much respect keep the videos coming...
Dude your videos are THE BEST. I own a 98 ZJ and your page has been a GODSEND. The videos are so clean and well made too. No shaky footage or 5 minute spans of you turning a bolt like a lot of repair videos. Awesome tips on certain steps that only a tech would know. Really, really glad to have found your page. Keep doing your thing! Please!!!!
I'm doing an almost complete suspension on my 94. BJs, control arms with axle bushings, springs, shocks stab pins and front pads plus a 2" lift from Rough Country. I miss working in a shop and having a lift. Your videos are direct and concise good work.
Dude, that was best mechanic how-to I've ever watched. Just picked up a ZJ to play with and I'll definitely be keeping tabs on your videos. Awesome job buddy.
I've watched several of your videos on jeep repairs and I am impressed. The narrative, camera work and clear concise step by step instruction is first rate, no need to go to any other channel for jeep repair. Thanks
Hey man just want you to know I didn't know shit about working on vehicles and your videos helped me a ton on my Jeep build . Low key best tutorials I've seen hands down
good lighting and a good camera combined with extensive knowledge plus helpful tips on tools , as well as giving all the wrench/socket sizes , great job once again barcade !!!
Excellent presentation. The camera was always at the best angle for watching those tricky parts of the removal and installation. Good description of whats happening. Keep up the good work.
Bro I cannot tell you how happy I am with your video the way you describe things show things and give little tidbits such as using a bigger socket when removing the cotter pin inside, or showing a demonstration of total failure I can't ask for anything better thank you
Bro.... U literally saved me.... These instructions were spot on for my 96 xj. I struggled like crazy with one side then watched your video and had the other side licked. Definitely will be looking for more videos! Thanks brother 👊💪
Yup... Was totally about to go outside and tear apart my whole suspension to replace it. Then realized I forgot to buy the ball joints. Thanks for confirming how much work it would be to just do them later
Fantastic video - I bought a very low mileage '96 GCL, but many bushings are dry and showing age. Your videos are a great source of piece-of-mind as I approach my routine maintenance. Thanks for the 'Fake Enthusiasm'. Perhaps in the future we can get a "You can do it!'.
You make that look TOO easy. I have to do the same thing on a 2WD. I had the Death Wobble now it just shimmies about 70 and above. This Video helped me with Tools and what not to forget. Thanks!!!
Thanks for all you do with The ZJ videos. You have definitely given me the confidence that I can go and get it done myself and learn in the process thanks again
So far I’ve referred to your channel for all of my ZJ repairs. Last week was the front track bar. Up next is the steering gear and pitman arm, all control arm bushings, ball joints and tie rod and drag link. Keep up the awesome videos. 🤙🏻
At 12:36, it looks like you have the ABS bracket backwards, although a few seconds later it is installed correctly. Pay attention to how they come off, they are labeled L and R, and have an arrow pointing toward the front of the vehicle. All this is on the top side of the bracket. I don't really see why it matters, but if it didn't it wouldn't be stamped into the metal. Thanks for the video, you gave me the confidence to tackle my project.
Awesome job sir, best to the point no bs vid on this I could find. A couple fastener sizes were slightly different on my '93 but overall this vid was a huge help, thanks for uploading!
Awesome video! The only thing I did different was leave the new ball joints in my freezer overnight. The job went a lot quicker than if I hadn't watched the video.
This happened to my Jeep Commander front passenger wheel 1 month ago when going over a RxR crossing. Catastrophic ball joint failure. Also destroyed my front CV axle. I wish I saw this beforehand! 👍👍 Excellent video
Dude! My '96 ZJ has 354k on it and I've watch many videos before operating on mine and this is the most informative and efficient videos yet. Think about using your impact wrench with a universal joint/socket to get that last inner hub bolt. Thank you!
Thank you brother for your step by step tutorial. I was most impressed with your knowledge and skill. Your video has helped to see where I would have made mistakes, without seeing your video first, again thank you sir, and God bless you!!!
Done & dusted.. All four ball joints in! Thank you for the how to, and showing me that I could do this.. Unfortunately, I found out too late that I should have used non-knurled ball joints, not knurled.. Knurled are for worn knuckles, and non-knurled are for 1st or 2nd time replacements.. I didn't know this.. I bought Synergy heavy duty b/joints, which come knurled.. Knurled creates a much tighter fit, and by doing so, compressed the inner workings (the bearing) of the ball joint.. This has made my steering so tight, I can not safely drive it at highway speeds! Per Synergy, it may take as lone as 1000 miles to break in.. They say I can either live with it, or, remove and reinstall the ball joints 2 to 4 times to help resize the fitting!!?! Damn! Right? Figured I would say something here, to help avoid someone else having this issue.. Regardless, I totally Digg you channel.. (see what I did there? LOL) Onward and upward, and sometimes sideways, eh...
@@barricadegarage5361 Update: I did as Synergy suggested.. Removed and reinstalled the upper b/joints twice.. Removed and reinstalled the lowers once.. A lot of 'extra' work, but this seems to have done the trick! And now, thanks to your brilliant video work, time to replace the steering linkage & track bar)
Beginning to end. Direct, to the point, no fluff, muff or other stuff. Just the facts, jack. Git er DONE....Like McD's Im lovin it! Thanks BG! Im a sub lifer....
I agree with Astral auto parts this is going to be the Best automotive RUclips channel he was straight to the project no talking BS the dude was rite to the point, I didn't have to use my FAST FORWARD button one time...… AWESOME!!!!!

Chrisfix is awesome.
I like barricade because he has the same car as me. I'm just going to do everything he does.
Lol I have the same car so he’s changing all the things Iam, Chris fix is also good and any of those 1A auto guys they have so many videos
I saw SO many of these. This one is top 3. Great camera work, great choice of tools at work, great lighting, thoughtful tips. BOSS.

11:56 is the best part! You taught me how to do my power steering pump! Us ZJ owners owe a lot to you!
yoooooooo! thanks for doing this man! I was skeptical of doing it myself but I watched this a few times and knocked em out. Really appreciate stuff like this, saved me a few hundred bucks.
Dude you kick ass! I go straight to your channel every time I'm working on my Jeep ZJ thank you man keep the videos coming

Damn man, Ive never heard anyone be able to explain something in such great detail while still being easy enough for almost anyone to understand.
AWESOME step-by-step on this job!! Not all the nut sizes were the same on my 94, but this still helped me massively with getting the job done. Thank you so much!!
Brook Balocca im glad I could help out👍
