@Anders Holmstrom Spend the extra money for a Toyota
Scotty pls tell me somthing about Toyota avensis 2017
I had a mystery clunking noise in a Toyota Aygo it turned out to be loose brake lines of all things hitting the bodywork! :D
Can I use this on my tires since they are 3 years old
@@rstuff1605 i use Armor All on my car plastics and rubbers. Works good on tyre side walls to stop cracking too.
Scotty is the first mechanic that ever said "Your suspension is fine".
He isn’t wrong at all haha. I got a 95 Tercel and a 97 Camry. They are both exceptional cars.
I tell people their suspension is fine all the time. Usually on Toyota products.
I wish I had a millionaire Scotty to take my car to.
Ha haaaaaa faaactxscz
umm scottys the only honest mechanic lmao
Scotty's customer, "What is wrong with my car?" Scotty: "It's needs a 94 Toyota Celica"
🤣😃😄🤣
😂😂
😆😅🤣...thx I needed that
I have a fifth gen GT-S CELICA RIPS
It needs a 1996 Camry.
Scotty you've pretty much taught me everything I know about cars. Thank you so much. You're never going to fully know the impact you've made on people through all your videos. Keep it up!
I completely agree 👍👏💯
I salute you sir. ✌💂♂️
He really is a gem. I grew up helping my dad, from 8 yrs old up. He was never a mechanic, but knew about cars from hardly ever going to a garage. Scotty is the next level, of fixing modern cars. He's taught me a lot, without being yelled at for not knowing what a breakbar was at the age if 8
Agreed.
A wise man speaks 😎👍🤙☝️💰💰💰
Scotty is one of the only Mechanics I'd trust to tell me after a check up "Your car is just fine"
I put some of those deer things on my car, and noticed deer chasing after me as I drove down the road. It turns out I installed them backwards.
@Bert Clayton that was an obvious joke, my dude. Very obvious.
I wish that worked, every hunters 4 wheeler would have a set!
YEA, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN... I ACCIDENTALLY PUT MY READING GLASSES ON UPSIDE DOWN WHILE READING WAR AND PEACE... NOW I CAN SPEAK RUSSIAN...
@Social Outcast ... Good concept, bad punch line... Try again...
😂
The front end of my '99 Ranger made all kinds of noise going over bumps. I figured out from Scotty's videos that my ball joints were dry. I put grease in through the zerk fittings and now it makes no noise. Scotty's the man for finding weird noises.
You are lucky that your joints are greasable. Mine are just filled with cheap plastic!
I just recently did a HUGE suspension job on my car and saved thousands. Thanks for Toyota being so simple. Replaced both lower control arms, both wheel bearings, both lower control arms, sway links, end links, cv axels, motor mounts, transmission mount, struts and shocks, coolant, new atf... Toyota is amazing for making it easier on home mechanics.
Come back when you have a awd toyota v6. The word you’re looking for is stupid
@@goclunker is it super complicated?
@@Sledgefist1 basically unbolt 4 engine mounts, remove two, unbolt steering rack and swaybar to lift motor to get to the dogbones on the control arms. What a pita
I think Scotty quite likes Toyotas
He likes to Rev up his Engine! 😅😜
@@sharonflowershondagirl8187 Soon it says, Recharge your batteries !! 😇🥴😂
Of course he does. Toyota's usually go easy on mechanics.
ya think?
you must be new 👀
good to see you still kicking it on here you are a good man that loves his fellow brothers an sisters.
Been following Scotty's AT-205 suggestion for some years now since I first heard of this tip. I live in New York State where we get road salt and when I change my motor oil I spray AT-205 on all my suspension parts. Once a year I check for undercarriage rust and spray some undercoat under the car. When I got the car new after half a year I got it professionally undercoated.
But yeah the AT-205 is GREAT. Helps keep the rubber/plastic parts healthy and not brittle.
Isn't that transmission fluid?
What is A 205
Scotty I'm working on my 84 Toyota today and will channel your energy thru it
Scotty, 5 out of 5 for content, 2 for camera work under the car (much shakier than normal), 4 for funny pictures in the corner. Thanks for the video!
This is the only guy that makes mechanic work fun to watch while you learn. Thank you sir!
Your channel is an encyclopedia of car maintenance. Hope it sticks around for a real long time!
Scotty always makes my day!
I'm gonna try this on my 05 civic. Wow seems like everytime I have an issue with a car you make a video about how to fix the issue. Thanks Scotty
Dear Scotty, I'm fairly new to your channel but I want to thank you for the time you take to teach! You are much appreciated!
I wonder if any words would come out if you held his hands still?
hhahaha
Yahoo's are always flaying thier hands and arms around ,Like a persistent nerve virus or nervous tick.
If you tied his hands together he would have a nervous breakdown medication time medication time I want my cigarettes Miss ratchet my cigarettes
I called the manufacturer of AT-205 about using it on suspension bushings, and they said it will lubricate for few minutes, but the stuff will evaporate. And they said I would be wasting my money.
I personally would recommend silicone spray, and make sure to stay away from lithium grease and all purpose WD-40 since they are petroleum based. anything petroleum based will destroy rubber.
That's really interesting about the petroleum factoid. That's going in the permanent section of my brain haha
@@TylerAlexis It's the same reason you don't use vaseline or oil with condoms, only water based. Petroleum weakens rubber.
'' SHORT CHAIN'' SILICONE ! Long Chain NO GOOD.
@@michaelkraus4135 That's a good point. I sprayed silicon spray on my slingshot rubber and it destroyed them.
@@no2thenwo737 PURE GLYCERIN is great for RUBBER.
Scotty you are a great educator and reference on how to keep a car maintained. Thank you for all of your efforts and postings. I appreciate your information it has helped me immensely. Thank you!
Thanks for the tip on the AT 205 Re-Seal
I downloaded and saved every single videos of his for my unborn son.
This stuff really works!!
Rebuilding an old 1972 Datsun 240z there are many rubber parts that are no longer available or are ridiculously expensive! Soaking the rubber parts in this stuff really brought them back to life.
Truly brilliant solution!
Another amazing tip from Scotty! Thank you! I'm used to apply 303 on rubber and plastic parts. Might as well try this one for the fading rubber.
I needed this
That stuff works amazing!! Restoring a ‘72 Datsun 240z I soaked a bunch of the 50 year old rubber parts in that stuff and they came back to nearly new condition!
Scotty- Goes to buy a new Toyota
Toyota - So would you like the extended warranty?
Scotty : I am the warranty.
Thanks , again one more thing I will know. I am learning a lot about cars watching your videos keep up the good work.
1:52 the Celica always gets a mention 🤣
I’ve been using AT-205 ever since you recommended it a couple of years ago. Works great!
Why don't they sell it in a spray form?
@@georgepacheco4521 because it´s made to treat seals inside an engine
@@georgepacheco4521 I think because the primary purpose of the product is an additive to automatic transmissions to help recondition seals and stopping leaks. The way that Scotty uses AT-205 is what doctors and pharmacists call, “off-label,” or in a manner otherwise unintended by the manufacturer.
Tried buying a case directly from the manufacturer. They do not sell to the public, you have to go through a retailer. I go through this product alot
@@azthundercloud You might try to buddy up with a locally-owned auto parts store, who may be able to buy it at wholesale, then can sell it to you for a case discount.
Always good to listen when you talk about car and repairs sir. Be safe.
I just found you recently and you are a great teacher and very entertaining. Keep it up. Love your show.
I want to be like you Scotty your the best mechanic I know and I want to become one and start getting to know car in my teen years
Love these videos man! Keep on going!
That's your first video I've watched, and sir, you have quite an interesting voice. Thanks for the knowledge.
In the corps we very commonly used silicone gel for the same purpose. On wires, rubber etc. There is all types of silicone lubes and goos on the market. Not sure how all the prices would compare but it is the same concept. Works wonders on rubbers and plastics. This is exactly how we keep all that Vietnam era gear working for 50 yrs.
Thank you
Watching these videos will help your car last longer!
i had a 94 Celica G.T.I 5 speed, loved it:)
thanks 4 sharing
Hello scotty, I learn something new everytime I watch your videos, your the best without a doubt, simple explanation, great video content, and a top entertainment every time , thankyou very much for sharing your vast knowledge, nobody does it better.
Who comes here just to see the animal memes while Scotty is laughing? 🤣
Most of the time I'm here for the *KLUNKA-KLUNKA!*
I come here to learn from Scotty and get a Toyota Celica PhD diploma.
@@AllThisThingsIHateU but he is right. I have a toyota hilux 2.4D from 1986, runs like a tank. Simple and robust engineering

You do
Hey Scotty, my dad fixes torn wiper blades with crazy glue. He tells me, hey what the heck I live in central California. It rains one, or no times a year
I just want to say thank you for sharing your fine knowledge I have learned so much from you please keep making these clips you are the best I have ever learned alot from thank you again .
Thanks Scotty, I'll buy some of that AT 205 Reseal and use it on my brand new Suzuki Jimny that I just bought on Friday 👍
Thanks for a very useful content Scotty! Can I spray it to Alternator/Fan Belt too?
Scotty as a mechanic the biggest suspension peace i find shops miss for clunking is sway bar bushings.
I just want to give thanks. You sure have taught me a thing or two from your videos. Thanks Scotty. Great mechanic. Legendary.
Scotty, AT 205, saved my rear main seal on my 93 Pathfinder. Thanks!
Scotty Kilmer It sure would be great if you did a segment on frame rust and how to repair it at home The proper way. I really enjoy your videos
Should also check for loose calliper mounts, loose slider pins, and missing anti-rattle clips. All of these can provide enough clearance for a clunk in the suspension when changing directions with the brakes lightly applied.
Thanks for this Scotty!
Most honest mechanic. Great job Scott
Sweet gloves! I just got my Blue driver, after watching your video. Did you order those gloves? Thanks .Duncan from Alberta
I had a mystery clunking noise in a Toyota Aygo it turned out to be loose brake lines of all things hitting the bodywork! :D
How did you find out ?
Had the radiator reservoir tubing come out of the holder between the radiator and reservoir and it was clunking as the fan hit it.. shaved down real nice.. no holes yet though.
Ive been watching your vidoes for years but 5 weeks straight now. Thank you skotty. Shout out RI. I live in Fort campbell tn now.
Love your videos Scotty! Keep it coming.
Yes should give a road test before any repairs To compare later
I hate his method even he has alot of admires. Maby he is chatty more than practical one. I hate his voice tune.... My own opinion
Hi Scotty Love your videos and hope you read this. I used to be a Toyota technician and I found that this complaint is usually the brake pad shifting back and makes a noise as it hits the bracket. Just my experience of what that complaint usually ends up being.
Scotty kicks arse....very honest guy
Great job Scotty, I have see a Mid 80's Mustang that ran off mountain road and stuck up in big oak tree and was there for years till storm shook it out. It is still there on mountainside not worth retrieving.
Hi there, can I use a silicone spray instead of the polymer in the video, we don't have it here in Europe!
I love how your analogy is so simple when cars are having some type of issue.
Muy ilustrativo y útiles sus videos Sr Scotty,saludos desde España
Very informative and more pertinent than the answers I get from most. Thanks again.
Great advice on additional uses for AT-205, Scotty. Have a 2007 Pontiac G5 SE 2.2L and had to replace bushings that just fell off when my brother was just going to change them. If we drove that day, mom and I would have been in the ditch or worse. Had the brakes, sway bar links, tie rods changed as well. Had water leak below glove compartment and brother fixed that. Beginning of this winter, heater blower motor kicked out. Gave it a kick as you shared on one of your videos and presto got heat in the car. When temperature dropped to -38°C with windchill at -45°C, I had to kick motor twice when it wouldn’t start. Still starts and sometimes chugs and I have to hit with foot or windshield snow brush. Lol. Love your videos and your memes 🐴🦭🦧🐒
I liked the story about why car parts cost so much so people wouldn’t build their own cars!
The Corolla that I just bought also has the centre jacking point. I swap my summer and winters over in significantly less time.
Scott the great! I really really needed this, just saved me a bunch $$$
Lov u man🖤💯
Scotty, thank you for all the priceless info!
Thank you!
This dudes energy is awesome.
I just happened to find this channel and besides being very informative and knowledgeable you're extremely entertaining and funny as hell, awesome brother I love it, you're pretty damn honest too can't believe you're a mechanic, I categorize mechanics right up there with bankers lawyers and the government all crooked crooks but you're the exception you're one of us 😆 hahahaha
Exactly!! haha. I guess I’m where you were 8 months ago. Just stumbled across this Gent just now.
303 aerospace protectant works well
Backyard engineering,
How do those two products compare to ArmorAll? My 3M Littman Stethoscope manufacturer recommends it to protect plastic tubing from body exudate (perspiration, ect.).
I mix the 303 with at205 its the best compound try it for yourself. It makes the perfect tire shine too the uv protection keeps rubber from cracking and aging like all other tire shines.
Great Scotty, I use Lanolin the same way.
just sprayed that at205 on the bushings and all the rubber parts when i did my own brakes recently! Really need it in this hot south florida heat! rubber takes a beating down here!
Scotty love your way to teach us how to care our cars. My real teacher. Stay blessed sir.👍
If it's a small clunk when backing up, I often see 12-17 Camry brake pads shift in the caliper braket just a little bit. Cleaning dust and debris from contact surfaces help. Make sure hardware is in place. Also and less common, the metal cowl tray under the wiper motor will have insufficient torque particularly where it connects to the LH strut tower. Most dealers assume its the strut mount, but it's the cowl tray shifting under a loose bolt.
Wtf why does that sound like total nonsense to me?
@@elffawnruth6316 I dunno, I guess nonsense can clunk also. 🤷🏾♂️
I have terrible brake pad shifting problem even in my 2007 Camry, sounds awful until i grease them up
I almost paid 2500 dollars for a whole suspension change thank you Mr. Kilmer 🤣🤣🤣
I paid 1000 and still have a clunk. I'm trying this tomorrow
Did it work
Thank you! Your videos are appreciated 😊.
Well, Scotty, being a Camry owner in Canada....yea, the place where we take the caucuses out and leave the car at the bottom of the cliff!!!!! You have showed me another tip to do to my car when I do my seasonal tire change over from winter to summer tires.
I love watching your video Scotty. They’ve been so helpful and I’m so grateful to have someone like you on RUclips.🎉
You trick me with the thumbnail every time, Scotty! Lol
Thanks Scotty
Awesome! Even I could do this! Thank you
that would be a christmas gift, a complete car kit. how long would it take to put the complete car together. lol. your ikea car :D
I worked at a gas station in the early 60's . We would spray a mixture of used motor oil and kerosine...
Genius, I use the same concoction for raw wood and to prevent metal from rusting (tools, open panels...) I just use diesel instead of kerosene, it's cheaper. 🤙Now I learnt that I can use it as a stearing bush lubricant. Awesome...
been doing this for years great tip.
Back in the 60-70s I’d use old brake fluid underneath and kept the rubber soft and pliable.but I will try your method now Thank you.
Your shop with the checkerboard floor is big enough for a lift. Have you thought about getting one? I got one 10 years ago and my knees and back have been thanking me ever since.
What’s the sqft and what kind of lift? How high does it raise the vehicle? I’m thinking of getting one myself
Thank you Scotty for your tricks in this case to save money and noises!!! Do you know if this product It's compatible with polyurethane bushings??
Thank You Scotty!!!
Wow I can’t imagine my life without Scottys videos . I’m in shock with every video how most mechanics are such liars 🤥🤦🏻♀️
God bless you Scotty !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would love to try this stuff but can't find anywhere in the UK that sells it.
@@bmca8876 Yeah I wonder if it would do the same thing?
Silicone spray works pretty good too and is readily available.
Hey Scotty! Nice to see you all set up. We can clearly see the studio lights on your sunglasses. You'll need to adjust them.
I've learned more about a cars in the first 5 minutes of this video than in the last 5 years. Ok I'm subscribed.
I prefer the videos where he actually “diagnoses” and “fixes” cars.
Prevention is better than the cure
Maybe you should tune in to a Yahoo mechanic channel. We all know just how perfect youse guys are.
@@stevebrown617 agreed!
2:36 here in Australia we have a similar thing for Kangaroos
So you spray AT205 on the kangaroo?
I say roo whistles don,t work
@@billsmith305 they do emite ultrasonic frequency, two dogs ran into my car on hwy while I was cruising in a 100 zone.
Man they made a mess of my vehicle, owner told me they used to come to whistling since they where pups.
Shame some delivery worker didn't latch the front gate on property :-(
Have the same issue on a 2016 corolla, mechanic said there were no issues with the structure. Going to try this. Will see what happens.
Very well explained, always hated suspension work. This is so informative now im understanding suspension and the parts and this video really helped me understanding each and every part!! My mechanic told me that me that my lower control arm needs to be changed along with stablizer links while changing the motor mounts on my mercedes. I'm very anxious about my ride and try to get it well maintained eventhough it reached 100,000 miles and this suspension work is my next job to go for and im thinking to change my 2012 Mercedes E350 struts/shocks to Bilstein B4 (comfort) as it feels bumpy and awkward, I heard lot of good reviews about the bilestein on German cars
Thank you Scotty 💯
