Update: I rebuilt my front suspension and installed it myself. And Dude, I totally feel what you mean by feeling like a brand new car! I learned how to do it all thanks to your videos. Thank you!
@@SenegalGab It's not too bad, time consuming yes, but is worth it to push your vehicle's safety and reliability to the maximum. My car had tons of play in the front suspension it was scary on the highway. I knew then it was enough and it was time to rebuild. The alignment shop told me it looked like it was done at a shop, but I also needed motor mounts and a steering rack. Once I unfortunately dealt with those, I got an alignment and have never drove a car so solid before.
I am going to do this in the next couple months its been bad but after driving it almost 10k miles(190k total) since i got it its so much worse and im definitely going to rebuild the rear suspension too very scared and excited
The fact that ChrisFix almost never uses rust free and perfectly sound cars to work on in his videos is awesome. We need examples of tricky situations so we know what to do when things don't go just as planned. Thanks for the content ChrisFix!
as someone who lives in the rust belt, it's appreciated, learned a lot of tricks for dealing with rust in this video, definitely gonna help me out a lot on my car!
the best part i like about chrisfix channel is the way he uses common hand tools to fix up a car. i learned how to do a lot from him and i plan on doing simular actions with my nissan versa and honda civic.
I remember watching my first ChrisFix video trying to learn about cars to get into the automotive field, now here i am years later rebuilding my suspension in my garage and it just so happens the guy who helped me learned about cars and gave me the confidence to work on my own car is rebuilding the same suspension setup i have thank you for all the help Chris you are the best mechanic on youtube in terms on knowledge, teaching, and video editing im going to use your videos to help teach my kids how too fix thier vehicles when they are older 👍
I just started school as an Auto Tech , watching your videos REALLY helps me understand everything about the components of a vehicle. Keep up the good work dude you’re amazing!
I used to be a heavy equipement mechanic but i am now a part guy at an auto part store and to be honest , watching your videos makes me want to to mechanical stuff full time again
Did you guys get notified by RUclips that the video was posted? Also when you watched the video, was there a screen that said "this video was flagged by the RUclips community and may be offensive" or something like that? Just wanted to check because I had issues last night which is why I had to postpone publishing the video. I hope it's all fixed and you guys learn a lot from the video! Stay tuned for the next video and then for a video that, well, covers a life changing event ;) Also for those asking why I am wondering, here is what happened last night when I went to publish: instagram.com/p/BwI-VOhFkt2/
He can put $500 into it. and it will last him another 200k miles or he can go out and spend $15k and buy him up to date car and end up spending $1k in parts or even more not including special tools etc and on top of that will loose its value every time he drives it
Thanks to you I had to courage to tackle a 20 year old car. I'm just a broke college student and you have definitely saved me THOUSANDS of dollars. I've put roughly $700 in parts and functionally have brand new front suspension, new brakes all around, and new struts in the rear. Can't say it's always been pretty, but I can say that my '03 Taurus feels a lot prettier.
lol, you actually use the "trending" page? You never question why you see the same kind of content, like fear mongering liberal late night shows, literally "trending" every single day? You must enjoy your carefully chosen propaganda.
Used to get overwhelmed when thinking about car maintenance work like this. But as I increased my technical knowledge and abilities. I began rewatching your videos and I don’t get overwhelmed anymore as your step by step procedures make it that much easier to learn and do. Best Car RUclipsr!!!
Great, took out all my old suspension parts, but now I'll have to wait a week to learn how to put my new parts back in. Thanks for the video! I'll just take the bus in the meantime 😊
Saw a guy, um, massaging? his car. I live in the sticks, 100'+ trees and can be difficult to see neighbors at times so I guess he didn't think he could be seen...
So I’ve been working on cars for years and have been a carpenter for nearly a decade, and I have to say, I only JUST learned that tip for sawing the screw. Great tip, will definitely come in handy in the future in a lot more than just mechanics!
What I appreciate about Chris is the fact that he runs into trouble and shows you and shows you how he gets around it.He doesn't make it seem like everything super easy
haha well originally it was just going to be "how to replace ball joints and bushings" but then it escalated to how to replace everything and paint everything!
Chris. I have no idea if you will see this. Thank you. I lost my dad at a very early age n he was all about the drag strip. I know he would have taught me the things you have taught me. I am so grateful for your channel.
ChrisFix just makes it look so easy that you wanna go and buy a car with a bad suspension just to replace it!!! Crazy thing is that I've done it though hahaha
I'm pretty new at doing my own work on my car. I found so far that the hardest and most time consuming part is dealing with anything that is seized or otherwise stuck into place. I like watching videos like these that are above my level of experience because it gives me a better understanding of how things work, and what tools/equipment I should already have on hand to make the jobs easier to do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with others. Because of people like you, I learned how to do my own oil, change my tires, replace my brakes, replace a seized caliper, and the other day I did rotors for the first time.
Not sure if you know these tricks so try these. Number one Kroil or penetrating oil Number 2 isopropal alcohol with winter green and a rubber, deadblow or wooden mallet let it sit for a bit wack it really hard a few times continue until the nut is loose. ( that little trick got a drill bit out of a Very rusted 80 year old drill) Number 3 get a blowtorch the red wrench will remove almost anything but will also ruin any temper present
One thing I really like is that his videos don’t make the jobs seem super easy like other creators. Stuff doesn’t come off easily, stuff breaks, stuff won’t go together. Then he shows how to correct the issue, sometimes in multiple ways. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve started a job, got into a situation that things didn’t go as planned, and then had to just keep trying for days … or (more often than I like to admit) after trying for a long time, towing the car to a mechanic to finish the job for me.
tbh thats an accurate take. I'm not a professional and sometimes jobs just dont go as easy as it looked or I make a mistake and need to wait for a tool/part. I haven't had to resort to towing YET but I've called for help and left in the driveway for a few days...
@@derekp6636 I got lucky one time. To sum up: car overheating. Ordered water pump, hoses, belts, etc etc to refresh everything. The day it arrives(Friday), a hose blows, so I replaced it and returned all the parts. I thought I had found the problem. Sunday afternoon, I flush the coolant and realized that my water pump had a crack in it. I considered re-buying the water pump and fixing it, but when “the book” says something takes 2 hours, that can mean “2 days” for me to do it. I had to be at work on Monday, so I called Pep Boys. When they were taking off my water pump, 2 bolts broke. If that happened to me, i would not have been able to fix it, and they would’ve charged me to fix that problem, but since it happened while they were working on it, they didn’t charge me to remove the broken bolts, only for the labor to replace the water pump. That’s the story I tell myself to attempt to convince myself that I’m not a loser when I can’t fix the problems on my own.
I rebuilt the entire front suspension on my 2006 Peugeot 206 because of this video! Thanks Chris, people actually use your videos, keep on doing what you do best mate!
To me, @ChrisFix is the only mechanic guy i followed on youtube. The only guy that demonstrate the correct and proper ways to repair the vehicles. Everything he presents in this video is how other automotive technicians should follow and pay attention to details especially in wheel bearings pressing section. He does an excellent job in instructing. It is exactly what What school have teach me. Be responsible to customers's vehicles when you are working on it, no short cut or sheety jobs. Im a mechanic student and have to come back to learn howto from your videos. I like all your videos, @ChrisFix
171 mechanics loosing work, disliked your very simple and informative video on replacing front suspension. As always great video, keep up the great work.
Man im 17 and have been working my ass off for months to get a del sol, and i just realized you have a video on them! I cant wait to finally buy one and build it with your help!
Cannot wait to see how you install a new bearing. Taking a garbage one out with a hammer is low risk. Installing a new one without it going crooked or beating up the housing hurts my brain.
Even though this video is meant for semi-newer cars, this information will be very useful for when I have to check the suspension on my '84 Mazda Rx-7. And if the suspension is bad I will know how to replace it aswell, since this video is so informational, and it applies to most front suspension set-ups on cars
Chris - Your videos are so amazingly well done and thorough, including how to handle problems, etc. I am really impressed (Working on cars since the 60's). You explain every detail and the WHY of each action - makes it so much better. Your videos make me want to go find a car to work on again! Thanks.
Dude I’ve watched this whole video 3 times this year for no reason just love hearing this great mechanic explain everything so clearly a child could follow this
I will be tackling my wife's 2012 traverse's front suspension this next weekend. Did her water pump this last weekend which was a pain, but done. This looks sooo much easier. Didn't think about painting. Might have to do that. Thank you for the vid!
Dang not only does this man help you fix your car but he teaches you to be cautious and safe even with lifting from the knees not your back that's hilarious
Your channel has so much gold 😭 I knew I could handle repairs myself & you helped me instill that self confidence that I can do the job 100%. Thanks for sharing this knowledge! 🧠🌱
This video and its sequel are what helped me start to understand the basics of my car's suspension and eventually gave me the courage to do a front/rear strut replacement on my Camry. Some of the information had to be adapted to my specific car (mine doesn't have upper control arms and it has sway bar links that connect to the struts, for example) but it was still a huge help. After about ten hours over the course of two days, some scrapes and bruises, a trip or two to the parts store, and of course plenty of swearing, my car had four new struts and rode better than it has since I bought it. Also saved at least a thousand bucks over what my shop quoted me. Anyway, great video and thank you for putting all this information out into the world for free.
You can own a car early, just can't drive it. Could buy a fixer upper before you can drive, spend some time working on it, then by the time you can drive legally you can have a cheap free and clear car that you can have the pride of having repaired it yourself.
We all really love 5:11(basically a deadlift position) how Chris point and aware you of such small details you must DO and DON'T which you can't even think doing vlogging
I stepped away from mechanics for a bit to follow my dream as a trucker... But now I need to rebuild my first car and rescue it from the scrap yard once again. It sat for five years... But now I'm gonna save it. Plus do a disc brake conversion. Thank you for everything you do, Chris. You helped me save my car in 2016/17 and you're gonna help me save it a second time. But this time I also have help from my dad and my lady. This is gonna be so much fun, I can't wait to dig in! I know it's gonna be rough but when it's done it'll be worth it.
Never really been interested in repairing my own cars. The local mechanics has always done it for me. But 2 weeks ago one of your videos showed up in my recommended and I gotta say.. You have taught me so much. Next time I'm gonna try to fix it myself. Keep up the good work dude! Greetings from Norway
I can imagine someone disassembling their suspension, painting, drying conning back, un-pause video, "I'll show you how to install all this in the next video...".....
@@BrandonTejadaSkates sigh, it's a joke man, also the reassembly proceedure includes lubricants and threadlocker and the like which is really important.
Today I'm going to show you how to repair this $500 car. First, start by purchasing $2000 worth of parts..... Seriously, you are a fantastic teacher and your videos are excellent.
This is terrific. On these kinds of terrible rusted-out disassembly jobs, I've gotten used to watching channels do the work with "overkill" tooling available like an arbor press, cutting torch, air-arc gouging rig, etc. It's neat to see how you get the job done well with relatively modest tools.
Wow i don't have the patients you do for this type of work, but you are a good teacher and you make me want to become a mechanic! Definitely subscribing!
The amount of knowledge this man has towards cars and engines is insanely impressive. Makes me wonder how he got taught all this himself:) But how he teaches me it makes me feel so safe around my own car and saving tons of money
@@chrisfix thanks Chris! Currently watching this video to replace my passenger cv axle joint for the first time; I have confidence because of your informative videos :) keep it up!
Thank you for all your videos! I am going to have one hell of an awesome truck when I'm done with it, thanks to all the videos! I did my wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, ujoints and new locking hubs on my 89 Ford Ranger this summer. And i have surprised several people by doing it mostly by myself.

@@chrisfix would be great having you on a meet and great in Western Europe or better Germany one day 🤪😬
Ah the infamous non family content of Chris Fix
.... I peeped insta
@@whyleo- it had to be the hub thrusting lol
haha it must be all of that hammering!
Dude I’ve watched this whole video 3 times this year for no reason just love hearing this great mechanic explain everything so clearly a child could follow this
YESSSSSS!!!! FINALLY A CHRISFIX VIDEO!!!! I LOVE IT!
BTW I am a very young car enthusiasts! I am 11.5 almost 12
Me too
Hahha 15 boys!
I will be tackling my wife's 2012 traverse's front suspension this next weekend. Did her water pump this last weekend which was a pain, but done. This looks sooo much easier. Didn't think about painting. Might have to do that. Thank you for the vid!
Good luck! Let me know how it goes!
7:06 lmao thats why youtube thought this video doesn't follow the community standards 😀
Hahahahah
lmao 😂
You guys are terrible🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Holy f***ing s*** 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funny but true at the same time😂👍
Dang not only does this man help you fix your car but he teaches you to be cautious and safe even with lifting from the knees not your back that's hilarious
I still don't have a car but your videos make me hyped for some reason
That's awesome! Hopefully you are learning a lot!
@@chrisfixI definetly do, but in switzerland everything is so damn expensive and illegal if its not original which is sad
7:10 *”and this is putting up a bigger fight than I thought”*
So inappropriate
nooranik21 it’s called HuMOr
R/woosh
Lmao
Hehe bill Cosby is not here
can you make a video on rebuilding a transmission?
@Kevin Prima yes but my jeeps trans is acting funky and i dont wanna spend 3000$ ona new trans and would love to see how to rebuild one
Your channel has so much gold 😭 I knew I could handle repairs myself & you helped me instill that self confidence that I can do the job 100%. Thanks for sharing this knowledge! 🧠🌱
Few years later: Hey guys, ChrisFix here and today I will show you how to build a race car
Using common hand tools😂😂😂😂😁
@@malmo27 with a bit of blue loctite >.
@@kxmikalbot9639 and some soapy wooder
Could be f1 or fe?
So grab your breaker bar.
19:00 that's the most useful tip I have ever heard
I feel bad for anyone who just watched this and gutted their whole suspension just to be left on a cliff hanger. Lmao.
lmao
I mean you can just do the same thing backwards lol
Hey Danny he certainly does??? check it out
Mr305Maxxx the next part is in the description
This video and its sequel are what helped me start to understand the basics of my car's suspension and eventually gave me the courage to do a front/rear strut replacement on my Camry. Some of the information had to be adapted to my specific car (mine doesn't have upper control arms and it has sway bar links that connect to the struts, for example) but it was still a huge help. After about ten hours over the course of two days, some scrapes and bruises, a trip or two to the parts store, and of course plenty of swearing, my car had four new struts and rode better than it has since I bought it. Also saved at least a thousand bucks over what my shop quoted me.
Anyway, great video and thank you for putting all this information out into the world for free.
7:08 I am used to the motion and this action will be basic muscle memory...
Lol
If you're jerking it that hard you're gonna lose it soon
@@eksine wdym
@@drachenlordtstrolls3608 seriously? Your username is trolls? Ain't falling for that jackass
eksine chill out cry baby
Even though I don't own a car because i'm under age i still watch these videos
You can own a car early, just can't drive it. Could buy a fixer upper before you can drive, spend some time working on it, then by the time you can drive legally you can have a cheap free and clear car that you can have the pride of having repaired it yourself.
same
Everything was worn out, but it is very IMPRESSIVE that all the parts hold them self together in place! Honda after all👊🏼
Yea that is pretty good!
@@chrisfix Thank you for taking the time on replying bro. Big fan here!
We all really love 5:11(basically a deadlift position) how Chris point and aware you of such small details you must DO and DON'T which you can't even think doing vlogging
Thank you for the extremely detailed video. Even more so, thank you for actually caring about the rust and adding protective coating!
7:10 finally something im good at
Everyone that does that is gay ew
Foxprin’s Life what wanking that’s how u were born

Tf why did i say this
@@foxprinslife1517 bec u said it
Still don’t have a car but love watching your videos👍keep it up
Doesnt mean you cannot learn! Plus when you get a car, you will know more than most people who already drive!
Me too
I stepped away from mechanics for a bit to follow my dream as a trucker... But now I need to rebuild my first car and rescue it from the scrap yard once again. It sat for five years... But now I'm gonna save it. Plus do a disc brake conversion.
Thank you for everything you do, Chris. You helped me save my car in 2016/17 and you're gonna help me save it a second time. But this time I also have help from my dad and my lady.
This is gonna be so much fun, I can't wait to dig in! I know it's gonna be rough but when it's done it'll be worth it.
Did anyone else realized Chris changed the serpentine belt and its pulley too??? We’re getting another video on the del sol soon!
I noticed lol
Also he painted the Caliper.Another one to come.
Arthur Kayabalian hi
Maybe the cheap turbo kit he talked about?
Never really been interested in repairing my own cars. The local mechanics has always done it for me.
But 2 weeks ago one of your videos showed up in my recommended and I gotta say.. You have taught me so much.
Next time I'm gonna try to fix it myself. Keep up the good work dude! Greetings from Norway
I see those RPF-1’s Chris 👀 Also appreciate how much effort you put into these videos! Never realized how time-consuming it can all be.
Thanks a lot man!
Thanks Mr Chris, you are the best best best best.
1. Clear English: 100%
2. Explanation: 100%
3. Demonstration: 100%
Thanks a lot
Wow you look like a teacher
Man your vids are dope! No extra bs talking. Just info and step by step. Truely one of the best Tubers out there!
Definitely agree
Doug: the type of guy to ask Chrisfix for the service history when buying one of his cars
I don’t get it aren’t you supposed to do that
@@naveeniscool chris fixes his own cars..... no service history on his cars
Erik69 oh thanks
@@naveeniscool np
@@naveeniscool its the dealships that signs the service history
I can imagine someone disassembling their suspension, painting, drying conning back, un-pause video, "I'll show you how to install all this in the next video...".....
@Nuck Figgers oh you did same as I did, we must be genius??
"to install, reverse removal procedure"
@@BrandonTejadaSkates sigh, it's a joke man, also the reassembly proceedure includes lubricants and threadlocker and the like which is really important.
Today I'm going to show you how to repair this $500 car. First, start by purchasing $2000 worth of parts..... Seriously, you are a fantastic teacher and your videos are excellent.
Glad RUclips decided to let us watch this inappropriate material.
ChrisFix: Disrespected Suspension (Gone Sexual)
lol
Is it me or RUclips just stubborn?
xD
It was the Slide Hammer action.
maybe the penetrating fluid part was too much, got in there all deep like..
No one:

Hilarious 😂😂😂

Im dying 💀💀💀🤣
aha😂😂😂😂 I'm dying
Looks like chris is a very experienced and fast hand man for removing the hubs. Wonder where he learned that from 🤔
7:04
Lmao 😂
what do ya know, this comment has 69 likes
He clearly learned it from years of car repairs and no other activities that partake late at night.
@@ryanheznts4540 Late night handjobs
This is terrific. On these kinds of terrible rusted-out disassembly jobs, I've gotten used to watching channels do the work with "overkill" tooling available like an arbor press, cutting torch, air-arc gouging rig, etc. It's neat to see how you get the job done well with relatively modest tools.
removing all suspension parts in the wheel well EZ. but making a tutorial video about it.... good job chris
Thanks Jimmy! Sometimes I wish I could just work on cars without the camera so I can get the job done faster haha
have to refresh myself on the journey since it’s coming back alive 🥲
His local workshops dislike this video

Lol literally every night?
@@richardrahadi tough times
Lmao
Wow i don't have the patients you do for this type of work, but you are a good teacher and you make me want to become a mechanic! Definitely subscribing!
Welcome aboard! And thanks a lot!
The amount of knowledge this man has towards cars and engines is insanely impressive. Makes me wonder how he got taught all this himself:) But how he teaches me it makes me feel so safe around my own car and saving tons of money
Watching you is like learning.
I will soon get my own old car to build and Im 14
At 16 in Sweden you can drive around slowly to learn how to drive
Awesome! Keep learning and saving up!

Would you post the brand/type of paints you used to protect the parts and wheel wells please?

Thanks!

You a more professional person: "Thick black paint"
Me, an intellectual: "FLEXSEAL"
I bet the can of paint has his logo and it says "Thick black paint" right on it. ChrisFix has a great line of products.
"Special silver color paint" or "Rustoleum"?
@@fjpoggemann hmmmm
@@QuitProcrastinating I guess it will
You guys know what type of paint he used?
Have alot of knowledge in cars and thinks about what people may not be able to get so he says alternatives.
Very good youtuber
Thank you for all your videos! I am going to have one hell of an awesome truck when I'm done with it, thanks to all the videos! I did my wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, ujoints and new locking hubs on my 89 Ford Ranger this summer. And i have surprised several people by doing it mostly by myself.
