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
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 👍
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 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!
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/
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!!!
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.
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.
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
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!
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 😊
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! 🧠🌱
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
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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
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
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.
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...
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
171 mechanics loosing work, disliked your very simple and informative video on replacing front suspension. As always great video, keep up the great work.
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
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
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
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!
This video is absolutely brilliant! Thank you ChrisFix. I love that you show the things that go wrong and how to overcome them. Those are always the types of things I burn hours and hours on.
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.
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!
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!
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.
This is what I'm doing to my 94 Honda Accord and this video is very helpful. Having some trouble removing the inner tie rod and I accidently stripped the lower ball joint threads (oops). Never really worked on stuff like this before but enjoy learning new things. Thank you for the awesome videos and keep up the great work!
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.
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.
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.
Thank you so much for your directional videos Chris! Saved me hundreds doing my own brakes and now I have the tools and knowledge to do it again in the future! Keep up the great work sir.
Bravo , very good Video , thank yo u , could you tell us more about those Anti Rust paints you use ? Where to find them and how to apply them ? Thank you .

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
Thanks for showing us. Your a great mechanic and RUclipsr.
Thanks!
You're *
He’s not a great mechanic he’s the best of the best on RUclips

@@richardrahadi tough times

Very comprehensive video! Great examples, good audio as well 🙏🏽Class in session!
Your videos have helped me save so much money. Thanks.
Awesome!!! That’s what I like to hear!!!
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
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
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
You never disappoint! It's like Chrisfixmas...
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!
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!
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
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!
I think I know why the video was restricted 7:05 😜
Hahahaha that was hysterical
Andrew Hahn wow just noticed haha😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAHAH🤣🤣
Ah....ooh? oooh.....
It wasn’t restricted
On Kelly Blue Book, there is a question that asks: "Is this car owned by ChrisFix?" If yes, then no depreciation is accounted for.
Haha, imagine!
ChrisFix is the 🐐 of youtube mechanics for sure.
Hector Martinez he is a goat?
@moistcorn Greatest of all time
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!
Yessss finally!!! Been waiting for hours for this!!!
Sameeeeeee
This video is absolutely brilliant! Thank you ChrisFix. I love that you show the things that go wrong and how to overcome them. Those are always the types of things I burn hours and hours on.
Thanks and glad the video was helpful!!!
Can't wait until next week's episode!
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.
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
Your videos are awesome! They help people of all mechanical skill levels with a variety of tasks! Thank you and keep up the great work!
This is the teacher i wish i had. Not mechanically inclined but willing to learn.😊
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!
7:01 years of academy training coming to use
Stfu 😂🤣😂
@@river9920 hahahahaahah
I was waiting on a comment like this to pop up LMFAOOOOOO
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!
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.
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
26 yo, final year med student here.... I am using his video to reduce stress level couple of days before big exam :) LOL I don't even own a car
Thank you for showing the Honda axel nut removal. My RAV4 was like this. Helpful. Thank you
You would make an amazing mechanic teacher man, good job, well thought out, planned and executed. Make it look so easy
damn Daniel back at it again with the 5 star content
ChrisFix: Makes it look so easy
Me: Two weeks later I’m still working😞
Danny P. And now u got a piece of junk on ur driveway that can’t drive
I Sheldon cooper want 1,000 subscribers 😂😂😂😂😂
Are you really still working
@@bosstime4416 prob
Bruh if you watch this videos and you still can’t get it done in 3 days then it’s just you my guy
This is what I'm doing to my 94 Honda Accord and this video is very helpful. Having some trouble removing the inner tie rod and I accidently stripped the lower ball joint threads (oops). Never really worked on stuff like this before but enjoy learning new things. Thank you for the awesome videos and keep up the great work!
YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONGG!
Sweeeeet!
OH HELL FUDGING YES I THOUHGHT YOU SOLD THIS CAR
you are so lucky to have the Del Sol for just 300$!!!
Never! I want to fix it up and make it my own!
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
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.
Hey guys! ChrisFix here and today we are gonna build an entire space shuttle using common hand tools at home!.
Honestly have always used a machine shop to press out bearings
@@TheRealImpertinent Nothing wrong with that! A hammer works as well haha
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.
Dude I love this Video! Makes me want to get another 90’s Honda!
Thank you so much for your directional videos Chris! Saved me hundreds doing my own brakes and now I have the tools and knowledge to do it again in the future! Keep up the great work sir.
Wow, I’m completely hooked on your videos! You explain everything with such clarity and simplicity, like a great teacher guiding a child ❤
Bravo , very good Video , thank yo u , could you tell us more about those Anti Rust
paints you use ? Where to find them and how to apply them ?
Thank you .
They look like Eastwood products.
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..
