Can't get new one lined up. That car has wayyyy more play than mine. It turns but that pushing in that you are doing...doesn't work on this one. There is no pushing in.

This is by enlarge, the most completely understandable and comprehensive repair video...ive ever watched! Thank You sir!!..honest days work for an honest days pay...appreciate that! good for ones soul...more folks outta try it!

Good, practical and common sense mechanic. No BS. Just 'Get Er Done! My kind of guy. Hat Tip to You Sir......

you're pretty detailed with your videos I like it. Thank you

Super helpful. Thanks for the video, man!

Great video, this is gonna help me a lot.

That looked simple enough. I'm comfortable to do the tie rod ends, but am a little worried about the ball joint. This made it look doable. Thanks. I will advise how it goes.

Excellent tutorial. Thank you!

Good job. Thank you

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you 🌷

Good advice about getting a front end alignment. For about 75 bucks, you can get your tires to last years longer, and they will also let you know if you have any other sketchy suspension components.

Thanks mate :)

I like the moog sway bar links because you can put a wrench on them when you tighten the bolts down instead of those stupid allen key holes the factory ones have. Hate those things.

Hello ,is it possible to replace the ball joint without removing the other 2 ?

My sources say yes

Over the years when I replace the tie rods/ends, I string and mark things and put things back to within the tolerances every time . I have often been complimented by the alignment shop. They seem amazed. It is not hard to put things back the way they were. But I do recommend an alignment and I will be getting one when I replace the ends and the tires later this year. Years back we replaced the tie rod ends on my friends GM Suburban, and the darn things fell right out similar to what happened in this video! He could have lost steering at any time.

How do you string up, and put back the alignment the same way when the front end is loose?

Do you have any videos on air conditioner for a 2007 Kia Rio how to check to see if it clutch is froze up the belts turn

Not fir a kia. I have other ac vids. If the belts turn, you can try to turn the compressor by hand, and energize the cluch with 12v to see if it pulls in.

I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna show you how to do a outer tie rod and a lower ball joint and uh and uh sway bar link on a 2006 kia RIOOOOHH

On my 2008 Kia Rio I'm hearing a popping noise on the driver's side when I accelerate and turn the wheel. I shook the wheel and there is some movement, yet I can't pinpoint what suspension pieces need replacing. Many of the rubber parts on the lower control arms, ball joints, sway bar links are dried and cracked. Should I just replace all this stuff even though I cannot pinpoint it? When I shake the wheel you can see some movement like the strut has some movement, but I don't think the strut is bad.

Its usually an axle.

Do you drive it and check the shocks at the same time?

There are many ways to check shocks, and struts, and most of the time driving the car is not one of them.

Of the thousands of alignments I have done, replacing more than 1 tie rod, there were only 2 cars that did not need adjustment on the alignment rack. You might have a "good enough" alignment.

No, the manufacturer's never think about the poor mechanic! If they did, curse words would've never been invented!

Okay byeee 😅

LOL Basicly all the joints went south. I'm suprised the car was not serviced until this point

Master procrastinator. She knew she needed a timing belt too. Procrastinated on that, not long after it broke, wrecked the engine, and junked the car.
