I donate my car to show other sounds and systems. That will show case noses that mean suspension sway bars and more. Doing repairs now.

She’s awesome! Every school needs a auto teacher like her. Honestly she makes me feel so confident in my projects. Great job 1A Auto!
A lot of these repairs I can't do on my own. No shop. No ramp. Living in an apartment complex, no private garage, no electrical outlet, no storage for equipment or tools, but good knowledge in the videos for future reference or to bring up eith my mechanic. I like the mechanic in the video. She sort of speaks in layman's terms, so I understand what she is explaining. Very knowledgeable. 👍.

You're literally making excuses. I live in NYC in an apartment and keep simple tools to do all the work on my car myself while freezing my ass off on the sidewalk. You don't need a garage, electrical outlet, no private garage, etc. All you need is the determination to do the job.

Try to find a spot in your neighborhood you can do some work at and not bother anyone.. unless it is against the rules of the neighborhood and they enforce it.
Sue is my favorite tech. She does a great job explaining things in a way that just makes sense. Just subscribed to see if she will be on more often :D

You won't be disappointed.
I love seeing these real world issues and how to fix them. So over those shows pitching $10000 tools that they only show being used on new cars. More rusty old vehicle repairs please!
This lady does a real good job explaining things you can tell she loves doing this
You are SO awesome. I am a female who has to work on my own f150. You have opened my eyes to a lot of things. But you make it look so EASY!! it's still hard for me, but you definitely draw the picture of "how things work". Thank you
I absolutely hate working on cars because of how intimidating it can be. The way you explain all of these things really helps. Thank you.
Great video. 1A Auto has helped me diagnose, order the correct part from them, and repair many issues with my vehicles. The real time video of the problem helps a lot.
I haven't been able to diagnose the problem with my Maxima for months after watching many many many videos. Finally, someone has answered my questions with clarity! Thank you ma'am
Great video! Very informative, and her delivery was enjoyable. I like her and the ginger guy. They are very good.
You're awesome Sue! You speak well, you have interest and passion and you explain things clearly! Thank You
I think she just solved an issue I've been experiencing at high speeds as well. Whether or not this is the case, the information was invaluable because I was out of ideas. Ironically I just happened on this video today. Thank you, Sue and team. Yall are exceptional.
Another outstanding video from you guys. I just redid the entire front suspension on my crown vic. All went well but the Pittman arm was a bear. Had to cut it and drive a chisel in it to get it off .
One of the BEST suspension noise diagnostic videos I have seen. Excellent job 👍
I’m having exactly this noise after doing some “unplanned” offroading and was freaking out!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
I really like this mechanic! She got into every problem I am working on this weekend! I bought 1A parts on Amazon and am excited for them to arrive. Thanks for all of the mazing videos!!!!!
09 scion xb.. both tie rod ends are ripped letting debris get it. These guys are legends with these kids man. Props always. I'm getting mine done..
Swear, these videos from you guys teach me A LOT! I practically learned everything i know from you guys! Thumbs up and thank you guys A LOT!
I love the way she explained the situation on motor vehicle problem. Makes it easier to understand. ❤❤❤
Functional explanations like this are the best. Well done.
Best tutorial on front suspension I've watched yet and I've watched a lot of them
Awesome video! You are a natural teacher! I learned so much! Thanks.
This video popped up at the right time! I have a sound and thanks to this video I have a good idea of what might be causing it! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
i'm from new england and i swear you have to be related to my high school tech ed teacher!! hahaha Best host on 1A ! :)
Very good video! Maybe the best 1A video to date. Great teacher. Good education. Thanks.
Those control arm bushings sound exactly like mine so pretty sure that's my issue, thanks so much my usual mechanic just said everything looked fine when I asked him about it
First time seeing this gal in your videos. She is great. Best one at communicating, in my humble opinion.
Thank you for clear and concise information.
This gal is on point and a dynamic speaker directly to you like you are there. Not a presentation. Keep it up.

I love you brake it down like no other did. Thank you
EXCELLENT Breakdown of Everything!! I Enjoyed her Presentation. Thank you.
8:35 am. I have never seen this mechanic before. At first I thought oh no. But she was excellent 👍
Her and lenny are my favorite technicians
another great video by you Sue. Thanks.
Luv your diy vids your cover so much and very easy to follow ,thank you
Thanks so much for your video!! Losing my mind trying to figure out what was causing the strange wum-wum-wum loud road sound in the front end of my 2001 Silverado ext cab 2WD. Was considering the wheel bearing assembly might be to blame. Still have to wiggle the wheel and test for that. Tires are showing a little cupping.. been making the sound for about a month or so now. Just this week it started that nasty creaking sound you so clearly demonstrate in your video. Got to jack the thing up tomorrow and do some investigating. Thanks for the wonderful information!!
I have 2 foresters like the one in the beginning of the video and have always had slight wobble at high speeds. I always saw the control arm bushings were dry but Mechanics told me not to worry about it. Great info👍

Let it be known...you are loved! Keep up the great videos
This is very helpful. I just replaced front struts/shocks on my odyssey, now the steering shakes over 60 pmh. Now I know what to check for.
5:39 at the Honda dealership those were always getting reccomended or replaced. Some years required the entire arm. Great video
Very good teaching. You covered 2 things that 2 of my vehicles are suffering from right now
Amazing video. Clearly explained. Loved watching.
Man you are great. Please keep making videos you're very detailed and great at explaining.
She’s the best! Love her videos!
Thank you for those tips. You are very knowledgeable.
I had a control arm start to come apart from rust. I was surprised because the car was in really good shape with low mileage. Fortunately I found it before it found me. I got new parts from this channel. She’s been good since.
A lot of very good information. I like all the visuals, and explanations that followed them. 👍

Where are these people when I need to bring my vehicles in? Hearing the sounds really helps me.
Awesome video, well explained and easy to understand with the highlight on how the parts work. I've been looking for an explanation like this for a while. Thank you Liked and Subscribed.
Good video. I had a rattle in my Volov V70 recently, and it was sway bar links. Done my control arms 3 times. Doing tie rod ends right now - I have sounds when I make left turns - left inner one is bad.
I love you lady. I will definitely trust my car repair with you. You are very passionate about your job.

For a Taurus/Explorer/Flex, its not easy to replace a lower control arm bushing, need a heavy duty press, easier to replace entire arm assembly. Another great video

Primera vez que veo una mujer mecanica ademas de explicar bien es guapa, eh visto apenas un par de videos de ella y me parecen estupendos ya aprendi porque mi carro tiene ruidos en la suspension. Felicitaciones y gracias.
Thank you so much for this video سپاسگزارم
Most informative video i have seen!!
My sway bars clunking BAD on my passenger side in the front . I was glad to find out it was cheap and not a major life threatening issue
Great information thank you
Thank you sis. Well done. Tidewater VA
I wish i could find a mechanic that i could trust. ... ❤
Give that lady a raise!!
Thanks a lot for this video,when I see woman know so much about mechanics actually its encourage me to learn repairing my own car.👏💯
Great stuff. My highlander is going in tomorrow for some thump clunk in the front. We’ll see what they say.
Thank you for this advice you did a good job👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the video. 😎
Great video super informative!
Good explanation of the mechanics
Thanks. Have nice day👍🙏🏾
hey Sue! your hair looks really good in this video!
Great job 👍🏻
I saw some lateral movement in the lower ball joint also probably causing the "clunking" noise. In my experience these parts usually all go bad at the same time or one right after another. There's most likely the whole lower control arm including the lower ball joint that you can buy and replace at once fixing both problems. One more thing I might add is that once you hit 100000 miles or close to it they start failing.
Informative 100%
Another awesome video 👍.
Sue your the GOAT
Thank you
Great job
