Chris Fixx - thanks a ton dude. Bought a 1998 F150 with 160k miles and after getting shammed by local shop decided to take a shot at doing my own work. Your videos have enabled me to replaced tie rods, shocks, brake lines, complete brake jobs (front and back), points, plugs, belts, and rear spring brackets over the past three years. The truck now has 198k and I drive it on weekends to drive around town, haul, help neighbors, and family members that need use of a truck. Thank you for taking the lead in providing the knowledge to do these jobs.

My honda is making clicking noise when turning left or right after it's been parked for a while. Especially reversing backward. The dealership said they couldn't find the issue.

Thank you for not droning on. Usually, I get bored halfway through youtube car videos because it's over-explained but you gave us just the right amount of information with narration that fit with your video to make it easy to follow. Doing my own tie rod inspections tomorrow!

Thanks, Chris! I stumbled upon your vids when researching why my 84 Vanagon was feeling like it had lost its NON-power steering. Your comforting and confident talk-thru made me feel confident enough to self-diagnose my tie rod problems. Thanks!

This is by far one of the best videos on KZread. You spoke at a fast pace and also thoroughly gave enough information that was easy to follow.

One good way to prevent excessive wear on your front end suspension and steering components is to whenever possible, let the car move forward or backward a little while turning the wheel. Thereby putting less strain on the system.

It takes less effort to turn the tire if the vehicle is moving. Usually if it were to take 30 lbs of force to turn the wheel when not inmotion it would take 5-8 lbs of force to turn the wheel of you are inmotion ie rolling forward or backwards as you turn. These are not scientific measurements they are just example to give you an idea of the different forces required.

STRAIGHT TO THE POINT 💯 Give this dude a show, wish all YT vids were this direct, THX

I had the play left to right but then my buddy noticed the steering wheel moving. After one of us held the wheel there was no play at all. Could that still be tie rod issues or did the steering just not lock? Maybe also to note just one tire was off the ground.

Chris Tips!!

First off let me say I love your videos Chris...definitely the best videography, and that’s huge since you’re also clear and concise. So my question is, can your car shake if you have a tie rod end that’s shot?! I just performed a hub and bearing assembly install along with upper and lower ball joint replacements and I believe I over tightened the tie rod end nut but it seemed like it was ready to go soon too...you think it’s the tie rod end that’s causing the shaking when I brake at higher speeds and I hear shaking when I’m turning at higher speeds?

You are amazing at this! Thanks for being clear, simple, direct, and high quality video. Subscribed and will be back! Thanks!

Thanks . I had hit the side of the curve tire ripped. Got it replaced with used tire. Check air pressure came up on my Buick. I decided to have other 3 wheels balanced with each weight. Left later 45 mph car front car shakes bit. Mechanic said he will look at it on lift and see if anything is loose.

james walsh Tie rods really aren’t that expensive. At least outer tie rods aren’t, the issue is an alignment. Depending on where you go they can be upwards of 300 bucks. Whenever you change a tie rod you really need to get an alignment so you save a little doing it yourself but the alignment’s what’ll get you in the end.

Excellent tips Chris. Will inspect my 99 Tahoe 4 wheel drive today. Shop said I need everything for front end at $1,000 price tag. Will tackle tie rods first. Hoping to save 1/2.

First this is the hands down best car repair video I've ever came across. Thank You. Now my question is what would be causing a noise on the highway that sounds like the right front tire is bad (it's not) if you pull to the left it goes away. Also if you make a sharp right turn, turning in to parking spot for example, it will pop. 4 new tires alignment is straight. Old tires had slightly more wear on the outer but not much. Anyway thank you again for such a straight forward video.
