I hate the the bracket is backwards, because it should be adjustable for more downward force, but now it can't be adjusted, and looks like it's at the wrong angle to give downward force. You made a good effort, but it looks messed up due to the wrong angle.

Great vid, I was hoping to find out what you did with the ride hight, since I am having the "opposite" problem. I live in Germany in a neighborhood with annyoing speedbumps so I maxed out the ride hight in my coilovers (both all the way to the top) still looks good but, the front left is 1.4-1.6 cm higher than the other and I dont know why. I didnt drive into the tirewall, my neighbor hit the front left (higher side) while parking.
@spec_eggАй бұрын
So the left side is sitting taller after your neighbor hit the car? Does it affect your handling? If you’re unable to get a good alignment then some suspension bit is probably messed up.

Hey, came across your video and I also live in an San Jose. I was ASE master auto tech for many years and now I do professinal detailing. From the loom of your paint you didn't have a high quality ceramic coating and also the water here in SJ is very hard and has high mineral content and it can leave water spots in just a few min of water being on the paint on a sunny day. Using an acid based mineral deposit remover (3D is not that great) is the first step to try and remove the water spots, but at your level of spotting you need a light polish and reapplication of the ceramic coating. You prob only need to do the flat surfaces like the hood, roof and trunk. I. The future if you want to avoid the spotting you need a topper coating like Geyon Skin over your ceramic coating. The topper is specifically designed to force the water beads that the ceramic coating produces to slide of the paint. The two go together like peanut butter and jelly. As I mentioned I also live in San Jose and deal with the same problem as a detailer and I have done tons of ceramic coatings on cars with toppers and they don't have this issue. If you're interested drop me a message and bring your car by sometime and I can help you out

Using a wax is much better for cars that regularly get exposed to hard water. The minerals dry on the wax instead of the paint and are much easier to remove.

What I do (because I’m cheap): I always carry an empty plastic soft drink bottle in my backpack. If on a long flight, I bring a larger empty plastic bottle (bring a small cup in case filling the plastic water bottle is impossible at the water fountain). After going thru security, I fill the water bottle with water before boarding. You can stick the water bottle in the pocket behind the seat in front of you during the flight. If You're still thirsty after drinking all your water, then buy a bottle. I also bring a small empty thermos (keep hot water hot for 5+ hours… can buy at Don Quijote) in my backpack... and when in the terminal, buy coffee from a terminal eatery like Starbucks then fill the thermos before boarding. I also bring a nice cushiony $8 neck pillow which I bought at Ross and sit on it during the flight to keep my butt from getting sore. Because many airlines today don’t provide an entertainment monitor on the seat in front of you, for my in-flight entertainment, I just bring a soft-covered book to read and a journal notebook to write in. When flying to the mainland, we bring over a dozen sushi in a plastic container. and/or a plastic container of Spam Musubi, But I think worth buying the meals on ZipAir flight to Narita… I heard ZipAir meals are pretty good. Make sure you buy your meals when you make your reservations… to preclude not getting one on the flight cause they ran out. A plastic zip-lock bag of cookies (Oreos) will satisfr your munchy cravings during the flight.. I always bring a warm jacket to use as my blanket. Me, no need buy blanket. Also, I wear a long sleeve t-shirt on the flight... And long athletic socks to keep the feet warm. Bring a portable digital scale to measure the weight of your luggage when flying back. Precludes over-weight-limit luggage. We also bring a couple of plastic hangers and a plastic bag of clothes pins so we can wash our undies and t-shirts during showers and hang up. Hopefully clothes will dry overnite. Don't wash undies and t-shirts the night before you leave your hotel as you want a day for all to dry. Happy travels!

You didn’t measure the pilot bearing before removal and I did not see you mark your driveshaft before removal. That is more than likely the cause of your shudder. Your issue was a bearing noise only on a cold start before acceleration. Your pilot bearing had probably gone out of spec, but your new pilot bearing needs to be at the same depth as the old one, and your driveshaft orientation also has to be the same as when removed.
