    I appreciate you are a very good teacher that's one of the number one things to be in a good teacher is being visibly out of the way so you can see what you're working on and you do that thank you

    Ah the early days! Mr. O sure has changed for the better. The early ones are good videos, the later ones have great commentary, humor and of course, EXCELLENT repair work like the older ones.

    I gotta replace the ball joints on my car, I have these man-sized pot holes to thank for.
    I guess it's pot-luck when it comes to aftermarket parts.

    Eric, have you seen the video that the other Eric made replacing a ball joint? I believe it was in a Nissan Sentra. He popped out the old one which was loose as can be, then tried to put the new Moog one in and seen it just slid right in too easily. Lol so he proceeded to blame moog for making the ball joint too small and comes up with the brilliant idea of putting a couple tiny, very amateur, tack welds on the top to keep it In place... claiming its "better than a press in one that would have fit"! It's a must see, haha. Thank you for showing your viewers there are good mechanics out their that genuinely care about their safety and do the job right the first time;)

    • @SouthMainAuto
      @SouthMainAuto  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Nick Schneider Yeah I saw it, in my book that is a very halfassed repair but that is how he wants to conduct his business then that is his prerogative. In that case the control arm was an aftermarket one clearly and should have been replaced. It is the only option IMO.

Always straight forward and to the point. And with a little humor too LOL thanks brother

      Not at all. We use them pretty much everyday. Lightweight and has plenty of torque. The batteries last all day. We bought ours from Home Depot ( that's where I found the best price ). Free shipping and they have a 3 year warranty. I have been very pleased.

  • @alb12345672
    @alb12345672 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Those long sleeved bolts scare me. Just did a 95 Continental strut and ball joint (same as Taurus) for a relative, with original struts in the front knuckle. Spent 2 hours pounding out the damn 14mm pinch bolt - ended up having to get new hardware after using a ball joint press to get it out. Used every penetrating oil and some heat (it is aluminum, don't want to get it too hot). Had an impact working on it too. That LCA tool would have come in handy.

    • @SouthMainAuto
      @SouthMainAuto  9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      When I read the *_"for a relative"_* part I knew this wasn't gonna end well haha The LCA tool is pretty great. Saves a lot of monkeying around...

  • @thomasstreetman8066
    @thomasstreetman8066 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had a 1999 Dodge Dakota Sport a while back that needed new lower ball joints and controls arms. I bought new Moog parts but after comparing them to the old Dodge parts the Moogs weren't as beefy. I was able to find new OEM parts for the Dodge on eBay and install them. Why would the Moogs not be identical to the old OEM parts?

  • @letscook1761
    @letscook1761 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a 2014 hyundai sonata. I replaced the bearings. I had to take out and apart the lower ball joint. When I put the lower ball joint back in it seems to be in all the way but the ball joint sticks out a little bit and the top and seems to be crooked, but the bolt that secures it goes in. My question is I was wondering if the lower ball joint when put it back together is in all the way?

  • @tnamen1307

    @richmullins1665 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have the exact model that you're working on in this video, right down to the color..lol.186,000 mi.
    it's been great but now everything is starting to go. My question is I just had the right front CV joint & half axle replaced which is fine but when I dropped it off at the shop I also mentioned a low speed "shimmy" from the front end that radiated through the steering wheel very much. I figured it was due to the CV joint...but it wasn't! The mechanic said everything was fine during the road test but when I drove off it shook the steering wheel just as much as it did before..!!! Do you think I could have a belt that slipped in the tire ( inspected tires nothing apparent) or possibly another front end piece that is making it shake like crazy until you get to about 60mph! Any advice would be greatly appreciated,,, Thanks

    hey, do you normally install moog (aftermarket) , or do you first recommend OEM when you tell your customer you have a bad steering suspension component.
    Thanks.

    • @BrandonTejadaSkates
      @BrandonTejadaSkates 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Personally I recommend OEM 10/10 times. Unless you're talking like a humongous difference in price. I'm just that kind of guy, I've seen too many aftermarket parts just not work the way they're intended too, or they simply don't fit properly and cause issues down the line. OEM will always be worth it.
      Check out his video on the Dodge Dakota front axle noise. That is the PRECISE reason I never recommend aftermarket, lol.

    • @jackslater230011
      @jackslater230011 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree 100%. When it comes to parts like steering, suspension and braking, I ONLY buy OEM for my daily driver. The parts are made to work specifically with my car, no modification necessary, and of course the quality is unparalleled. Plus, OEM parts for my car aren't much more than "quality" aftermarket parts anyway.

    • @BrandonTejadaSkates
      @BrandonTejadaSkates 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I see people buy really cheap brakes and it just isn't worth it. Especially on later model cars. Like the cars that have this whole auto braking safety features. For example I work for Volvo and most of the cars from 2011 up have the feature. When people put aftermarket pads on the car, if City Safety activates it might not stop the car as effectively as it would with the brakes designed specifically for the csr

    • @jackslater230011
      @jackslater230011 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know exactly what you mean. I once bought brake rotors from Autozone's shitty Duralast line, and the two front rotors were warped within two weeks. You get what you pay for. As for the auto-braking feature, I have no clue. My daily driver is a 2004 Kia Spectra, and my weekend toy is a 1986 Mustang. I don't know a lot about modern cars.

    I have a 2010 hyundai santa fe awd it's eating the front tires off I got brand new front tires for it 4 months ago and there already worn out and I also had a all 4 wheel alignment when I bought the new front tires I'm not sure why it's going through tires like that any idea on what can cause it to do that?

      who is doing your alignment. They should tell you if you have any worn parts that could cause this before they do the alignment. if you are doing firestone or any company like that, that is probably your problem. Go to hunters website, they pretty much make the worlds best, dummy proof alignment machine. a reputable tech should be able to find out the issue. suspensions aren't rock science. What kind of wear do you have? Note that tire pressure is huge! you should check them at least once a month, especially during change of season. Follow what is says on your door sticker, not what someone thinks is good tire pressure.

      hunters website has a locator for there machines, find one near by and cross reference yelp for good reviews.

      Found out that it might be a bad strut and but they told me it was just the tires I bought but it was still in perfect alignment. The shop that does mine is pretty good place done review on them and they done some other alignments to my other vehicles with no problem.

      Sounds like you have an incompetent mechanic.

      No doubt you've moved on but could be the front bush on the front lower control arm. Ok static alignment but when driving the wheels splay out grinding the inside of the tyres.
