      Just out of curiosity, do you use air tools, battery powered, or AC powered? A possible video idea would be what power tools to buy first to maximize "bang for the buck" and also what types are best and or most cost effective.

    Hey I love your videos! Just a little tip and I'm not sure it applies to all manufacturer but you should loosen the control arm bolts so that the bushing from the lower control arms doesn't get prematurely torn. When the pinch bolt is still tight while the control arm goes down, you're twisting the bushing to a point where it gets torn. But all in all, lobe your video.

    • @chrisfix
      @chrisfix  7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Thanks and great question, the preload on these is done when you drop the car down onto the ground. With the spring completely lowered like I have it, there is about 1in of movement the spring can move (since the wheels are completely extended downwards off the ground which never happens when you drive (or so you hope that never happens lol). Once the car is lowered, the springs engage the top seat and that is when they are loaded.
