    Pinche al! Love the videos! But hey, know you are replacing the tie Rod ends but for those who remove them without replacing hem, you should inform them of the way to remove it without damaging it. There is a little rectangle pad on the steering knuckle that you hit with a dead blow, maybe 1 or 2 good hits and it pops out without damaging anytbkng. That's what the part on the knuckle is for.

    The lube for those bushings not only help them go in but it is also supposed to help them from squeaking so you do want to put some on the bushing itself because it will basically squeegee it out. Also getting an acid brush helps keep it from getting everywhere that you touch because that stuff is really sticky

    thanks dude good lookin out! for anyone that broke off that nut in the subframe you can get it with a clothing hangar and screwdrivers, I had someone hold it in place with a flathead while putting in new bolt

    Jubilee/hose clamp around the smaller bushing helps out loads.

    You will need an alignment after that, even if no tie rod removed. Ball joint out is enough reason

    Not a good idea these polyurethane bushings. The rubber ones in metal outer ring is designed with a directional fitment for a good reason.

    I love this video, until I went to install the ball joint that connects to the control arm. It just spins when I put the locking nut on. There is a place to hold the stud(allen) coming out of the ball joint but of course the Axle needs to come out to it. So how did you pull this job off without pulling the axle out of the hub?

    • @dharm3974
      @dharm3974 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Very carefully apply a small amount of jacking force upwards against the bottom of the ball joint. Not much, just enough to press the tapered stud into it's steering knuckle home and give you enough bite to prevent it from turning with the nut. If it still turns you must have some grease and grime on the mating surfaces.

    Which size socket did you need to remove the larger bushing at 14:12?

    Thx for the video. I'm doing lcas, tierods, swaybar bushings and ran into a snag. The ball joint nuts are frozen. Used wd40 rust release penatrant to no avail.
    The lca bj nut wont spin and I can't get to the t40 torx cuz it is blocked by the axle. The tierod nut moved 3 threads and the t40 hole stripped. How do you remove each in these situations.
    The front/rear lca bushing bolts anf 3-13mm bolts removed w/o issue.

    Dude. I cannot get the smaller bushings in. It’s gotten to the point where I’m removing material off of the lip to make it go in. It keeps gettin fat in the middle and WILL NOT go in.

    • @PincheALsGarage
      @PincheALsGarage  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah they are a major pain to install. Are you using a curved set of vice grips to help with the middle of the bushing. Plus use a lot of the lube they provide.

  • @zaratrusta79
    @zaratrusta79 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why is solid poly a "big upgrade"? Do you think VW wouldn't make them solid if it was better? They are made of rubber and have holes for a reason - they are intended to act like a small shock absorber. Using full rubber or solid is only advisable for racing or if you drive exclusively on perfect roads. If that is not the case they are bound to fail and/or put a lot of stress on the other suspension components.

    • @PincheALsGarage
      @PincheALsGarage  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Funny thing they did made them solid on the R32 and Audi TT because it is better.
      They increase road feel and provide much better steering response.
      That is why a lot of people go to R32/TT soild Bushings or poly

    • @PincheALsGarage
      @PincheALsGarage  ปีที่แล้ว

      Anything but stock will increase more stress on the equipment that is why we upgrade everything else to help overall not just Bushings

    • @zaratrusta79
      @zaratrusta79 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@PincheALsGarage i didn’t know that detail, interesting. But again, even between a 90hp and 130hp TDI there are big differences in things like clutch etc - not just the hp difference. So yes provided you upgrade other components as well I guess solid bushings can be a good upgrade.

      @@zaratrusta79 even back in my mk2 days running coilovers I would use the r32 solid bushings , they would still get wrecked riding low but they would outlast the stock bushings with the holes . I don't think personally I would run poly bushings on a tdi (just me) but I'm about to install the r32/ tt bushings on my tdi golf they seem to be a better option then the "cut out" stock versions and a bit more durable
