Hey, Mr. Kilmer. I have a question, if you could help me. I have a 2005 3.3L Dodge Grand Caravan. Smoke coming from under the hood, over heats sometimes, coolant leak, heater doesn't work properly, but it will work occasionally. What could be the problem, and would a radiator flush/cleaning help??? I know you're a busy man, but If you could get back to me i would really appreciate it, thank you.
Scotty I am a regular subscriber now for many years. You recommend Akebono brake pads, but I wish you would recommend the double gas shocks that you were speaking of. I know bilsteins are really good shocks and you've mentioned KYB however these only last about 50,000 miles. Honda original equipment shocks last much longer. Is there a shock besides KYB that you can recommend? Also is there a shock that really absorbs bumps and makes the car ride more smoothly than bouncing over and crashing over bumps and Imperfections in the road? I would love to see more information on this topic.
Shock absorbers do not transfer load to the opposite side of the vehicle in a turn. Shock absorbers, more properly called dampers, do one thing and one thing only; they resist/damp suspension movement. This prevents uncontrolled wheel travel due to springs (including tires) storing and releasing energy, and controls vertical body movement.
Shock test. Go to the bumper of your vehicle. Push down with all your weight and then release the bumper. The car should rise up and stop with no bounce.if the car bounces up and down a couple of times the shocks are worn out.
Thank you Doctor Scotty you are absolutely fantastic at teaching, I'm glad you decided to become a gifted mechanic instead of using your PhD in an academic setting..we lucked out and you are an incredible teacher
Word. I have learned so much from this channel. I'm a girl. Dad taught me lots of things growing up but I had to pester him to get him to really show me stuff. Dad is a mechanical engineer but can practically build a vehicle. Save for the computer programming stuff he doesn't have a fancy Scotty scanning/programming tool. Scotty keep teaching us. I'm an MD in the US. We are going to start retiring early (I'm 40). Definitely looking into energy engineering. Tesla's system is trash. Learn from the masters while they are still alive!
@@AF_1892 me too I retired early from a line of duty injury as a New York City Firefighter and also as a diesel mechanic of 12 yrs for the county I live in. But I didn't work on cars so it's cool to get up to date info from Scotty and he is why I'm buying a lexus soon so lexus should send him an award because many of his followers bought Toyota or honda because of him
Great content Scotty. If you get the opportunity to expand on schocks, could you also talk about off-road setups like: progressive springs, long travel setups, remote reservoir shocks, hydraulic bump stops, and also what is involved in maintenance of these more advanced setups? I found these topics to be a bit complex and there is not much information out there where it’s explained in your helpful and straightforward manner. Thanks!
You’re normally such a Goofball Scotty, but you proved to me you’re also a science teacher in this video. Thanks for showing the difference between dual and single tube shocks. Finding the best shocks for your ride is always a gamble. Too rough or too soft. It’s always a risk of having to try a couple types to get your personal taste dialed in. I just put KYB ExcelG on my jeep and am already wondering what Bikstein 5100 or KYB Gas A Just would have felt like.
It’s different for every vehicle and what kind of shock. Some shocks don’t last too long while other last a really long time. Just replace them when you notice your car isn’t riding great or bouncing a lot.
Heavy duty shocks also stabilize a vehicle extremely well. Put 4 higher priced Gabriel heavy duty shocks on my Explorer a few years ago and it was like night & day compared to the cheap garbage gas shocks that were in there and it rides real tight with no wandering & with much more stability since they were installed.
The stock shocks we're worn out in a 1979 Oldsmobile I used to own so bad that over a dip in the road it would smack the bottom against ground once maybe even two or three times and was horrible around turns rocking side to side after making a turn. So I replaced them with Monroe Nascar Sensatrac shocks. The out comes was a 100 times better shocks. The dip in the road with new shocks barrely caused the car to move up and down and the car would level out immediately after making a turn. It was a great improvement by far.
45 years ago took rear shocks off to swap out defective and drove 12 miles to town, sans any rear shocks. Bounced up and down like being on a water bed, felt weird. Bought load helper springs and mounted on stretched out heavy duty shocks. Much better, actually handled better on curved roads.
I changed over to Bilstien gas shocks and struts years ago. Great dampers, very nice ride. Last a long time. My first set started getting a little soft around 100k miles. They can also be rebuilt. They do cost more though. I remember reading Bilstein said it cost them more to make a stem seal than what other manufacturers charged for a whole shock. I thought roll or sway bars transfered energy to the other side of vehicles, not shocks. They just dampen the spring action.
Love your videos, literally just bought struts for my vehicle that we’re made in China, they sucked, returned them and asked for an stateside manufactured brand…they said all they had was Monroe, I said hell no and went to the dealer for OEM LOL
I bought a 2010 prius today with a little over 200k miles paid $3500 kbb says its worth around 4500-6000 even with the miles and it's in great shape no rust or anything wrong with it it was really really well maintained thanks to you and your love of toyota
Great Video! I love this style! At first I thought you would talk about shock absorbers, then springs, and then struts. As much as I liked this video, all of your suspension shot looked to be struts. I would love to see you explain all of those different components. I know most passenger cars have struts. Trucks have have struts up front but shock absorbers, and springs in the back. Hope you do another video like this that goes more in depth with all suspensions. Great Vid!
2007 Highlander, just over 250,000 miles. All original except tires, battery, timing belt (& water pump) alternator and of course all fluids, especially motor oil. 🙃
Thank you for this video!! Very helpful!! I did ask a well known guy who restores cars in Utah has a well know tv show what shocks to use when I went to big car event in Los Angeles. He wanted me to talk to his main guy who recommended a German company for 4X4. No complaints. I was going to get the popular Rancho, & told other company has better shock for 4X4 at big 4X4 event. I hope a lot of people see this helping them decide the best shocks for vehicle. Remember never buy one shock also get two.
@@Thirdgen83 I never learned about the inner workings of shocks. Never really cared. But I’ve been fixing cars, trucks, mowers, and JET AIRCRAFT for over 40 years. Nice try, son…

I'm still a little confused about shocks & there was no mention why most newer cars & trucks have struts & the advantage of struts over a regular spring & shocks design. Maybe a good subject for another video.
@Mark Codiroli Thank you for the explanation. One other stupid question you might be able to answer for me.: When building hot rods, we used Koni spring over shocks & bolted or welded on 4 links to replace the original shocks & leaf springs mainly for drag racing purposes. What would to the ride & stability of a car or truck overall. I know when I did this to my truck at the time, I could carry a lot more weight than with the original rear suspension.
Thank you for the “shock treatment.” I have come back to reality - I need to change my shocks. Ford 150 - Biilstein from my research. I live in Baja Sur MX and most the roads are NOT flat but they do let you know you are alive. 😀
The easy way to tell if your shocks are weak. Is roll down your window and listen at hwy speeds for a flapping sound from your tires over hwy expansion joints. If you tires are giving off a flap flap sound. your good! The shocks are working as they should. If you hear a dull thud thud, replace them.
'shock absorbers should be replaced in pairs...' except when your insurance company is is paying for it after front end damage after hitting a monster city pot hole... SMH. Great video!
If you work on your own car and have ever replaced the shocks or struts you can see car ID or rock auto will will sell at least two different kinds When I do shocks and struts I always go with twin tube either Gabriel or KYB’s Name brand only I’ve tried off brand and TRQ and have not nothing but issues
Basically i think he was saying we all have crappy suspensions n unless we are willing to drive off of a cliff for a momentary cloud like experience, u will always have a sacrificed junk ride.
Installing modern bilstein monotubes with fresh coils on a 25 year old 4runner will make it ride better than it did when it was new. Everyone says the engine is the most important part of a vehicle, the first thing i mess with is the suspension.
Watching this video and listening to your amazing explanation, I can’t help but wonder if you were an automotive repair teacher at some point. Excellent video thanks for sharing!

I can guarantee you that about 2% of your average drivers actually replace their shocks every 50K miles!

I haven’t replaced my shocks on my car yet, and I’ve had it for over 10 years!😳
@@eleanormassaro5195 Yep. My 2011 Tacoma has carried one ton (2,000) of material many times and shocks are still working....as far as I know. =)

Yes, but Bilsteins are the way to go.
I had very good performance from my KYB on a previous suv also. Good shocks.
