Guys, check out my latest video
th-cam.com/video/UG54xt56uZo/w-d-xo.html
I could not find your other video on how to replace shocks and struts :(
Thank you!!!
Instantly subscribed! Truly quality work on this video mate. Visual aid Camry was awesome!
Nice vid man! i have a truck and everytime i go over a bump it makes a really weird sound like 2 metals hitting each other, like something is lose, but i had a friend jump on the back while i laid under, and the sound seems to be coming from the rear shock. so is it posible for it to be sounding like 2 lose parts smacking each other? also theres a very small leak on it.
looks like in Perth😂
We really have to appreciate the effort that goes into these videos.. he literally took a fender off just so we can see the spring operating!
that's impressive.....i've subscribe just because of that!
This guy has not posted any video for 2 years. Hope he is fine
He took off the muffler pan also! to show the difference between rear shocks on and off the car
Omg. Is there a figurative way?
no doubt that the time and work he put into this is incredible.
By far the easiest and most informative car videos on TH-cam. Somebody get this guy a show!
I agree with Slick519. The amount of time it would have taken to produce this excellent clip would almost be a full time job.
Or a beer🤣😂👍
He needs a TV show. Those presentations were 💯
Dude, my sentiments exactly! I was watching the video like "damn, this guy has explained this better in the first three minutes than anything I've ever seen on the subject." Definitely needs his own show or TH-cam channel!
Very well done, straight to the point and accurate.
I just want to say, this was an extremely high quality lesson. I stumbled across this and wasn’t expecting to get such an in depth explanation. Thanks for making such a helpful and interesting video!
This must be THEEEE best video on this important subject matter pertaining to suspension
The length that he went though to provide not only information on the subject but all the visual examples is truly above and beyond!
Never seen anyone cutting open all the different type of shocks/struts/Air-shocks
Taking the videos, and editing was superb
Many thanks to you and this video!
When your parents wanted you to become a a medical doctor. And you decide to get a PhD in Automotive engineering
He is a god 😊
Lmfao
Lmao
@@beachhunter9497 stfu lmao
Being a general mechanic is in some ways just as challenging as being a medical doctor. When a patient complains of an ailment, the doctor doesn't have to wonder what kind of kidney this particular model has or where the pancreas is located.
WOW!! Are you a professor in automobile engineering!?? You have both the knowledge and passion in this field. Absolutely amazing!!
He explained this so people who aren’t mechanics can understand how cool
That awkward moment when your car has all FIVE signs.
Aaand i can't get new shocks thanks to cov19 lockdown.
C19 got us one way or another
Yeah I was just about to comment the same thing haha.
It was 6,also a toyota here.
Hence the reason why he showed you on this particular car
I know this is a older video but I got to be honest and say this is without a doubt one of the best made videos on You Tube with actual demonstrations shown. Thank you so much for the work you put into this video.
Great job explaining and ALSO great videography. Those camera angles are unique and very helpful. Thanks!
I believe some parts of his video taken from pretty old video where the guy cut fenders out of his Mercedes and showed how suspension works when driving through pot holes and bumps. It was some kind of experiment.

I love how specific and detailed you are in your knowledge of the topic. My kind of dude!
Must be about the best info video I have seen on TH-cam, 10/10 for content, production, continuity.
This is exactly what I needed. I knew something was up with my suspension, but your illustrations and examples were extremely helpful. Great video! I’ll be making an appointment for my vehicle right away.
This is the most comprehensive video about shocks and struts I've seen. Amazing work!
One of the best presentation I have ever seen! Well done!
You and Scotty Kilmer are the S-tier of auto repair TH-cam channels. Absolutely phenomenal videos through and through, thank you for the work you do!
This was a very informative video. Explained everything very simply. Look forward to more videos by this guy!
Thank you for explaining this and how the shock absorber functions under a vehicle. And the effect the broken shocks have on the brakes.
Could have not been professionally explained/detailed any better! Amazing job!
Shocks and Struts! Informative and to the point. Amazing energy too!
For the last 47 years I have been repairing cars and much more. Not as a backyard butcher but employed for my skills. I've been in awe of the power of You Tube for its ability to pass on repair techniques for just about anything but there are only a few people who really know what they are talking about and you are at the top of the list sir .I hate opening a video to find they know nothing at all just want to post something. The absolute best explanation coupled with cutaways. I just wanted to let you know this was great.
I love people who do things the right way like this guy!!!
Excellent video. Simple, objective, well edited and informative. The demos were just perfect. Especially the side by side. I see some cars on the road with horrible bounces, what a danger.
I learnt about shock struts in my aircraft engineering training and the class took one week. You've broken it down in seconds. You're amazing.
Never before have a seen a video this short, and with so much technical information crammed in that is so clear and easy to understand. Absolutely superb!
This is Television like production. The most informative and entertaining automotive channel out there
Very impressed with your explanations. I especially like way you demonstrated the safety issues.
this is definitely one of the best videos out there because of the detail description throughout every process!!! THANK YOU SIR!!!
What a great video! Love how you sliced open the dampers and showed what is inside. Also great to see the safety implications of worn out dampers.
Excellent explanation and visual understanding of how struts and shocks work on a car. Explained like an automotive engineer. Truly enjoyed the learning process that you provided here.
Sir, your videos are brilliant. As a mechanic, thank you for educating myself and everybody else who can't easily access this knowledge with such an in-depth video. You deserve more views and subs.
Wow!!! Not only did he explained what and how a shock and spring work but he also demonstrated it . Hats off to this man. Definitely subscribing 👏🏻
I like how you went a far as to remove the muffler to get a great shot of the suspension! Thank you for your time and effort you are doing a great job!
straight to the point, awesome demonstration, thanks for the video
Great info! Very informative! You answered a few questions I had about struts because I'm gonna be replacing all of mine real soon. But turns out its the actual shocks! Thanks pal! :)
Holy smokes! This guy is incredible
I've dealt with bump steer on my car for over two years. After changing ball joints, upper and lower control arms and bushings, my suspicion was struts but LITTLE did I find here on TH-cam or Google that matched my problems.
This was so in depth and informative that it narrowed it right down for me and confirmed my hunch. The best video about this on the internet, hands down. Thanks man! Subscribed!
Sir . This has to be the most detail video I've seen on TH-cam. Great job bro. I've subscribed after watched video
Damn, that was an EXCELLENT educational video! Very well made and thorough!!
One of the best car videos I've seen in my entire life. Good job man. Great info
This was amazing. I don’t know if I’ve ever had anything explained with such detail and including examples. I had to subscribe
thanks for the contribution.
This was the best car video ive ever seen in my life
thank you for showing people about struts shocks .trust this man on this he's got it right.
This is by far the best explanation I've seen about this
Very impressive informative video! Absolutely better than anything else I've seen on the subject. I think the big suspension component brands should have you do their videos.
this was incredibly informative. well done, sir.
I find a lot of YT videos on the how to repair or some drawn diagram of how things work but the camera mounted in action at the suspension was great. And your distinction between different types helped me actually learn. I dont say this about many ..I wish there were more like this. TY!
The most comprehensive video i've seen on the matter. Great work.
Excellent discussion, visual aids, and demonstrations. Also, your flow from one topic to the next was smooth and very well prepared. Thank you.
Fantastic video. Straight to the point without all the bs of telling a story about how your shocks went out one day. Most ppl on TH-cam would have turned this into a 40 min video with the first 25 mins having the camera pointed at their own face. Thank you for this. Subbed
This is by far the best video about shocks period!! Thanks
The level of detailed explanation and visual aids in this video is just mind-blasting. I had never seen such an informative video on TH-cam since...ever.
Your video is one of the best I've ever seen. This video is extremely informative and well made. I look forward to viewing more intelligent videos from you.
Video editing and quality is great, very informative and excellent explanation. I have no reason to check other videos regarding struts and shocks after seen this one! You are a superior “TH-cam automotive technician instructor” haha You are doing something OUTSTANDING! Keep it up brother. I am learning a lot from you!
One of the best instructional videos I have ever seen. Thank you for the great explanation. I have no idea how long it took you to put this all together. Hats off!
You have over come my doubts of good suspension and bad suspension in my mind. thank u
This is some of the best information I have ever seen on shocks and struts! Thanks, dude. Subscribed!!
I happy to know what to look for in a bad shocks, great video.
Thanks for producing such a clear video. I'll be taking mine in for inspection after you confirmed some symptoms in getting in my drive. I thought I was just being overly sensitive about the handling and ride, but now I'm pretty certain I have a suspension problem. 👍
This is the best detailed post on not only troubleshooting struts but knowing the mechanics of them as well. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for explaining and showing excellent examples. Great video.
thank you for this video, very deep and clear explanation, definitely sub, keep it up!
Excellent presentation. Great educational video
Thanks
Thank you very much, I have a 2008 toyota camry LE and you just answered all my questions and went into great detail of the many problems I'm having.
This video was so good. Thank you so much. I’ve always known about the bounce test but to actually see what’s inside the shock and to why and how was so informative.
Being informative and not boring is a rare skill, great video👍🏼
thanks man
Excellent Presentation & very creative & you get to the point quickly. And, yes, I did just suscribe. Thanks !
engine missfire or dead no. 4 cylinder
This is the best and most detailed explanation of the Struts/Shocks I have ever watched. Learned a lot and appreciate the time and effort.
This is one of the BEST A to Z about Shocks!~
Amazingly well covered~! Thanks a bunch!~
Wow excellent video with great footage and explanations. Thanks.
Wow this video was so pleasing to watch: information delivered simply, straight to the point, not too much talking, great camera angles.. just awesome! Definetly going to subscribe!
This is an amazing explanation video. Thank you so much for this, it’s top quality content!
Wow thank you for showing this. I'm not mechanic and always hear about suspension and struts. You explain very well.
I took out my shock absorbers on one car. And the springs on another...and taught my friends and family what's it's all about in the back field. Great fun
The best video so far. Seriously.
Excellent from all angles - a fine production .
Best explanation I've seen so far! Thank you.
This is the best video I have seen regarding Springs and Shocks. Brilliant. Well done.
The best video i never see this befor
Thank you my freind
Chrixfix and Diy junky are great TH-camr.
scotty kilmer yeah
DMYD Anes they should do a duo tbh
Soapy wooder
@@virtualdjkoy89 Scotty Kilmer not as detailed as this guy
Yeah
Supreme editing! Removing the side panel of your car to demonstrate strut movement while driving... wow!
Love the detail!! Thanks for doing what you do!
Excellent video presentation.
Wow.....the detail in this video is top notch. Please keep it up.
Wow, I really enjoyed your video! I understand the difference between shocks, struts, and springs now! Also I got to see how things work and how they look. And you explain important things! This is a very high quality video for any beginner wanting to understand suspension. Thank you very much!
Very well explained.
Your videos are incredible. You hsve much knowledge in the subject and explain it well. Thanks for taking the time to make them and I'm looking forward to more!
Question: what's your favourite tool? :)
Impact wrench i have to say, even though I’m not using much in my videos because most people don’t have them at home.
He is copying crisfix
His audio and visual editing is like Chris' videos, but they're still great and full of useful information.
@@larsbroersen8664 What exactly is he copying? The talent to explain well? Or good understanding of how to place cameras under correct viewing angles? Or perhaps the skill to edit his recordings and speech in a comprehensive flow, keeping things short and concise and to the point? What part of COPYING cHrisfix makes this production EASIER in any way?
@@_m.a-x theyre just hating idiots
This video is insanely well made!
Found this a very helpful content. Kudos!
I went to college for automotive and this is the first time I've ever seen a single video on TH-cam explain absolutely everything with perfect detail so..... I'm speechless
If there was an award given out for Best automotive helping video on TH-cam this person right here deserves it.
You got a new subscriber
Informative!
"Hate" energy! My new favorite TH-camr! The visuals are just amazing so I can understand what I am being told. Thank you, sir! This is a great automotive channel. Sub'd Liked
thanks 👍👍👍
That is a very comprehensive explanation. Thank you very much.
thank you so much for you're time and you're video 🙏
Best vid and explanation I've seen
Can you do a video on how to fix spongy brakes that gets pushed to the ground
Good idea for a video, i wanted to do a video covering all the brake issues, and the causes and including how the brake system work.
Bleed the fronts and rears. If the rear drum shoes push pins are out of the boots the brake cylinder will go past its seal and leak fluid/suck air. So bleed them and check the rear drum cylinder for missing parts. cause the springs will pull the drum shoe onto the cylinder so they will kind of work. But it will habitually let air in even if you bled them aa million times. Check the rears. 7 ton jaw puller to get old ones off rented of autozone.
brilliant camera work! Thanks
Amazing video by far one of the best on TH-cam thanks
nice work and great to see some wa down to earth vid not rabbiting on about irrelevant rubbish
Your cinematography and editing are really great, especially the pan from the sky to the suspension parts. This was not only educational but interesting to watch, awesome!!!! Shit, I need to replace my shocks.
This is such a perfectly made video. I wouldn’t have made it any different. Thank you for it, Mister.
Excellent information!
