This is the second video I have watched by her. I am impressed. She speaks slowly, clearly, and accurately, and explains the theory and physics behind her repairs. She also has good manners and is sociable which I cannot overemphasize enough. So many of the people who do car repair videos cuss at me and mouth off like street thugs while they are supposedly showing me how to fix a car. This woman is a breath of fresh air.
Yes there's nothing I love more than getting under my truck to service it. For how long it takes it will save a ton of frustration in the future. Great video.
Until u strip a nut or a bolt and it’s off to the mechanics to get it off 🤣🤣 god damn I was replacing my tie rod ends today and my passenger side one was fairly easy until I got to my driver side the Nut that holds the tie rod onto the the steering arm was siezed on there and I tried for an hour until I stripped it no wd40 no PB blaster couldn’t do it … now it’s stuck and stripped .. not looking good so I have to go to the mechanics for them to do it sadly. I couldn’t get it off… gotta get an alignment as well.. aside from that you do save a lot of money Doing ur own mainetnce. I’ve done all the mainetnce on my truck.. it feels good lol
1998 Toyota Camry had the very same noise. Turned out to be strut atop squeaking. Lubed it and quiet as a mouse now! Thank you and your company for ALL your information on car repairs! Has saved me many times!
Just purchased front end kit from your store: upper,lower ball joints, and tie rod ends for my Lexus GS 300. All the great videos on how to fix things has really helped me through the years. I bought them all at a great price they are scheduled to arrive Friday the 15. Hopeful they get here that quick. Thank you for all you do for us out here!
Great Video. Thnx. At the 5 min mark you took the words right out of my mouth.!!! I took my sons car for an oil change (LOF) to Midas in Orangeville, Ontario, trying to support a local business, & they did Not grease the car. The car is older, but new to us. I went back to inform them that they had missed it, & they blamed me for not telling them. I didn't even want any resolve, it was more an "FYI" for them to tell their lube tech. Needless to say they lost a customer that day.
You hit it right on the ball..joint that is..I recently did my own front end full suspension and had no idea about the greasing. A few days later I hear this exact sound and realized I never put any grease so I added some..the sound is back a month later and I'm wondering if I destroyed the joint as the damage was already done.
Good gravy that was a brilliant explanation and demo. Thank you for that and PLEASE continue to produce this quality of videos. The internet needs you!! lol
Started hearing that noise when I was at full lock turning to back into my drive... Now I know it's one of those two for sure. Being the original suspension components, I'll put money on both.
Your exposition is very clear. Congratulations from Guayaquil, Ecuador Question: When I turn the steering wheel of my 2012 Chevy Tahoe, the steering sounds like a zipper. what could be the damage?
Thank you! I've been taking my car in to every place I can find about the noise in my front end, every time they lift the car and show me, look lady nothing is loose. They've replaced my ball joints, bushings, stabilize bar, struts twice and even my motor mounts. The noise is still there and getting worse. Finally I have information to take with me. The amount of money I'm out so far trying to fix it, hoping this is the last time. Thank you again.
Nice vid. I noticed the same exact noise yesterday morning and checked to see my mechanic didn’t replace my drivers side tie rod end when front end work was done 😅
Impressive I love working on my car but I'm not as good as you. Thank you for this video my Honda 2013 is making this exact noise and all 3 men mechanics that have supposadly checked it have been all over the place with what could be the problem go figure lol Young Lady You Rock!
Thanks for the video. My car had been making a very similar noise for several months now. I took it to a mechanic for a service and asked them to check the noise. They told me they couldnt find anything wrong !?? Its still making the noise. I am going to try another mechanic and show them this video !
change as soon as possible because if that ball joint fails and breaks out of the socket. Somehow you'll have no control and your wheel would be completely loose from the steering... also, putting it off of damage other parts on my car like tires , but yeah, your upper control arms can suffer even more so if you don't replace them in time.. at least on my car
Man, if I had a lift I'd do everything myself. But It can be hard doing suspension work on your own driveway without professional tools.... I've done it before but boy does it take all day for a simple fix.
Thank you so much for this! Excellent video and explanation! 😅I was wondering what the noise that just started yesterday on my charger . Now I know. You’re a life saver!
excellent video! differently that the endless "alike" videos on utube (many doesn't even has a sample of the noise that gets talked about), your walk through is great! thanks
Awesome video, great explanations, great detail I have been fighting front end steering and suspension issues for a year this is the best most helpful video I have found. Thank you

I had a Honda Accord which I just installed new rear springs and ended up with a creaking noise on the driver rear area. It turned out I had over tightened a few bolts back which caused the creak. I bought a new torque wrench and tightened all things back there to spec and no more noise.
I have the exact noise when turning my steering wheel ever so slightly , and I was told it was the struts . So Monday they are changing both front struts ..
She’s really pretty good. Hard to say why, but I listened better and she pre-empted questions that raised themselves during the job. Yes, fair to say if the part is NEW and stiff, that’s good. If it’s old and stiff, then it’s freezing/rust/dryzabone. Now, there’s a couple of points about these sort of jobs. If you are using a hammer, this mechanic did it all right, you whack the side of the part the balljoint goes into, first. It ‘cracks’ the gluing effect that rust has. If you have to hammer the balljoint out, then apart from anything else, pre-lube a day or week before, use a small wooden baton atop the part-screwed-on nut you;ve positioned, get someone else to hold a scissor jack under the thing (hub) at the point where you are hammering. Use a big hammer. Decent lump hammer minimum. The idea is, not to tap-tap the metal of the nut, which is liable to deform with that force, yet NOT actually enough to split the balljoint apart. A fewer, larger bashes with a bigger hammer and an intermediate wooden batten, or even a steel chisel/bar, supplies the force but without the distortion of the nut etc being as bad. Just got myself an impact driver, specifically for those jobs where trying to stop the balljoint turning is an awkward thing without three arms. Impact driving allows the luxury of the part undoing before the balljoint or whatever, spins it seems. Great vid, just a very personable mechanic, easy to watch and listen, it’s a relaxed delivery. Good work!
Thanks. I wish I saw this video before I went out and bought a freaking left cv joint thinking "Well it it worked for the passenger side, then it's going to work for the driver side. And I bought it based on that smh. There was nothing wrong with my old cv left cv joint. My disappointment when I struggled to get out the left side only to see it in good condition 😟😕
I would love a playlist on one particuliar car showing everything you guys know. If anyone has such a thing please reply with link or words. Thanks And this is such a great video.
I was supposed to leave on a road trip tomorrow from Pa to Tx, went to fill up with gas tonight and heard this noise coming from my mini cooper. Guess I won’t be leaving tomorrow 🥺
I know there are some "good" quality ball joints where you can grease them. But I'm still stuck on OEM for my Tacoma. I know it's more expensive, but comparatively it's 2x as much, but I just don't trust the quality control of off brand products. But I'm wondering there is a product out there that will help keep the elasticity of the rubber covering the joint. I'm wondering if this will keep them safe longer?
I have a squealing sound that's happening while my wheels are turning. It sounds like the warning squeal brake pads give, but it happens whether I'm driving straight, whether I'm turning. and I know I don't have sticking calipers because they're at a perfectly normal temperature even after a hard brake. 2016 toyota Camry LE.
I am.getting the same/similiar noise ever sice I i stalled new tie rod ends that I bought from your company. It never mad this noise before. My brother checked ball joints and they are good and tight.
I hate to say it but I'm going through the same thing with my 2nd pair of tie rod ends from 1a. I appreciate their video but I want more so appreciate good lasting parts..
I think this is similar to what happening to my car but its creakes more when im slowing down. Feels like the dealership is trying to just get money out of me. It's hard to tell if they know what the problem is or not. Its like oh you need to replace this, but that's not fixing the sound. The sound means something is wrong I need that fixed not guessing and just replacing parts. On the other hand I feel like they know but they don't want to fix it and just giving me the run around.
I just got a new boot done and that creaking was there as i thought it would have been fixed so im assuming its one of the 2 things you found wrong?? Would adding grease fix this or how would i go about fixing this??
You should be okay for the moment, on a worry level of scale of one to ten, it’s about a 4. I wouldn’t ignore it and forget about it, but nothing insane will happen unless it’s completely broken apart or falling off😂the noise can be extreeeemely irritating but nothing louder music won’t fix for the moment. It’ll could cause a bad alignment therefore it would eat up your tires making it an even more expensive repair than it was already buuuut you should be okay for the moment my friend!
Unfortunately, my 2008 dodge ram doesnt hace any greasable fitting, until now. Those tie rod ends I bought from 1A Auto, the company in this video, were junk. They creaked the whole time. Never had creaking until I put them on there over a year ago. Never again.
Great vid thx. I got something similar but it only does when weight on wheels. If wheels are on gravel or taken off when turning it doesnt make the noise. Only happens with wheels on floorn in hot weather. Not sure what to do.

Thank you! I have been wondering what this noise is, and didn't feel like the shop was giving me the right explanation.
My 2016 Honda making this noise I thought it was the axle when moving left to right. 😂thanks for clarifying great video

I fixed mine by buying a needle for a grease gun and injecting grease into the boot,then sealing the boot with permatex ultra black silicone.
Patrick where in/on the boot to you insert this needle? Or do you just pierce the boot ?
Where did you find the needle?
Perfect! I did all the general checks and no torn boots etc. Thanks for putting this out there, very helpful to pin point it!

Thank you for posting this and giving me peace of mind
Thank you for the video. Do the tires have to be hard to turn by hand on all wheel drive cars as you showed on the beginning of this video?
Install a grease fitting on both tie rod ends..
Subscribed in a heart beat! You’re great!
It would be great if you showed how to grease those joints
😊
Can tie rod ends be serviced? New boot and grease before they get bad? Grease should not be leaking out. I don’t know any oem that uses zerk fittings.
I know there are some "good" quality ball joints where you can grease them. But I'm still stuck on OEM for my Tacoma. I know it's more expensive, but comparatively it's 2x as much, but I just don't trust the quality control of off brand products.
But I'm wondering there is a product out there that will help keep the elasticity of the rubber covering the joint. I'm wondering if this will keep them safe longer?
So frozen ball joints cause the noise and the tie rods cause the stiffness?
I asked a toyota mechanic friend what "lube chassis" means on my invoices, and he burst out laughing.
"No-one ever lubes anything" he responded.
And they charge u $250.
I lube women chassis
@@LibsareTRASH me 3 😮😅😊
That's why it's been made cheaper to buy a whole new part, rather than pay them to replace bushings.
Just got my tie rods front and back replace now everything grinds
Very good Mechanic to 100%. in Practice and Theory from Montreal, Canada
she is amazing! i wish she was my mechanic.
Replacing any one of these parts will I need a front wheel alignment?
