This car was definitely from up north

I had problems so I found YOUR video and a couple stellar tips helped immensely. Thanks!!

[@nathandykstra6097]

Man, your videos have helped me so much over the last year…!!! I rebuilt a lot of parts on my impala, and you have been a lifesaver! Thanks a lot! Greatly appreciated!

[@christopherhaag8868]

Thanks for this informative video. I did notice a common torque mistake on the wheel lug nuts. Torque is measured as the nut is tightened (running torque). The torque wrenched beeped right away indicating that the lug nut torque was greater than 100 ft lbs. Over torquing lug nuts can damage the wheel/lugs or make it impossible to change the tire out on the road without an impact wrench.

I appreciate your content and specific torque requirements!

Perfectly showed thank you

I love that it’s on a rusty car. I don’t think repair videos count if the car is brand new or super clean from down south. You’re missing the broken bolts, bloody knuckles and rust in the eyes!

[@DanielGarcia-uw1iv]

great videos helps a lot while I work on mine

[@maroramastorres4041]

So you don’t have to put the weight of vehicle back down before tightening strut bolts in the trunk? Good to know

[@richardwinkler2523]

Thank you for doing this video.

[@damonalexander8502]

I have a 2011 impala and Idk how he is able to get the ratchet on for the bottom strut bolt. There are some sensors in the way and I have no good angles. Any advice?

[@ezwa9979]

Qlll😯, at 3:34 in noticed on strut U were about to remove, the top circle was tilted, then on new one circle was flush.. I was 1dring if I’d have to take out strut(at least partially maybe totally), but now it looks like MAYBE they just make some of these struts with tiled top flat circle gizmos✋

[@ezwa9979]

makes 1 1dr thO, hUs the engineer that choose to tilt top circle?🤔, btw, I’ve noticed no one(very few people) say what year impala they’re working on, & I’ve heard there ARE differances. for example top bolts & sway bar link torques specs agreed with my 12-13 model, but fat lower boots on mine should be 120(not 89).

[@stanleywollman8276]

Thank you

[@989MiFi]

Yea I never use torque wrench lol 👌🏽👌🏽

[@Chayliss]

What if no hammer drill

[@TbENT]

Why do you cut the video @7:50 that crucial information

[@FATMAC_365]

My sway bar end link doesn’t have a bolt on the other side and the nut is just spinning
Someone please help 😂

Tell me you live in the rust belt without telling me you live in the rust belt
