    "Where do you test the suspension?" "The city built a test track in front of my house"

    Thanks for showing how much play it had in it and the sounds. This video was super helpful! I changed out the end links today and I'll pick up some bushings tomorrow morning.
  • I appreciated your good explanation about replacing the two bushings on the Cadillac. I have a Cadillac 2011 DTS with worn out bushings. You have been demonstrating a very logical step by step procedure. At the end you double check your work and make sure it is completely done correctly. Excellent video of the work done with some good comments which made me smile listening to you. 😎
  • @mikeymike9616
    Great video. Precise instructions, perfectly clear voice, just right pace. Great video length, not too long. Thank you. I just Subscribed!
  • @surunner455
    Thanks for this. I have a clunk and a squeak. Going to replace my end links first, as I think that is the culprit. Then the bushings are next in line
  • @johnmilner7603
    I remember I had to swap 1 stabilizer bushing in my 87 Grand Nat’l and had to use my floor jack to install it cause I couldn’t compress it enough to get the bolts started. Nice having a lift too. She’s tight now.
  • Great mechanic. Thanks for the knowledge and laughs. God bless 🙏

    You're a great teacher. You're the guy everybody wants working in their shop teaching the other guys! Happy holidays cheers!

    I've been dealing with that exact clunking noise in my 08 cobalt for little over a year now. I've replaced a little more than half the front suspension, but the noise always made an appearance shortly after. (Definitely not complaining though because that car needed a lot of love since the day I bought it) I finally got frustrated with it and started looking at every little thing I haven't replaced yet and low and behold it has been the sway bar bushing this whole time!
  • @user-mi4fj9rq7v
    Just replaced the sway bar bushings on a 2008 Honda Ridgeline, finally the clunking sound is gone, and much tighter steering. Thank you! Who could have imagined that $14 could make such a significant change to the front end.
  • @TrinityInMe_3
    thank you for the sound test drive. Been having that on my hhr after changing everything else
  • @bernie3075
    That's the soothing driving sound you hear in movies lol.
