Learn how to replace the ENTIRE front suspension of your car in this two episode series. Here I will show you how to install a brand new wheel bearing, ball joints, control arms, tie rod, strut, and axle.
The ball joint and wheel bearing has to be pressed into the knuckle and I have a bunch of tips and tricks to make that easy. I show how to properly install a tie rod (safely) and get an accurate measurement so you can get the car aligned. I also show you how to properly torque down bolts with bushings so you don’t tear them. The rest of the suspension parts are pretty simple to install and then we go for a ride to see how much better the car handles!

Re-watching this 2 years later. 5:34 — those bearings clearly have different inner diameters. :O
Chris, awesome presentation! What was the cost of the whole change out? You showed only one side as the other side is the same process. What was the actual process time per side?
Great job really enjoyed the tutorial .definitely detailed!
just imagine if he doesn't talk while he does the job and he's just waving his hands around.
Hey Chris you can build those water covers for the brakes, with fiber glass! I did it once.
I wish you were in California. Would love to have you coaching in person while fixing things on my car.
From watching this two part episode, I rebuilt the suspension on my 2002 Ford Ranger. Thank you Chrisfix. Very informative!
My car suspension is in a good shape im just here to enjoy Chris's video and voice lol
why have i watched this video three times
Me after finishing both videos: ah yes suspension is just undoing a bunch of bolts and then putting them back on.
Thinking about actually trying it: 😳🥴😂💀
This video was bought you by….
medium thread lock – hey, you never know.
An idea for a video
How to clean seat belts
Have an idea for a video. Cleaning the seat belts in a vehicle
In total. How much did all of the parts cost??
Ngl, this makes me wanna do the suspension on my 07 Ibiza now. I took a pothole at 130kp/h in january and its still the factory side suspension. Had to replace both springs bc one snapped two days after the pothole and i to think my shock absorbers are almost gone. Car doesnt feel as snappy anymore as when we got it in august.
Any tips for a sport suspension kit, maybe with 30mm lowering on both axles? Price is a issue, dont wanna spend 1000 bucks for a car suspension when the car is like 1500 bucks nowadays lol
The new wheels are amazing
how much paint or how many coats rather would you recommend? maybe you have a painting video?
Thread locker is the opposite of thread anti seize.
So, does the turbo kit fits?
heavy and light thread locker: am I joke to you?
Can u teach us how to paint our car?
I didn't even need to to this, I just enjoy the videos!
This dude reminds of Mr. Wilson from home improvement hiding his face on every single camera shot.
