18. I will never do it myself but I am religiously watching the video 🤔🤔 😂😂

19. Chris, your videos are so legit.

    You explain everything so clearly. You often explain how and why. You give complete concepts.

    You're a great teacher and I hope you are very blessed. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

20. What was the size socket you use on the balljoint kit to push the balljoint out? And is it the same size socket for the nut on the lower ball joint?

21. Hey Chris, with all the different kinds of grease tubes available, what grease should a guy actually use to grease ball joints as well as any other chassis component? Thanks for your wealth of knowledge and great presentation!

22. What happen if we don't change the ball joint?

29. Thank you for posting your videos. My 2003 Honda Accord shakes like crazy whenever it is in Drive but sitting still. I just replaced all the motor and transmission mounts. It never shakes when in Park, but only when the car is in Drive and I am completely stopped… What do you think the issue is?

30. Oh shoot you're supposed to leave the blue plastic on mevotech parts?? I took it off for my ball joints cause I thought it was just protection for shipping :0

31. I apologize if this was mentioned in an earlier comment. This is a 4×4 Trailblazer, etc. and there will be no axle nut at all on the 2 wheel drive version, No need to buy the huge socket for those. Had to return one when I replaced my wheel bearing and hub assembly as all the videos showed the 4×4. 😀

32. Good job Cris new suscriber

33. Why don’t y’all use ospho on rust , we use it our vehicles we run on the beach in Galveston island,

39. Amazing porfomis 👍

40. Bien

41. i remember the 500 bucks trailblazer 2005

42. Hi, Chris, my 2005 Honda Accord upper ball joint need to be replaced. In your other video, you said the upper ball joint cannot be replaced. The whole control arm need to be replaced. So in my case, can i just change the upper ball joint or the upper control arm?

43. Tightening or loosing big nuts, like axle nuts,
    needs high torque. Do that by pushing (not pulling) the torque bar, otherwise you might hurt your back bone.

44. Hey Chris;
    I’m a fairly new fan.
    I’m glad you’ve done some video working on a trailBlazer as I have an 02 myself.
    Has a few too many problems and it’s great to see how easy some are to fix.
    Ball joints are one of them.
    What about CV joints? My boot on the inner one on the passenger side is ripped. Want to get that taken care of. Also needs to have the key locking mechanism reattached. Only has one key entry. I’d like to see any videos on that and also sun roof diagnostics and repair, and, and,… lol.
    Thanks cuz your videos help boost confidence.

45. Thank you Chris for the tip I have the same trailerblazer and help s

46. I miss depressed chris. much more relatable. dude a millionaire now he living his best life.

47. Did he break down somewhere because that’s what it seems like haha

48. 627 don`t like it.. Why ?? Such a straight forward training video, gives me confidence to do my own repairs. Thx for sharing your knowledge Chris
