Nice job ray
Oh I thought it was a 2022 its a 2012
Good Alignment job Ray and nice showing how far out it eas after install @Rainman Ray's Repairs
i always count the number of tools that i used, so i can measure how involve the job was! Lol
Hey Ray, sorry for taking so long to comment but thanks again for all of your hard work. Hopefully this job was way easier than the timing chain an phaser replacement. I really appreciate you keeping my Expedition running.
14:46 thank you
It's practically a brand new car.

isn't 2 degrees of camber at the rear way out of spec? looks like it's taken some suspensiondamage if it's unadjustable?
Lmfao. Choking duck. Meh meh meh. Lol it's a ford, that P/S noise will never go away fully. 🤣
Morphed project on 04 Ram 1500 2 wd quadcab, 76k miles. Shorty headers, 2 inch lift spacers, Rancho 9000 shocks for Ram 2500. On 4th set of new tires wearing mad on outer edge, which I expected after new front end. Tech called me over and wiggled upper control arms and said "I can losen and tighten these all day long and it will never align". Ordered camber and castor adjustment kit, 4 pieces, 2 for each leg of upper control arms, did another job while waiting. All the other techs gathered around wide eyed to see what he was doing. Don't know how it works, exactly, cam holds the setting in place until the control arm bolts are torqued. Took 4 hours, just charged for the kit, like $120. He had experience with Gen 3 Rams. We bonded and were chatting afterwords. The rack was cool, like could jack the frame seperately.
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
WOW incredible very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
I've always wondered what got adjusted during an alignment. It was like it was some kind of closely guarded industry secret or something. So happy you showed us what it takes to get it done!
LOL sounds like your in Bollywood.
Yes! Music was awful
5.4 3 valve is a doomed junk motor like the 4.0 SOHC by Ford also. Plastic timing chain guides are its weakness.
Are you the owner of this workshop Ray?
Also the new alignment rack is way wider which makes it way more difficult to get good leverage on jam nuts
I recently changed shops I’m at a dealership I still got some learning on the alignment rack we had a John beam at my last shop I was used to now the new one is a hunter and has two arms that clip onto the tire and it’s a little different then what I’m used to and have only had to do one alignment
@1:48 I laughed…. Random comedy, love it.
Shame there isn’t many mechanics that takes as much care as you to in the uk!
The details on the alignment were really cool. Never understood what excatly or how it was done. Thanks!
Nice 3 part-er……..
I’m just amazed
My daily Ray of sunshine. 🙂
A couple good burnouts will clean up those rear tires.
This is very interesting I haven't seen those eccentric bolts actually adjusted before. You're videos are informative even for car obsessed nerds like me! Lol ðŸ˜
Some nice techno music in the background!! ðŸ™â¤ï¸ðŸ’ª
🔧🚗🇺🇸ðŸ‘💪 I like to count the turns on the tie rods count off count on get you in the ball park
Hey Ray, do you have a forum or discord for repair questions?
I understand how a wheel alignent works in a basic level (I am not a mechanic just an itnerted obsvuver). Do yu need to consider the tyre condition an/or the tyre pressers fo the alimment to be corrected prperly?….Keep up the good work with these videos, they both entertaing and educational, and some I look forward to watching. i.e. I like your sense of humour
Get the shop owner to invest in a steering wheel leveler tool instead of eyeballing.
Do you grease the new tie rods or are they pre-greased?
I like the old way with the lazer and mirrors better
So, the Reee noise is contagious.
If the customers vehicle makes it, then the customer makes it then the boss makes it and on and on…
Thank you so much for these videos!!!! I would let you work on my vehicle ANY DAY!!!
A liitle less bullshit when your talking. Specially the start of this one.
so does anyone know what that annoying song is called?
