Chris you are the greatest please help. Is this man's job? Help
I need help. I don't have the business card on me right now. I bought four new tires I can't remember if he said left front tie rod is that what your talking about changing just the little rubber boot? I live alone so I try to do things myself but my knees are bad. Do you think this is something I could do. I think he's trying to repair all of it 563.00 I dont have that after having to buy 4 new tires. He said it's a little loose and there's no danger in driving it. What's your thoughts please Chris. Don't let me loose you I've subscribed.
That brake rotor looking scary !!
I can move my wheel when it’s lifted. It doesn’t click per S.E. but I can turn the wheel as it would turn with the steering wheel slightly by hand. Inner tie rod?
Technician here, confirming that this guy is an idiot. Only in and out play matters. If your mech says otherwise, you’re getting swindled.
What if the play is coming from the steering rack?
What would cause a loose steering and extra play after replacing inner and outer tie rods as well as the ball joints .It feels like everytime I drive it it gets looser and looser. I took it back three different times to have them look at it and they kept saying it was okay and they realigned it two different times so I thought maybe you could just help out with some helpful information
I noticed I have a lot of noise such as clucking and grinding in my rear when the car is moving, could it be the tie rod? What might you think it be Chris? Thanks!
FYI, I'm not a mech but I'm interested and want to learn.
A question; is tie rod attached to steering rack?
Hey Chris my 01 civic has the right passenger wheel wobbling and shaking at 30 mph for some reason just that one side and I inspected it and the stabilizer link was in bad shape and boot was all ripped up I fixed it and same problem I checked the tires and even replaced them with new tires nothing still the same and the wheel doesn’t have no play at at
Cool video. What is, "rent the tool for free"? And where can I go to get this amazing deal?
Thanks @chrisfix, even though this video is 9y.o it answered my question. I have n 08 Jeep Compass with many electrical issues, light on dash like n Xmas tree 🎄 that's driving me nuts not knowing how 2 fix it n 2 top it off, 2 days ago I heard a bad clunking noise left fron tire n it looked like I have play n I can move the outer tie road very easy. I saw your video n now I know what 2 do… Thanks again boss!
What causes my steering to shake while driving on gravel road or small pot holes?
Can I use a zip tie for my inner tie rod boot?
Dude you've helped me out and saved me so much damn money thank you sincerely
