concert coming near you, Kool Keith brings the fried chicken, Eclipse pass

sanitizer, lol!
I agree by far its my most used harbor fright tool i own i purchased the
1/2 drive first knowing how much i like my snap-on similar style longer
handle this one seemed a perfect length i liked it so much i went back and
got the 1/4 and 3/8 drive i striped out the 1/4 drive internals after hrs
of hard use, cant let that knock it i have done the same with high end
tools as well, i need to exchange it, every time i go for a 1/4 ratchet i
get disappointed and realize how much i like that style
Wow I never knew about that having it tightened only when the car is at
ride height. Mine were semi shot when I purchased the car used in 99 but
now I know when I finally do get around to replacing them what to do. Only
downfall is my car has Air suspension setup so its a bit more tricky to
just crawl under the car like that but I'll figure something out when the
time comes. Great videos though man, From one DSM owner to another keep up
the great work.
When I did this job, on a Dodge Avenger, I made this mistake. Also I
replaced both of the lower control arms to try to fix a problem with the
vehicle jolting in random directions while driving. It didn't fix the
problem. The front susp was tight then and I was confused. I was in my shop
a few weeks later and I kicked one of the rear tires and it turned. A
control arm on the back had caught something and popped out of the bushing.
Good Video!
Thank you so much for making this video! I just did this on both sides of
my Eclipse with your video playing in the background. Only difference is, I
had to disconnect the ends of the sway bar because I could not manipulate
the shock fork as easy as you. Great tip on torquing the bolts only when
the spindle is in stock configuration. I put a jack under the ball joint
when torquing everything to spec.
Yup. I have the ratchet in 3/8 inch. It's the best ratchet I have, and I
dare say it's the best ratchet Harbor freight sells. They have improved
their ratchets a lot recently. The first time I saw this swivel head type
was an SK a few decades ago. I don't know if they first made it and their
patent expired so others can make it, but it's the one to get IMO.
Great vid. Most people think the bushings pivot around the bolt instead of
flexing like you showed. It's hard to believe, but the rubber is bonded to
the inner and outer pieces and the movement is just from the rubber
flexing. It's a wonder the rubber doesn't rip from the metal and fail a lot
sooner than it does.
Should always tighten the bolts at rest position but most Technicians
don't.I always tighten at rest position though.Audis' are very specific
about doing this.This don't matter on bushings that can move like the other
control arm that was next to the one replaced in this video.
Great video Dear Robinson. Cong. on winning tools competition on
Brainsmobile. I was one of your competitor on that. You was really
deserving that winning. I am subscribing your channel, you may subscribe my
channel to share automotive knowledge. Regards, Jahanzeb.
I have a 95 eclipse. a few years ago my control arms were worn out. I found
out that there was a recall on the lower control arms. I brought it to
Mitsubishi and had two brand new ones installed for nothing.
GREAT VID! Helps me a lot! Im going to be changing both my lower control
arms this weekend and I was desperate to learn how to do it myself rather
than paying over 100 buks for a shop to do it. Thank you!
Robinsonsauto-- Thank you so much for making this Eclipse Control Arm
video. I had so many problems with my 1997 eclipse, now after watching your
video I will fix the problem for good.
Would it also work to jack under the LCA until it's at ride height and then
tighten the bolts? Because sometimes you can't reach those bolts with the
tire on the ground.
Cant recall the style bushings used on that model However, this will apply
to any suspension component that uses molded bushing like i demonstrated,
hope that helps
Your welcome, that's a Pittsburgh-pro 1/2 drive love the style its similar
to my snap-on ratchet i use often, been putting this one to the test,
holding up well
Sagittarius Sun / Virgo Asc...Saturn in Scorpio in my natal chart...a lot
of mixed energies right now...definitely feel at a cross roads / turning
point...look forward to the "launching pad" at the Aries Full moon...thank
you!
+Annette Klein So if I'm Capricorn..Leo Rising..North node Gemini 11th house..South Node Sagittarius..does that mean I have to look up horoscope for all 4 signs to see where I rise, fly and fall off the cliff? lol I feel like a Libra..maybe if i only watch the Libra horoscope I will be balanced lol :))
Hi Annette , reminds me of how i read a book ,,,,,, out loud , in character , with actions , my brother is seriously worried about me ........ps , Thankyou
