These often-overlooked components work behind the scenes to maintain tire contact with the road, giving the driver control over braking, steering, and cornering. When shocks and struts wear out, the effects are subtle at first-slightly longer stopping distances, more pronou...

will it fix noise issue?
It's a short term quick fix, but it doesn't fix the shuddering issue.
I just bought a 2011 Genesis sedan from my father with the 6spd Aisin automatic (Toyota). Found out at 148k miles the transmission fluid has never been changed. Is it too late to do drain and fills, or should I leave it alone?
This works
No need to disconnect the tie rod. Also remove the 2 bolts to the side of the ball joint. Not the actual ball joint nut itself. Also loosen the lower control arm bolts just enough to move the arm a couple inches down, instead of letting it drop all the way. The alignment angles won't change as long as the arm is only dropped a little bit
I had this added to my LR4 about 5 months ago,shutter is now back. At 150k mikes, should i replace Torque Conv and clutch or go another round of this. I'd like to fix the prob if doing this repeatedly is going to cause irreparable damage.
Worked on my suv instantly
This stuff is the biggest smoke & mirrors going. It does NOT work. Do not waste your money.
Can i in my 2021 honda crv AWD?
Can 2 tube of lubegard shudder fix b used at one time in 2009 mazda cx9
Did not help my transmission.
Great interview. Hope to see you soon.
To be clear. DOT 3 and DOT 4 are interchangeable up 1 number. So if you use DOT 3, you can install DOT 4. If you have a DOT 4 LV, stick to the LV if you live in temperatures below freezing but DOT 4 can be used in a pinch in place of LV above freezing. DOT 5 is NOT compatible with anything. Do not mix with anything. It will damage your brake system. Lastly, you have DOT 5.1, this fluid is compatible again with DOT 3 and 4 systems providing you go up in numbers. In other words. Do NOT install DOT 3 brake fluid in a system that takes DOT 4 or 5.1 as higher numbers are higher boiling points.
Worked on my 2015 silverado with 155k miles
So I'm replacing a compressor and condenser, and flushing the whole system. The new Compressor comes pre filled with oe specified oil. Will AllData tell me how much oil is supposed to be in the Compressor and how much oil is supposed to be in the refrigerant? If I'm filling the Compressor with oil does the refrigerant need to come pre mixed with oil? I'm lost in the sauce.
Is it recommended for camry 3.5 2011 xle?
I used on my 17 Camry worked for 1 month and a half then shutter came back
I tried it, didnt work. No improvement. Just something to get your money.
What was the tool that he use in the tire?
where to buy, please send me e link
Worked on my RLX 14 instantly.
what's can i use to CVT transmission?
Does it work on diesel Silverados 2020
it may be a temporary fix but not the manufacturer recommended solution
I just bought my ASE C1 test. I need to study though!
Can it be used on a 2010 Buick lacrosse cxs?
How many do I use
How to use on 2022 Traverse?
Dude be dropping everything lol
Commercial made one big mistake. There is another point of entry to apply lube guard, on the side of transmission fill port, when there is no dip stick!
This worked INSTANTLY on my wife's 2009 CR-V with 209,000 miles
It's a quick short term solution. And NOT a permanent fix. Fluid might be low if you already changed the fluid.
Yes you want to mess with the alignment by loosening the lower control arms just to replace struts… Idiots
Thank you so much all! Taking this test tomorrow :). I loved what you talked about and as a shop owner, I will implement this much more now
Do I need to add the synthetic atf protectant after adding the shudder fix 2 oz?
Worked on 07 4runner
It works for me in my 2003 Cadillac Escalade
My transmission reset the adaptations to blow up and I had to spend $3000.00 for a new transmission.
They have terrible customer service. Shipping id a bit much sometimes. Only bad things i have to say about rock.
2007 tundra 4.7 I made the mistake of swapping non OEM toyota WS. Transmission started shuddering even after switching back to toyota WS. I put in one tube of Shudderfix and it has not shuddered ONCE since adding. I was honestly shocked.
Well done and straight to the point, giving us just the information we need to succeed. Thank you for making this video.

Is it ok for 2002 tahoe flex fuel and cherokee xj 2000?
Used this in my F150 and sudder was gone right away
How many did you put
@@GEG-w4j Just one tube, bought 2 and to this date no shudder or problems.Honestly I thought it was snake oil but it worked.
@@jerrypauling7809 what make and model do you have ?
This product was added with existing fluid and new fluid and STILL DID NOT WORK- PRODUCT SUCKS
That doesn't mean the product sucks, that means your transmission is beyond saving with a bandaid fix.
Would it work with torsen lsd
I've never ordered from them before . There's so many other options , I just haven't had the need to . Not saying I never will , but the negative reviews would make them low on my go to list
Louisville misses Rocky Pruitt and his crew! Where did everyone go? Is anyone left in town that does this quality work and builds quality relationships ?
Thumbs down. Because so many people are asking questions that they coupd easily answer but chose not to.smh
Bought it with high expectations only to find that my 2020 Fusion has no transmission dipstick to pour it into.
It's in the trans pan, stupid I know
There is an opening under the vehicle, which is what they use to fill into when a full transmission flush is done.
Why don't they make a rockauto app
