  • Part 2 is HERE! Oil Soaked Rack and Pinion Bushings! Torn and Mushy! 1998 Ford Mustang Gt 4.6 • Long Term Oil Change D...
    This 1998 Mustang needed a suspension check after years of sitting. It has low miles for its age but needs a rebuild in a few ares. We need to check the ball joins, sie rods, rack and pinion, as well as the shocks and struts. The customer states that the steering is binding, a little disassembly will help to diagnose the issue by isolating components.

    @alfredocarpaneto5976 9 місяців тому +37

    I honestly like the voice over Ray. You are in a different emotional state and have the benefit of hindsight so the commentary helps us know what was going through your mind, and your wit is a great tool here, you can evaluate your own work and make it entertaining, what mistakes were made etc and most importantly how you could have done it better. That is like a bonus video especially for the DIY audience. I would do one of these each week or every other week. It works.

    • @glenniz1
      @glenniz1 9 місяців тому +3

      Maybe one or two videos a month, of course at your discretion Ray, but going over a video or two, talking about the repair, installation or whatever you decide and how it could have been done differently in order to facilitate the speed, cost or longevity of what was done to the vehicle. Also, updates as far as how a certain part was modified, (due to no replacement part available), or the modification done for performance gains, etc., etc.!
      No matter what Ray, we'll continue to watch your videos brother, your wit, humor and knowledge is truly why we always come back for more..... You've simply become a part of everyone's family!

Really? I understand they can't put that in for time sake, but at least say so. Doing an alternator on my V6 Camry, it was a nightmare reaching the lower bilts, yet, they zipped them off on the video 😂.yeah, editing.

    Ray I don't care if you loose sound, you can always fix it, like the way you did it. I will always watch your videos to the end! You are meticulous at your job, and I enjoy watching you work! I noticed that more of the walls and trim painted as you worked, your shop is looking good!
    I know its frustrating when working on the cars that it doesn't go as planned ie ball joints refusing to follow directions.. lol 😆 and then sound stage goes silent 🤫
    BUT, you seem to always have a work around, which is very enlightening, amazing and enjoyable to watch! Like I said, don't ever give into disappointments because they could bring you answers, that you never would have thought about. 🤔😃
    Love watching, keep up the good work!
    God Bless!

    Wow! Those wheels show a lot of curb rash damage!
    Anti-seize, I use it on almost every bolt.
    And no, I don't care that it changes my torque settings. Never had a problem with that being an issue.
    I don't like rust and I don't like bolts that break off!!!

  • @glenniz1
    @glenniz1 9 місяців тому +4

    I'm actually enjoying the voiceover Ray, it's a cool change of pace. What's truly most important though, is the information we learn about the work being done, I've never worked on this generation of Mustang, so your mention of bolt head size vs nut size is very helpful, also the fact that the axle is relying on the shock absorber to hold it in place, and many other useful tidbits of information we gain, as you go along throughout the video!
    I'll be sixty four years old tomorrow, and have been working on cars and dirt bikes since I was ten, so even after fifty four years of wrenching, I still listen intently to what you have to say as you go along.... I'm always in the learning mode!!!👍

    Hey Ray, here’s a suggestion, use the puller to only apply pressure but whack it with a hammer while under pressure. You can save your pullers life by only applying slight pressure and let your hammer do the main work. Most of the time, any mechanical bind can be solved by applying kinetic energy such as a hammer or your impact punch.

    My VW caravelle T4 was making a creaking sound from the front suspension .. I injected some moly grease into the top and lower ball joints and the result was amazing .. nice free steering with no creaking and a silky smooth ride . adapting my grease gun to take a injection syringe was a super lubrication fix .
