As mentioned in the video, it's important to keep directional tyres pointing in the way they were intended when mounted, these can only usually be a swapped front to back, never side to side unless they are remounted on the wheel for direction
That's what I was told. I was told not to do what this video says with modern tires
@@chenlee3240 it is confusing I guess, just keep directional tyres direction. What part of this vid goes against what you were told? I thought they covered everything
@@bonkeydollocks1879 You can put the wheel side to side and out it on the other side then have the tire took off and get it turned around and put back into the wheel. Like he half way commented and said dont do it. But it's possible. And normal. All he did was close all idea before you think more into it 💬
@@cognac8297 of course if you are going to take tyres off and remount that's a different story, I'm talking just swapping sided to side with no remounting ..🙄
@@bonkeydollocks1879 heck yeah ,
This video is very helpful and smart 👍👍👍
Great voice!!

Yeah, my '63 Impala (no power steering) wanders all over the road, lotsa slack in steering. Hard to find a mechanic for a 60 yr old car. Very frustrating as its a very nice car.
To bad you didn't live in Mn I could help you out
@@wolvenar My understanding is that the slack may simply be in the steering gear box. I have loosened the set-nut on top of gear box but cant adjust set-screw that is within the nut, set-screw takes a flat screwdriver, seems fairly simple, but simply retightened the nut so I can drive the car. Am I going about that correctly? Maybe you can give me some advice on that, would be appreciated.
@@TRIGGER861 Generally speaking when you get wear on those gears it is mainly in the center most used area of the gears. If it is bad enough to need much tightening once you do, when you steer outside of the worn area it will want to bind, or be tight enough that the steering cannot self center again. So short of a hard to get part, its far better to replace the entire thing. But before doing that check all your system for slack, the idle arm, tie rod ends etc. It doesn't take much in each part to add up to quite a lot of slack. Be sure to look for movment in every dimension not just along the direction of travel. I have substituted original gear boxes with newer types from other vehicles but it makes for a bit of extra work looking for the best match with the least fabrication work.
I have an idea about car 🚙 alignment
Muy bueno. Gracias.
Muito difícil sem a road force
no shop these days will go to that trouble, to figure out what is wrong with the car. rotating the wheel so many time until figure out what works.....they just do the alignment and ban off you go.. they are not going to test the car and then say, oops it is not fix yet, and do it all over again.
Actually, my shop does. I agree with you that it's not common practice but they're out there
