    Alright, who’s ready to throw down with a lower control arm? 💪 Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it sounds-just keep jacking up that sway bar, and no crowbars needed. 😏 And those rusty bolts? Yeah, they’re stubborn, but we’ve got this.
    Don’t forget to book that wheel alignment unless you want your tires looking funky. 😂 Drop your repair wins (or fails) in the comments-I need to know I’m not the only one yelling at car parts. 🚗✨ subscribe here ua-cam.com/channels/oh3C5oRb5WsM5ovai15uQA.html

      You aren't alone, today I got annoyed at someone I don't know for what they did to mount a motor in a go kart(it was so bad I started to wonder if they didn't like their children) 🤣

    Good tip about leaving the sway bar link connected. Tough working out in the elements and on the ground. Ask me how I know. So, Bob is your uncle? I always heard that Robert was your father’s brother. Good one, Jason. Now go warm up. I liked the tool selection part.🎉

    Got give it to you at your age still crawling around on the ground and working on cars... Me at 63 so glad I got a lift... I don't know what fittings your using for your air tools but long ago I switched to high flow T style couplers and fitting the feed hole is almost 3/8 from harbor freight it helps feed my tools and my northern tool Clutch G10K 1/2 impact not much stops it... Keep working and enjoying life 👍💪🇺🇸

    Are those 2 upper bolts screwed into the frame, or do they have nuts on them?

    Bear of a job on a gravel drive forsure. Saved yourself a lot of money diy. Your impact gun sounded real low on pressure , put a gauge on the end of the air line , it sounds like around 75 psi.

    • @DIYVariety
      @DIYVariety  5 днів тому +2

      I did put a 1/2 inch hose and checked it it was at just over 90psi but i only got 20 gallon tank so only get sperts. I get about 6 seconds at about 95 psi and then slowly drops. But i got her done.

    • @SteveRobReviews
      @SteveRobReviews 5 днів тому

      @DIYVariety I have to crank mine up to 140psi at the compressor to get 90psi at the gun , 50 ft hose.
