This is not the video you want to follow. There's no need to take off the tie rod end or the knuckle.

[@dave6032]

Precise and to the point… excellent video… thanks

[@venomrogue1]

I don’t like leaving just the lower ball joint connected. Great way damage it. Not required to remove strut bolts to do this job.

[@Ken-1]

Is this like a 1A Auto spinoff channel/brand? Dude, I recognize your voice anywhere haha, great work as always though!

[@SyeberDash]

It’s TRQ it’s the brand of the parts which 1AAUTO sells

[@Jayyak47]

I found taking the knucke off to be helpful i couldnt reach the hub bolts with my impact wrench

[@brianmccabe881]

How long should this take?

[@ChrisShipley-ec5qz]

Question can ur wheel come off riding on bad wheel bearings?

[@brandtrichardson4049]

Great vid

[@alanbrooks3670]

Great step by step guide with all the info for torque specs and bolt size and you make it look easy but after installing should you have to get a alignment you did change the tie rod end wouldn't it possibly change the toe in and with un bolting the struts the camber may be off? Or is that adjusted another way

[@tetris3289]

Wtf why did u take the knuckle out? U had enough room to take the bearing out without it.

[@michealmiller6630]

Just give it a couple loving bonks!!

There is no "R" in Vehicle.
Other than that, wonderful instruction.

[@annaperez7383]

Any info on the front passenger sliders and where they would go plunger side top or bottom?

[@DevJB]

The top guide pin is metal. The lock pin (lower) has a plastic
ubber anti-rattle tip.
The lock pin is a few thousands smaller than the solid metal guide pin.
Lock pins go on the lower or front most hole toward front of vehicle.
Imagine car is rolling forward and hits the brakes, the force of the calipers go downward and forward.
We want this lock pin to be on the lower forward spot of the down force.
This lock pin rubber sleeve comes in a boot kit and should be replaced because it may swell with age or wrong grease and cause pads to stick\wear.

No buddy, you don't need take off all these parts to reemplace the bearing hub, you wrong definitely !

[@thatvegashighrisedude2757]

Do you need to do a alignment after doing this ?

[@TRQ]

+ThatVegas HighriseDude No alignment is needed if you are just replacing the wheel hub assembly.
