I was born and raised in Newfoundland Canada… you think things rust fast in Illinois… Just add salt air and 200 days of precipitation (be it rain or snow) and the term “watch it rust” is not an alliteration… 😂😂
Nice vid, Scott! Wouldn't mind seeing more of these types of videos. As a native Chicagoan and current Michigan resident it's always nice to see you and Eric O. from SMA deal with the Rust Belt beauties!. Makes me feel less lonely! Misery loves company!
It’s nice to see your mechanical talents on display Scott. I hope your enjoyed the change of scenery as we did as well. Your a man of many many talents. See you in the next installment.
Shops only want gravy work anymore. My buddies 1995 GMC 3500 has upper bushings saturated with diesel and oil for a couple hundred thousand miles, can move with prybar easy enough, upper ball joint that when you push in the top of wheel the control are pops up and down on it. So former shop I worked at told him, Naw, it's all fine, despite the cupping on the inside of front tires with only 10k on them. So Good on you Scott for being one of the few, the extremely few., who still care about actually fixing vehicles and not just making quick easy money. I always counted the easy jobs as the balance for the tough jobs I never turned away.
forgot to count how many ugger duggers were used on this one and then subtract the electrical udder duggers then times by that clicky bar thing,job done,brilliant as always
I bought a 2020 Outback a week ago and was wearing my Vehcor hoodie when I did. On the drive home I thought "Haven't seen a Subaru on Scott's channel before." Well...
I have had bearing packs like that almost fall apart on my Suburban. I really like the bearing pack hub instead of pressed in bearings. Great work as always Scott!
It was nice to see the other side (the one that pays your bills), and maybe this will slow down some of the haters when they see you working on things other than bodies and frames (yeah, I know, one can dream). Very informative video!
Great content and great channel. I watch every one of your videos faithfully. More Subaru content like this would be awesome! Would love to see you rebuild a Subaru, like you do all of those Grand Am’s …. Do it!
Was just in my first accident at 41 years old. My vehicle is likely totaled. It's a real bummer, but it would be cool if it somehow ended up in your hands as a rebuild.
I was shocked to see a Subie on today 👍 In southern ontario I had to completely remove the rear knuckle and a local machine shop pressed it out. 16 tonne pressure. No wonder my pounding wasnt doing anything. Backing plates totally rotten and likely just as much noise as the wheel bearing. I went with oem bearings as I had a moog and a skf fail within 80k. Big birtha really useful. Have to keep an eye out on auctions. And you even used a torque wrench on the axle nut! Will make that bearing last. Nice work
I have a Forester for around 5/6 years and got about a hundred thousand miles on mine. And it's going really well though those bushings are starting to look tired. Great job love to see you doing the work right the first time. Take care at all the best from Canada
Scott - nice job, once again. Nice change of pace to watch you exercise your extensive mechanical skills. Yeah, the owner needs to / should take full advantage of your body working skills. At the start of the video I thought for sure the Subie was in for you to work your body skills magic. Certainly needs it; classic Chicago car.
You broke out the fire wrench and you didn't show us? That was the best cotter pin bending I've ever seen. Okay enough of that I don't like gushing great video.
I'm impressed, Subarus around here usually get those codes after the entire arm assembly has rusted off... never make it to actually wearing out the bearing... weird.
I really enjoy all your videos--probably the body work ones more so. I enjoy all the special tools--bumper installation and belt moulding installation. Oh yeah I almost forgot all the special torque tools also!! One I watched even had two pizza girls and neither one brought you a pizza--what gives?? Enjoyable to watch a skilled craftsman at work!! Thanks for sharing!
Little time saver when it comes to the cotter pins, if you're replacing the part they go through you can bend them up enough to get the socket on then hit it with the impact and shred the pin. No need to mess around with saving the part that's going in the pile
You know it's going to be a rough day when you start with the easiest job and that is a wheel bearing on a drive axle. That one came apart way easier than I would have thought. Usually, there is a massive amount of heat required, followed by an extended time persuading it with an air hammer. Don't forget to throw in some fine expletives, to appease the rust gods. Maybe that was a southern car for part of it's lifetime. Funny though that there wasn't a single gnome in sight.
First off I thought you wore safety toe crocs, second lol with the way things rust in the rust belt .... the car may be at a co-part the next time you see it lol but hey one can have hope :} Thanks for the vid and laughs lol
@@vehcor Please clarify. The Subaru was a paying job so it was profitable? Or you will get more views on the Subaru job. In regard to the the Mustang, you are doing it just for the giggles or is it a paying job?
I did clarify in the many videos you did not watch. Makes me wonder why you want more of something you don't watch. UA-cam revenue does not even cover my time to edit the videos. The Mustang will be seen when the terms are met. What terms? Maybe you should go watch the last video on it.
@@vehcor WOW Scott your are quick to take offense. Contrary to your remarks I have been a regular viewer for going on 4 years. I think the series on the "The Mistake" Silverado was when I first came across the channel.
Offense? How exactly do you think you have offended me? I’m trying to understand what I need to do to get you to understand that I would rather make money than spend it right now. I said that in the video, what I didn’t say is why and that really isn’t any of your concern. If you watched the video, there was no need for this comment unless you just need special attention. The work on the Mustang will be seen on my terms or the terms of whoever is paying me. Let me know if you want the info for the wire transfer and I’ll start posting videos immediately. Since you are unhappy with my content, feel to stop watching the channel.
I hope for your sake you never have to see that one again Scott. Fixing the body damage on that car would be like repainting the titanic where it currently sits.
Even at 140,000 miles on that beater, the first hub bearing, and the control arm looked OEM. Good to see Mr. Spotty is still on staff.
On Illinois roads, that is some kind of record! lol
I was born and raised in Newfoundland Canada… you think things rust fast in Illinois… Just add salt air and 200 days of precipitation (be it rain or snow) and the term “watch it rust” is not an alliteration… 😂😂
Nice work. That will make the customer happy especially after resetting the steering angle sensor.
This was a nice change of pace from your usual videos.
It was this or nothing. 😂
@@vehcorbut Mustang! Yes I mentioned it! 😉
@@vehcor this...every day I get to pick your brain for free, is a good day bro!!
@@oldman936 You realize you just ruined it. Now he for sure won't work on it!
@@resurrectionautorebuilders8465 hopefully someday we’ll see Scott finish it. In the meantime I’ll watch whatever he puts out.

Your attention to detail is a credit to you just wish there was more like you 👍🏻🏴
Man.. curb jumper or pot hole finder. Well it made it to the right person. Stay safe and be well Scott! Have a great weekend. Thanks for sharing
Nah, this is the suspension of a Chicago vehicle after a trip around the block on our awesome roads. lol
@@vehcor man and I thought Philthadelphia was rough.. 😆 🤣 😂
Thank you Scott, my favorite pastime, watching people work hard while I sit on my arse drinking beer. Cheers mate!

I actually like Subis, they are just expensive to rebuild.
I have had bearing packs like that almost fall apart on my Suburban. I really like the bearing pack hub instead of pressed in bearings. Great work as always Scott!
Wow! That Subie has had a rough life! Great job bringing some new life into it!
@vehcor I hope you have a great weekend!
Same to you!

Good content as always. Nice way of ending the week, watching and learning something interesting. 👍
Thanks 👍
Nice change of pace I enjoyed.....
Thanks!
I owned a 2018, I replaced both rear bearings, front A arms , one abs sensor, ball joints. Yes I sold it.
Love your builds and day to day work. Wish we could see an update on the Mustang.
Yep, I’m waiting for this 😊
Awesome video Scott. 🚗🚗🚗
You broke out the fire wrench and you didn't show us? That was the best cotter pin bending I've ever seen. Okay enough of that I don't like gushing great video.
I usually never comment on your vids but I love your vids. Plus I'm trying to help the algorithm🔥
I appreciate that
I liked this video! Fun change of pace from the boring build fridays
The commentary on the bolt definitely kept me watching 😂
Your use of adjustable sway bar link tool makes me feel better. They do have a place in a "real" mechanic shop.
Happy Friday, Scott!🍻
I love watching your videos your amazing at what you do! Wish we had honest good professional like you here in New York City
Great job, Scott!
I'm impressed, Subarus around here usually get those codes after the entire arm assembly has rusted off... never make it to actually wearing out the bearing... weird.
Another great video, thanks Scott.
In awe it took apart that easy
Great video Scott 👍 👍 👍

That car looks like it has zero undamaged Bodypanels :D But Great work as always Scott!
I think the roof is dent-free... lol
@@vehcor for now...
Single figures at least.
Happy Friday Scott!!
Hope its not too darn cold!
#10 😂 Anything less than 80° and sunny is too cold!
Good job Mr spotty
A little different video I enjoyed it
Awesome show my friend.
Thank you kindly
“Mechanics Glitter” gets all over the place
Best Quote.
All round master love you videos
Hello Scott! Thumbs UP!!
👋🏻 and thanks for the support
I have not ever broken those Subaru ball joint bolts off and had to use a through-bolt and nut. This year.
Little time saver when it comes to the cotter pins, if you're replacing the part they go through you can bend them up enough to get the socket on then hit it with the impact and shred the pin. No need to mess around with saving the part that's going in the pile
i like the mechanical vids as a change to the rebuild type
I would pay extra if my mechanic was confident enough (and honest enough) to film the work he does on my car.
Another fine video. They should have paid you to do the brakes while you were there.
was waiting to see how you clamped the inner tie rod boot onto the rack.
How about an update on the home office or man cave. Outstanding video's
The sound of train horn sounds awesome.
I am constantly surprised by the things that have to be hammered into place that fall out the minute you let I let go to reach for something
Hola saludos desde CDMX de 🇲🇽 y esperando el nuevo video 👍 buen trabajo
No habla español
Wait a minute, this isn't SMA. That's where I normally find my rusty subaru content
Hey there viewers! Welcome back to the south main auto channel western location! 😂
@@vehcor My two favorite channels to watch, never miss an upload. There's a lot of BS nonsense on youtube, but you two are both great at what you do.
@@vehcor C-L-E-V-E-R ! Loved watching your repairs, fast and efficient .
Where does the owner take that car for service? It's difficult to believe those all failed at once. It must have been fun to drive.
How does this car have such nice looking tires?
I really enjoy your videos and your style of dry humour. Why do you always call a wheel a tire?
good video thanks
That had to be driving like a dream with 3 loose wheels.
It was not the worst I have driven. lol

I am part of the "first" group. This walkthrough is very thorough.
Will u show a video on how u made Big Bertha?
It was purchased decades ago. I cannot find another one.
the words "holy shit!" were uttered multiple times during this video.
The customer just wanted to get all the life out of the old parts. lol
Literally drove it till the wheels fell off!
"A lot of other problems" Quite the understatement. Bumper, Fender, Door1, Door2, Mirror. Must be the Pizza Girl's Car.
How do people drive a car in that state?
It must have been clunking for a few months.
All of those are annual inspection fails in the UK.
Oh, this is a good condition car in Chicago! 😂
First off I thought you wore safety toe crocs, second lol with the way things rust in the rust belt .... the car may be at a co-part the next time you see it lol but hey one can have hope :} Thanks for the vid and laughs lol
As a bearing aficionado, I love me some bearing videos! What brand of bearing did you use to replace the bad one out of curiosity!
Nice I says,…. Real real nice!
👍🏻
With all the wheel problems, were the tires new? It doesn’t appear there was any unusual wear patterns on any of them.
any chance of getting the thick handled vice grips in your store? mine hurt my hands nice video too
Sir: have you confused a control arm installation tool with a infotainment repair tool?
Mr. Spotty was disappointed no body work. Hopefully it comes back before the Rust Monster eats the rest of it.
hey, if only 3 of the 4 wheels were falling off, does that mean the 4th already fell off?
6:36 - does it take more, less or the same amount of ugga-duugas when using a battery operated tool compared to a corded tool?
Need more MKT content!
Your "clicks" sound official.
Heyyyy what happened? No epidsode on Friday evening(RO, Europe), i'm sad
I must of miss it , did you put a new lower control arm or replace the bushing?
Mr. Spotty has made an appearance... Must have made decent money on this repair to afford that cameo appearance.
Are we scrapping the bottom of the barrel for content? How about some Mustang work. If you can find it under all the dust. Thanks for posting.
Bottom of the barrel and still makes more money than the Mustang ever will.

What is the puller you call "Big Bertha"? And where could I possibly purchase one at?
Scott - You need to work a trailer unloading scream into these mechanical repair videos. Lol.
😂
Choosing the wrong caliper bolt first can happen to the best of us 😁
Them dam sea turtles get everywhere 🤣. Another great video Scott 👍
How long did it take to do it the cave man way compared to the new light yeat tools
"Boring Repair Friday"? That's something new...
Annual Ministry of Transport (MoT) in the UK, it would have failed three years ago!! Only 1:43 into the video.
Our safety tests would have failed it as well.
Even Mr Spotty wouldn't stick to the bodywork on that.
Fight the power
That's a lot of differed maintenance!
I would love to now what railway line is outside your workplace?
It's hard to get good help these days. ( referencing the dummy that removed the top caliper bolt first)
Right?! This guy calls himself a mechanic! lol
I hope for your sake you never have to see that one again Scott. Fixing the body damage on that car would be like repainting the titanic where it currently sits.
"Glitter" = Tin Man, because any use of the stuff at all guarantees you will spend your day looking like the friggin' Tin Man every time.
Looks like the greasable Moog tie rod end didnt last long
Turns out you have to grease those darn things. lol
2014 and the frame is NOT rusted out? 😳
