      ChrisFix Second. I was was watching some clips from "pros" who had a professional studio to work in, a model perfect fake shop, a beautiful spotless engine to "work" on for their tutorial, and after their wonderfully presented speech and great body posture and eye contact, I wish I had spent the time watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Likewise some other pro dude swapping out an automatic transmission with a brand new six speed stick shift went through the motions, and filled in the gaps with "figure it out on your own", and "you're SOL"

    As a Auto/diesel Technician 38 years this video is right up there with others I have shown people through the years as what shocks that are bad what they do when compared to a new shock. It also shows how much harder other components work due to bad shocks. Thumbs up to the time to make to video to.

    What I admire about you chris, is that most big UA-camrs (not including you) do not pay attention to the comment section. I believe it is a very vital part of keeping and maintaining a good UA-cam community. You in the other hand do the opposit.

      Scotty is a funny guy and very knowledgeable of course, but some of his videos doesn't explain well the process. He goes too quick and I believe he assumes his audience some of the process, therefore he just skipped some steps or just verbally explain them.

  •  4 роки тому

    I now realize ... this is all shot in diferent times.. e.g. showing both old and new shocks at the same time must have been in the middle of your build. and then cuts to where you remove the tire but then the shock is still at the car.
    e.g you show us what happens without shocks... but there you allready painted the diff. that means you knew in the beginning of the vid that you will need that shot and camera angle. Also you talk smooth over in just one take... thats just amazing.
    Its so seamless... the script and the editing is way beyond what some one normaly would expect.
    Great Job!

  • @TheGooberman91
    @TheGooberman91 7 років тому +3

    Great video! In addition, i suggest you add a small leaf to stiffen the leaf pack to get rid of that axle wrap. I had put a set of very light duty add-a-leaf to my tacoma and it took care of the axle wrap as you pointed out in the video. But that's just a suggestion, since it did stiffen the rear end up a bit.. But if you're after more control, that would be beneficial. I got no lift out of it, but surely more control.

    Thanks, Chris, for showing how important shocks are in this video. 2013 Fusion Energi with 225,000 miles and not a single worn suspension part because the shocks/struts have been replaced when due!!!

      You must be really young, then. Canada didn't switch all that long ago, and I was under the impression that most Canadians still used both systems, informally.
