    I love watching your vehicle videos. I love how you always give reasons why something could be the problem. You create these videos as if I was standing in front of you and your talk to me as if you want me to learn the vehicle language and educate me so that if I have to get a mechanic to look amazing fix my truck and not take advantage of me.

  • @JourneyWithDavaoJack

    After replacing all new front end parts, including hub assemblies, my van still pulls to the right. I had to replace the left hub twice because it was very loose and was told that was starting to cause minor issues with the left steer tire. The alignment was done with no tire replacement because it wasn't in that bad of shape. How would a slightly imperfect tire on the left cause the vehicle to veer right? I think I WILL swap out the front and rear tires on that side and see what happens.
    Thanks
    OH, BY THE WAY, NICE RELAXING BACKGROUND MUSIC.

    I have some real weird things going on in my front end. When I brake pulls to the right. When I accelerate it pulls to the left. When I am sitting still and I quickly hit the brake pedal I can hear and feel a loud clunk on the right side. I will change all calipers, rotors, pads and struts this spring on my

  • @iTz_RaptorV1
    @iTz_RaptorV1 2 роки тому

    OK, so I'm having an issue with my steering and maybe someone else did the exact same thing I did which is causing me a headache. Long story short I'm having alignment issues and it all began happening when I parked too close to the curb one day. When I went to drive off, I turned the wheel in a rush instead of slowly pulling forward and then slowly turning it, which caused me to basically shove the car to the left from the curb. It caused some damage as I took it to Firestone and they told me they had to adjust the 3 bolts under the hood in order to get the strut to be jn the right spot barely, but even then it drives wonky. It'll pull to the left and the steering wheel always nudges slightly off center to the left ever so slightly. Also when I'm on the freeway and there's a long bend either left or right, I look like I'm driving drunk trying to keep it in the lane smoothly turning it either doesn't turn enough or overpoweringly wants to turn and I have to let off the turning so I end up looking like a clown on the freeway. Any ideas what component would be damaged first that would cause this havoc at all like what would I have damaged from the curb incident possibly? I've already tried to get it aligned many times and the car barely drives okay but it's always wonky when steering left or right on the freeway and it feels like overly aggressive to veer left and right on the freeway it's not smooth and buttery like it used to be its just very dramatic and sudden in wanting to barely veer left or right. I hate driving this car now because of this issue. Any input greatly helps. Thank you. 🤙🤙

    I have had pulling to the right with my 11 TC
    I bought some cheepo rims n tires of FB marketplace
    When putting them on I noticed the back right was cambered tilted up
    so I was like setting the tire up on the hub , which i can tell was taking a beating
    on the bolts that the tire sits on.
    The car then Starts Amazingly pulling to the left , So i'm thinking bent rims or something
    So I stuck the 18's back on and it when back to driving somewhat better , no pull to the left,
    BUT BACK TO PULLING RIGHT
    So I evaluate the tires themselves and they are unevenly worn
    So I Go to the tire store and BOOM 614 out the door , NEW TIRES
    It drives absolutely straight for about 250 -300 miles and then i notice it gradually
    pulling again to the right
    Could the cambered back right hub be causing wear on all the tires..
    I bet if I rotated the tires it would be better.
    There is also a squeeking noise with a back break,
    and a clicking noise when turning sharp in the steering wheel.
    Please help, I really want these NEW tires to last.
