      This is what you do. You upgrade the parts before the power, not in response to adding power. So many people ive see first thing they want to do, is add power without having done the 'prep' upgrades first.

    For those who are still confused on what the shocks do:
    What we call shocks are actually shock absorbers. When springs are compressed by a bump in the road, they push against that, but they over shoot and extend past the original position if there isn't a counter force. They oscillate back and forth quite a bit before returning to the original position. The shock absorbers stop the oscillation so the car doesn't continue to bounce up and down.

I hope this gives you a little idea of things to consider.

      One thing I like to do, is find a big empty parking lot that hasn't been cleared, and practice making turns and breaking at different speeds, to see how the car reacts. I even try to get the car to lose some traction to practice gaining control in a slide. Getting comfortable with how your car reacts in these situations will allow you to stay calm if it happens to while in the road

    First let me say that I really like your videos. I found you originally when looking for tips on soldering wires. You not only helped me get that job done perfectly BUT you also included a bonus tip of putting dielectric grease on the solder joint, pulling the shrink tubing on, heating it from the center and watching the grease come squeezing out the ends..how satisfying!! And perfect!! And I like perfect. That being said...written? Anyhow..the springs control the car's ride height and suspension travel. And the shocks control the springs. You wrote that control arms and bushings have something to do with bouncy suspension, a bouncy ride. Well..control arms are fastened to the chassis using bushings. If they're worn then the car's handling will suffer and also, it shouldn't pass inspection. But worn bushings will not cause the suspension to move up and down. Up and down movement is controlled by the shocks, compression damping is down, rebound damping is up...they control it whether or not the car has worn bushings!
    If you've got a bouncy car, get new shocks!!
    A friend of mine has a badass '67 Camaro. As a little trick you scare all the newcomers away every crew years, he'll remove his front shocks. He'll get to the line, launch it a little, hit the brakes so the front suspension compresses, then let off the brakes and punch the throttle again and boom, he's seeing the sky! Wheelies in a big American muscle car!
    Edit: You got me! I should've watched the entire video before making a comment like this..oops, sorry!
    I still truly don't understand how that bushing slop causes bounce. I don't understand how anything but shocks even could possibly control up and down motion. But I'm not a scientist..so I'm not gonna worry!

    First, I just wanted to say thank you for your video series on car repair. It's been a godsend to me and the fact that you walk us through the steps one by one and not assume that your viewer already knew to do this step and jump to that step and not make the viewer feel like you're 'dumbing it down' for them. However, the vehicle that I work on is a Chrysler Cirrus and I don't know about your other viewer's vehicles but my vehicle's engine compartment is tighter than tight ought to be and I would love to see a video showing any tips or tricks that you have up your sleeve for those hard to access areas of engine compartments. Right now, I'm replacing the valve cover gaskets and of course, the rear valve cover is giving me a hell of a time. There are hoses, wires, etc and it would be great to know what can be temporarily disconnected, if disconnected what sort of clamp or plug can used safely to limit loss of liquid within those lines, how to remove those bolts in the crazy places where you can only get access with a single finger, etc. Now, if you made a detailed video like that, THAT would be an incredible tool for not only me but for a great deal many other subscribers of yours. Keep up the great work.
