In today's video, I tear down the front suspension in the 240SX to prepare it for a complete rebuild. By the time I'm finished, everything will be brand new, right down to the nuts and bolts. While taking things apart, I ran into some unexpected setbacks (of course, haha) but it lead to even better solutions! As always, a huge thanks to you all for supporting this project and for your patience over the past couple of months. Pretty soon, this car will be back on the ground, driving and handling better than ever!

Thank you all sooo much for your patience with this project! We’re getting close to seeing the car back on the ground. Lots to do still, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel! At least with the suspension rebuild 😂 Hope everyone has a great evening!
Hey Kyle, I wanted to know if you can do a review of the 2018 Chevy Traverse or the 2018 Ford Taurus please. Thanks
Of course man! :) i really enjoy ur videos (just fyi i met u at ur dads dealership on March of 2013 for my bday lol) but ur channel is one of my top favorite channels on YT!
Saabkyle04 it was worth the wait the 240 is turning out good
Saabkyle04 Can we expect monthly 240 videos
I have three more videos I'm working on to finish up the suspension rebuild. If things go as planned, I'll have at least one, maybe two, of them up before the end of the month. After the garage is finishes, things should get a bit more regular. Thanks!
Yeah more 240sx videos keep it coming
Great job so far. You and Chrisfix are one of the best automotive youtubers on the internet!
Finally another 240sx video! 😊
240 Video? Today was a good day.
Oh my god I've been waiting for this for so long !!
+1 for SPL, end game control arms for sure
Obsessed garage can help out with setting up your new garage!
awh man, this video gives me chills. I did the same front suspension restore to my daily driver ealier this year and it's funny how easy it looks in your video to remove all these rusted messed up 20+ year old parts from the car when in reality it's a PAIN and I remember I got so many cuts in my hands and spent about two weeks camping below my car to get it done.
totally worth tho, resto mod is something ANYBODY who wants to keep a timey car for longer but up to date for whatever reason, be it nostalgia, memories, really liking the car, or the car being a classic.
Fantastic video as always!
The teardown of the front suspension is so cool!
Well done!
Dude great videos....takes me back to when I used to bend a wrench back in the day. I still can just don't have time or space.
Shortest 10 minute video I ever watched!
Can't wait for part 2 and more.
Glad to hear it! Thank you!
Please more of these videos.
So glad to see the 240 progress! I've been getting more and more envious watching the updates!
Man, it's been killing me not having these videos going up on the regular, but you can't help Life I suppose haha. Hopefully by the start of summer, I'll get into a good groove with this and more. The new garage is going to be a big help.
Hey Kyle I'd love to see a time lapse, explanation/vlog type video of setting up the new garage, getting the tools organized
Always great to renew and old car. I'm restoring a 2002 Saab 9-5 Aero and I dread the day the project is finished...
You're always talking about parts being in a bad shape, but trust me, your s13 is amongst the cleanest and least broken ones I've seen haha
Keep the videos coming, I love your content!
I loved this series & I love the way you are renewing the 240 ♥
You have to upload more often for us to keep up with your projects. And I am looking forward to that classic car!
Good job kyle keep up ,😊
most complete 240 build...ever!!! can't wait to see it done :D
Awesome video Kyle!
Thanks Andrew!
Great stuff Kyle love these videos!
Great video. And I am glad you did this, as I am looking forward to the same thing, except it will be an abandoned 240, that has been sitting for 15 years, and driven/drifted/abused, for 10 years prior to its garage days.
Thats is alot of work & I can't wait to see the 240 on the road.
Hey Kyle, I really enjoy the 240 stuff, and I believe others do as well, I recommend posting more 240 content because it’s really interesting and cool
Wow, I have to do the same thing to my 07 Toyota Sienna AWD minivan. I also have to replace the entire exhaust system. She’s from MI. So, that’s why. I really love the color and style of the ratchet and other tools from that tool company. Wished they would sponsor me hahahahah.
Te quedo chingon kyle, saludos
I've never seen a good condition stock-ish 240sx
Keep up the good work for my big bro kyle (because im a s14 lol)
Great work! Looking forward for part. 2! Please, give us more 240sx videos)
Really love the series, keep up the good work.
Great video!
Keep it coming, can't wait for the next video.
I see you've been working out
Finally! I have been waiting for this one!
Yessir!
YASS Welcome back Kyle!
iam fan of you from saudia arabia since 2008
Excellent job Kyle, is taking so long, but the car will be excellent at handling, cheers
Thanks pal!
Cool video
Outstanding video.
Thanks Ben!
great video kyle
Thank you!!
COOL Tearing Down The Front Suspension In YOUR 240SX!
My auto tech school has a couple of those ball joint separator tools.
love this channel Great job
I’d love to see more of your 1969 Chevy Chevelle Malibu!
Not much will be happening with the Chevelle for a while. It needs a lot of bodywork before I can think of doing anything worthwhile to it. I'm sure I'll think of some content for it this summer, but my efforts need to be focused on the 240 for now. I'm also planning on starting a slightly less gnarly series on the Jimmy in the coming months!
Nice!!
Great work!
Thank you!
Cool, pal
Hey Kyle, Was wondering if you contacted ISR about those suspension arms at all? I just purchased those same suspension arms for my 91 240SX, after hearing a lot of people recommending them. My build goals are very similar to yours, focusing on reliability, adjustability, and refreshing old parts (though nowhere near as extensive as your project) and severe bushing degradation within a year is not cool. I was wondering if ISR had any advice for extending the life of these components or if they would be willing to replace them should these failures occur? Or are they just aimed at people building drift missiles? I'm trying to make up my mind whether I want to actually install these arms on my car or if I just want to return/ebay them off and get something that will last. Regardless, fantastic videos all around. There is a plethora of useful information in every one that has made my own build progress a lot smoother. Looking forward to seeing more!
EDIT: Upon looking further, it appears that the black "bushings" as you termed them are actually dust covers for spherical bearings. Failure is failure, as cracking the dust covers will allow all sorts of stuff to get in and start grinding up that bearing, but the issue may not be as extreme as initially thought. Looking at older models of those ISR arms (back when they were terrorist control arms) show no dust covers present. It looks like those dust covers might be a revised design addition.
Hope the move is going good Kyle.
Thanks bud!
Awesome video, any chance you can get your hands on a Buick Regal Tourx?
If you are going to go RB, you will need to swap your sub frame to R32 one and sikky sway bar for clearing the oil pan. Try avoiding doing things twice.
Yeah, I already have the subframe. I'll be tackling that this summer sometime. Swapping the subframe shouldn't be too bad, I'm learning as I go and just trying to do the best job I can.
Hello Kyle,thanks so much!Very interesting.And what with your Fairlane 500?Did you sell it?
очень круто, ты отличный мастер!
Awesome can you do a video on the other Blazer please
Yessir, I'll be doing a whole series on it, sort of a budget restoration/daily driver build. I hope to start on it this summer.
Saabkyle04 Yeah Sounds Good 👌🏼
Great video can’t wait until next video
And does anyone know where I can buy parts for Mitsubishi pajero 1985
Do a review of the 2018 Toyota Camry SE
Came here from Chris fix 😁
will you disclose the overall prices and cost of this project at the "end"?
I just bought the isr arms…
Damn i been waiting for this episode but UA-cam has been hiding it from me😑😑
How's doing your powder coating?
do you still have your viper
How expensive front and rear replacement parts?
My cars oem. Ik it needs it. Its a classic now… 25+ years old
Keep up the vids dude! Quickly what kit/Brakes did you get? got a link to the product?? I want to do it to my S14, Thanks!
eNeRGizer99Nick Thanks man! I ordered the front and rear brake kits from Raw Brokerage down in Florida. To my knowledge, they’re the only ones that sell this particular package as it’s not officially sold by Wilwood. My email is Kyle@Saabkyle04.com, feel free to shoot me an email and I’d be happy to go into the set up more in depth and answer any other questions you have! It was a challenge putting it all together and I had to get some custom stuff done but anybody could do it with the right amount of patience 😁👍🏻
Hey Kyle, i got a question I'm looking at a 2012 srt8 for 33.9k or should i go a few thousand up for a charger r/t for 36.9k?
I would love to have that beastly 6.4 hemi but the 5.7 in the r/t isn't no slouch either
get car within stock specifications then modify. im not surprised by the way your aftermarket parts bushings ripped. i do not believe this was due to manufacturing defects.
no one warned kyle about ISR parts i see...
Moving from Winston? Nooooo I hope you are still there I haven't met you yet I try every time I go there hoping I will run into you
Neal Borad I’m just moving down the road so I’ll sill be around 😁🤘🏻
Sweet!
Very interesting! 👍I agree to me on the channel, !!!🚘🚗
I will always take it !!! :-)
Just the next day !!! :-)
What you actually want to do with the 240sx?
Do you still own that 58' Biscayne and if you do will you do a restoration?
No, I sold it, it was going to be more trouble than it was worth. I'm going to keep it at three projects for now, this, the jimmy and the chevelle. The Chevelle won't start for a while, going to focus on the others first.
Is there no such thing as an MOT or inspection in America? cause those split tie rod and ball joints would’ve failed instantly
But Kyle, will the RB engine fit with a Nismo power brace ?
Yeah, it should fit just fine
Good :)
Never clicked a video so fast in my life
Damn dat #Demon Tshirt
Why didn’t you get bigger sway bars.
I said in the video that I just wanted to upgrade what I have for now. With everything else, it's going to be quite a bit stiffer already. Don't want to go too overboard off the bat, especially for a street car.
Saabkyle04 yeah true I understand you.
Saabkyle04 I really love your build videos.
Thanks buddy!!
wtf youtube didn't send me a noti for this
one quick question, does it have ABS on brakes?
No, it doesn't have ABS.
I love this channel a lot but it kind of worries me by looking at his view to subscriber ratio which isn't exactly good, almost looks like this channel is dying. I really hope he gets back in the groove and starts to revive his subscriber base.
James Redmond Subscriber counts mean nothing anymore, it’s all about who can play the algorithm the best. Everybody’s gone to click bait and vlogs. It doesn’t matter how good your videos are or how long it takes you to edit them, if you’re not favored in UA-cam eyes then nothing matters. This is been an issue for quite a while now and I’m not sure it’ll ever change. It sucks, but the channel as a whole is still doing well. At this point I’m just trying to have some fun and make more variety. UA-cam is not pushing my videos to the vast majority of my subscribers.
I hear you on that Kyle. A small change that may help is informing viewers about the bell notification and to set it to always. Obviously other solutions like patreon are out there, but something simple to throw in at the end might be enough for now.
Saabkyle04 I really hope this doesn't affect your business as much as one might think it would.
Yeah I know what you mean youtube really messes up for these kinds of things. I wasn't trying to be negative at all just more concerned because i've been watching you since 2011 lol and I really love what you do with your channel., the amount of effort you put into your videos is insane and it shows. Keep doing you and having fun with it! Cheers.
nest video STAT please ;)
ну молодец
ok but why the 2 parts? 20 minutes is too long?
this would be a dream to do with my rustfree 1. owner 200sx :(
But this are thousands of dollars
so basically ISR arms suck?
Man, idk what happened. Maybe I got a bad batch or something. I'd be interested to know if anyone else experienced the same problem. That's a lot of money to spend on something that deteriorated so quickly.
I have a brand new set I ordered that's supposed to go on my S13 this summer but after seeing your experience I'm having second thoughts. I still might throw them on and just check up on them after like 9 months but damn, I'm kinda bummed.
ISR parts have been quality for me - sad you got shitty ones
Ben Jammin Yeah man, idk what happened 😩
Wait he's married? :O He still looks like he'll be graduating high school this year XD
Darksyne 5 years this year 👌🏻😎 I’ll be 29 in August 😅 what’s even crazier is that this will be my 10th year on UA-cam!
Saabkyle04 10 years already! Man the time flies fast, I’ve been a subscriber since you uploaded the video of the red Corvette Zr1! Congrats on te anniversary! 😊
Eyyy
What will you be doing with all the older "new" suspension components? Broke college students such as myself wouldnt mind buying them off you hahaha. Pm me if you're willing to sell them please
Buttmongrel3 I sent them back to the manufacturer, sorry bud. You would be better off sticking with stock for the time being. I wouldn’t want you to have a possible safety issue 👍🏻
Saabkyle04 Dang! Thats too bad. Thank you anyways, and thank you very much for the reply!
Bro these videos are taking to long to come out
I explained why at the beginning of the video. I've had a lot on my plate.
Saabkyle04 yea i know it's cool tho I can wait, hope to see the next video soon👌
Yessir, I'll have at least one up before the end of the month!
You have a wife?...
I LITERALLY THOUGHT YOU WHERE LIKE 19
Oooooooof
Wise fad?
And also wife??
Great video can’t wait until next video
And does anyone know where I can buy parts for Mitsubishi pajero 1985
