The bolts on the ml are a safety designed assembly, if both nuts come off the wishbone is still held in.
Exactly. It's intentional.
Came to say the same thing
You give the Germans too much credit.
Love that Peter continues to be in videos. Looks like you have a great mechanic buddy.
That is a safety thing on the MLs, if the bolt backs out it wont fall out and drop the control arm. A lot of front end pieces are that way.
“Fail safe” design.
Oops!
Same with my 1GS. Saved my ass when the ass that installed my coilovers didn't double check all of the bolts.
*I'm the aforementioned ass that didn't double check.
I love maintenance videos.
Cars where crying for your attention and felt neglected lol.
Caprice sounds lovely 😍
My favorite part of Saturday morning is the LSC uploads! You the man Alex !
Thanks Andrew!
I feel your pain on the parts. Our shop has some trucks that have been sitting in our yard over 8 months waiting on parts. Pre-Covid it was rare that we waited longer then a day for parts, usually call the warehouse and have it delivered the same day. Now it seems a week or 2 is fast.
this chicago guy is just awesome he does everything around the house plus his fleet...unbelieveable..
I could learn a lesson in patience from you. The fact that 2 of the Mercs in your fleet were down and you had to jump through multiple hoops to get them fixed is an absolutely underrated aspect of the work you do
Pro tip - take your factory alternator to a local auto electric shop (starter/alternator rebuild). They can usually rebuild the alternator fully for less than the cost of a cheap aftermarket unit
Peter is a brilliant guy keep him on the channel
good to see Peter again. Glad you got some help. Great video !
That Caprice 🤤🤤🤤
Thing sounds nasty
@@EliHasan yeah it does!
Made in the USA with Japanese parts…..hahahah. Pete’s the best. Glad you opt to show some of the random wrenching you do as well. Love my LSC shirt too!
"No longer do you have to wait a couple weeks for the tool truck"
I feel you on that one...Been waiting for my warranty replacement hose clamps for like a month now. Im hopefully getting them this week.
That toolbox/work bench is awesome. I love how the cart tucks in, out of the way. If I hadn't just done cabinets 2 years ago and new tool box last summer, this would be high up on the list.
Hey being an Australian car I'd love to organise and send over the bits and pieces you need to put the caprice interior back to normal. Your channel is my favorite and you seem like a really great guy.
It good to a Aussie car over there
@@josephgyselhart2505 sorry? I think there might be some typos. Its good to see an Aussie or is it good to see an Aussie car? My apologies but I'm not 100% on what that means.
It good to see a Aussie car over there sorry my fault
I wonder if the control arm bolts were installed that way for safety. If the nuts come unscrewed, the bolts won't fall out.
The bolts on that upper control arm are put in that way on purpose. If the nut every comes off, the bolt can't come out, and the control arm comes loose. It's a safety control feature.
How are you so patient and calm with these cars I would’ve lost my mind and sold them all 😂😂 you have to teach me your patience technique 😂😂
Fr! Patience of a saint
I can't wait to see you and M539 Restorations do a build together.
I enjoy these longer videos more than a short one. I like to see the progress and results in one video. Keep it up!
Rasmus, you’re obviously not married. The short videos are better for not having a cranky wife. Lol
Great video Alex! I’m really loving the Alex/Peter/Max show. The 3 of you on screen together are great! Keep up the good work!
Great video Alex - good to see you and the team working together. Doing car stuff with others is way more fun !!
Alex, another great video. You need Peter to be full time part of the team. Is a cool guym
Can’t wait to see what the CL will do once you’re done!
Another great video!
The team is awesome Alex! Great stuff!
Every time i watch your channel i THANK MY LUCKY STARS that i wisely sold my Mercedes Cl it was the biggest love/hate relationship i ever had with a car!
Alex, after watching you use it for many videos, I finally got a Milwaukee electric ratchet. Game-changer! So useful!
So stoked you and Sreten are friends, y'all are my two fave channels!
I've said it before, FCP Euro is awesome AND their UA-cam channel is fun too, loved their Volvo 850 build and the cayenne...
Wow!! the tool cabinet is very nice & well built !! The Caprice's cam is pure music !! and btw when you're ready to sell it let me know !!!
Man, I could watch the LSC livestream all day you guys just working. I'm happy someone with the rights chemistry joined the crew. "(Keys" needed an oil change anyway" 😂
i would recommend changing the headlights on the ML to the newer model (2003-2005) headlights with projectors. this way you can install LEDs or Xenon lights, plus it looks much better than the ones it currently has.
change the rad, the upper intake house, the coolant expansion tank. those are the three weak points and not if but WILL go. best to just to do all of them at once. The hose and expansion tank are cheap.
Thank you so much Alex For the ML segment..... I've been having problems with my front end on my Ml for quite some time ,and knowing where to get these Suspension parts With better than Oem Quality at A fraction of the price has been a real pain in the ass For me to find...love your Channel
Just solid work Alex! This is the meat and potatoes man, comfort food for motor heads. Well done.
Sorry but so happy you has the p/s leak on the ML. My 00 ML55 has the exact issue. This is what I needed to get the job done. Now waiting for you’re rear main video 😁. Love the vids,
Nice day-in-the-life of a wrench turner video. 😉 It's noble work to keep these old rides on the road and rescued from the crusher. 👍🔧🚘👨🔧 Thanks for the always interesting content, Alex, Max and Peter!
Other youtubers have sponsors like Hello fresh, nord vpn, raycon, ect. LSC has a sponsor that most people watching can't afford. Good Job!!
You have gotten a TON of use out of the Peter that came with that Magnuson supercharger kit.
Yeah, when do the batteries need replacing....🤣
Hey u r definitely doing a phenomenal job on ur video....keep up what u r doing now don't change anything u r definitely giving us more than great info....
Great video! Thanks for cool content and you got most all your rigs fixed!
Cool!! Love the new Toolstation!!! I might “monster” my ML 270,CDI. Once it comes back from the auto electrician!! Can’t wait to see what the CL puts out on the dyno!!!
Upper arm bolts are put on like that from factory as so if in future the bolts loosen or back themselves out due to lack of maintenance for example the arm doesn’t detach itself from the body of the vehicle and cause you to crash because the suspension damper is in their way, reversing the bolts takes away this deliberate engineers built in safety feature. Just an FIY
Came for the ML, good to see you've still got it!
I really like the transcript that you guys added.
Alex. The Holden Caprice is a luxury car here in Australia. You should see about getting an Aussie dash and door cards. Let alone leather seats with dvd screens in the headrests. Let me know if you want some pics. Have a mate at work who has one.
I love every episode you have your Aussie built Holden (Chevy) Caprice on
That Sonic setup up is top shelf!
Alex, I can't wait for you to give the CL65 the LSC paint correction and ceramic coat treatment. Dream car!
I love the ML looking forward to see off reading on it
The Sonic system seems REALLY nice !! 👌
The CL is a beautiful car and I love the V12, but once the radiator is in I would sell it as fast as I could before the next thing breaks. That radiator cost is really reasonable. A factory replacement for my Envoy with the 5.3 LS is $285. Fortunately, unlike the CL63 used radiators are readily available in wrecking yards.
If only I can get my e34 going soon but I’ve been waiting 2 weeks for my cylinder head. Also I saw your caprice driving somewhere in Schaumburg one of those days while I was working couple weeks ago. I was in an f150
With you being from Chicago & driving a cop car, I’m naming it the “Blues Brothers 2022”! It has some awesome power!!
Damn Alex the caprice is a beast! 😯 Peter is a hoot! Nothing like a good burnout! Like the ML!
Fun video Alex Thanks !
My dad is a snap on fan boy. Luckily now I have my own home he past down his whole toll set for me.
So I'm all set full snap on everything for free. I'm super lucky.
But man seeing these Sonic tools I might be getting the pre configured corner tool kit.
13k is such a good deal.
Compared to snap on something similar would be 40k to 50k
I'm must say I'm addicted to your content. Great stuff.
I just bought a 09 MB R320 BLUETEC 4MATIC with 175km. So far so good .
Thanks Mort!
Mine have 330.000km and 299.000km. Been following this channel for years, doing all the repairs done on here at home.
I'm hoping for around 400,000km with proper maintenance
Just keep an eye on your modules. Specifically the rear SAM module on those MLs. They put them where the rear wheels splash water by the main battery and can become partially submerged. Thus fried module; battery drains, tail light issues, door actuator malfunctions etc.
I see you guys are in KMs so assuming Canadian and spring time slush/slop can create these problems
Enjoy!
@@dimitrig3739 thanks for sharing that. I'll keep an eye out for those signs. Cheers.
May be worth looking into if there are longer upper control arms for the ML, will sort the camber and also reduce the camber change during suspension travel
If you hold the left side scroll/click wheel on the steering wheel down while you crank the Caprice PPV it starts in engineering mode and lets you view battery voltage and charge status(coolant temp, Transmission temp etc…) in the dash info screen!
Alex I love your humor and this channel!!!
I appreciate your step by step by step by step by step by etc.. Awesome content
I've been loving your content as of late. Keep it up!
Thanks Kyle!
Chicago off-roading is XTreme, I for sure need to bring my Jeep up there!
Real world maintenance issues. Now I have to tackle the steering rack on my Subaru. Thanks for making.
Mighty Car Mods better watch out for this up and coming off road UA-cam channel
39min video,nice going to get popcorn and beer to watch it 👍👍
Can't wait for the next cl65 video
Awesome video!!! Thank you!!!
Stunning content.
Common issue on the c215 and w220 that the radiator breaks on the lower part of the connector. (Plastic …)
I really like your garage, it is clean! I need to clean my garage so it will look more presentable on my UA-cam videos.
Love to see the ML back in some videos.
😁😁😁😁 Hey ALEX please put few recessed outlets in that strip on your new toolbox you can tell it was made for it 😎😎
That V12 AmG is a geam....but you almost replace everything on it! Only for UA-cam content cus other normal owner already dump it into the trash bin....keep up and don't gave up on it because is an amazing car!
The caprice is my fav out of your fleet 😍
Kiddos got to love the doors in the ppv. Good to see the ppv get some ❤️.
You need to run it at the trak with escalade. Did you add 3.27 gears yet ?
Power steering issues are bad. Yuck.
The o ring on the rad leak is common I think on wagon.
Be safe team.
As usual awesome content Alex, I sure love the Malibu it sounds so good, me not being a ml kid of guy yours looks good great job guys keep it up. As always be safe 👍
I'm loving Peter in your vids! he brings in sthg from that "mad scientist" ambience.....
oh reminds me of the "wizard" on hoovie's channel
We *need* more Peter content. I’m writing this on behalf of all 693k subscribers. 🤣🤣🤣
I love those caprice ppvs it's currently the next car I'm setting my eyes on. For the money it's a lot if car.
WOW that sonic cabinet is INSANE!! 😍
I'm digging that Caprice!
Nice work! Greetings from Stockholm Sweden.
35:45 to be honest with the matt Black Wheels the rusty bolts kinda Looks cool that way
Unless you going to Remove, Wuy not just keep them like This, Maybye it's my upinion Only but I think it suits this cus it's a off road vehicle
Everyone loves a start to finish project but some good old general maintenance is cathartic.
Really like Peter. Good vid 👍
Hi Alex. Where did you say the Chevy Caprice police car was made? Good old Aussie ingenuity. Lloyd
Gotta love GM putting the alternator on the bottom. Real genius
what size shop is that love the layout and love the caprice videos looking at buying a 2014 one
Music to my ears LS sounds like birds chirping at dawn. All though I own a SS I would love to have that Caprice. Been some time to see you wrench on that car.
Every time I see your Caprice it makes me want to buy one.
I think a Taurus would be cheaper to insure though. :)
You can find some pursuit Ford Taurus Interceptors with the EcoBoost motor. Tune it and you get insane power for cheap... Just change the water pump for peace of mind.
Yo Alex: Loved your video of Supercharging your wife's engine and surprising her! Her reaction was priceless. So since you know tons about cars, I am looking for a (NOT in the tank, continuous running, going to run diesel, 120 to 150 PSI fuel pump! Oh 12 to 24 volt. I have a pic of a guy that uses two of them, uses a speed control box to control the flow, if I can send to you! I hope they are not like much $$$$ from a Benz or Exotic car. Can you recommend something. I will show you what it's for later, will freak you out! LOL THX Dave
Yea this is exactly what I wanna see from you Alex!
Great - I really enjoyed it.
Just did inner and outer tie rods on my ml500. Damn glad my rack wasn’t leaking!
You're going to need lockers if you plan on climbing curbs in Jeff Park. Don't forget to book a lane at Byron. You can have viewer cars there too and make awesome content out of it.
Alex, you should do a wheel stud conversion on the ML. Would be a good video segment.
24:20 The reason the bolts are put that way is for security reasons, if the nut get off it will not pop out before you notice it and save you on a crash.
