In this clip……

horseburger says:

The ball joint is still attached to the car you helmet. What a useless and
pointless video.

MrPoncho2112 says:

yeah and generally when you do you know some shit about cars.

carloslebaron says:

i got tired looking for where to start, Nathan forgot to number his videos
and is hard to follow them. I better check if someone else have the same
proccedure in one long video or in several videos ordained by numbers.

Jerry Pan says:

big help saved me a bundle of money

David Noonan says:

@xspyrle i disagree, but i started out w/o impacts and as long as i turn
wrenches i will never go back.

masm60 says:

I hate Expert Village videos because they break everything down into
multiple segments. They’d be a lot better if they went with a long format.
I don’t need three segments to boil an egg.

01Commenter10 says:

ahh ok, u get that far then the end of the video..?? u really didn’t show
us anything

Delta10666 says:

If it might slip out then why do we use pickle forks to break them loose?

Tom Johnston says:

Thanks for posting this. BTW, just a small point but it’s “worn,” not
“warn.” Best

deepswimer1 says:

great videos but y not 10:00 min. long and less videos

Jacob Estes says:

Firestone may be different, but shops often use a guide (I forget what it’s
called) that gives a labor schedule for different tasks. Then, regardless
of how long it takes they charge by how many hours the book lists. If it’s
quicker, then better for you. That doesn’t mean you aren’t getting screwed
(those labor schedules are debated), but I wouldn’t worry about it.

Snipza says:

I do not trust expert village…

truevy says:

what? so short video, did not finish or simplify

jared zoelzer says:

liquid wrench saves lives.

MrCyclonegt says:

@kevinle692005 idiot

silenceisdefining says:

Spiegel420 says:

ETCG owns these noobs look hime up.

P_MONEY PRODUCTIONS says:

you just fucked up that bolt taking it out like that lol dumb ass! there is
pressure on that ball joint! pry down on the A-arm just a cunt hair to take
out the bolt with out fucking it up.thats why they didnt show the rest lol

jambe1234567 says:

no, it won’t

djbro16 says:

should it take an hour to do this? I had firestone do it and they charged
me 80 bucks for service.

nakedhombre says:

Nate, buddy! A couple of things. Not enough lighting. Also needs some
explanation as to orientation on the car. lastly, WTF, can’t the guy hold
the camera any steadier? use a tripod. shoot it in segments and edit. This
video is poor quality overall. i have looked at aa lot of your videos and
have enjoyed them. you are awesome. i just didn’t get much from this one
because of the lack of planning and lack of quality!

supernaturalmc says:

Finish the job… damn.

djaka401 says:

hi my lower ball joint popped out. i think it was when i jack the car and
had the front tire resting on a spare tire to assure car wouldnt fall while
i was working under it. is there a way to pop back in? or should i change
it? its been making a squeaking noise for a while on and off though

adamshotrod says:

great video, as an apprentice mechanic these videos are a great to
watch…Thanks Nathan!!

Delta10666 says:

@deep – I think it’s basically a step by step and nothing more type of
demonstration. What gets me is why the videos all have the same title with
episode numbers.

LuvMehSi says:

@TheCandiShopp Damn that sucks dude :O

David Noonan says:

1:19 to 2:51 could have been done in a fraction of the time w/ impact. it
is an informative vid

carnypimp . says:

yes it means you are getting screwed. I spent $1,200 on new tie rods, power
steering pump, rack n pinion

xspyrle says:

most ppl do not have the use of a shop or impact tools

TheInfotwins says:

@xspyrle Why not?

MDizzel16 says:

i was told it would cost me 400 dollars to do this
