Owner of this self-propelled colostomy bag can afford to pay Ray to install shocks (ordinarily a job just about anyone can do in their driveway), but can’t afford decent tires? SMDH.
Ray, I was only able to get a very quick glance at the date code on those tires and it appears they are from 2012. Which makes them 11 years old. They are beyond the time to be replaced. You should really try and talk that customer into getting new tires.
The Ford twin I Beam suspension: one of the dumber ideas of the ultra intelligent ford engineering marvels
A little rubber cement will fix that tire right up… Lol, no, not really. I'd put the spare on if available and let the owner know he needs a new tire. That's 1 pothole away from a blown tire.
Please be sure to wear proper eye protection when grinding or cutting. Great work!
You put into text two statements you probably should avoid in the future. Lawsuits are real and you damn sure don't want to help out the ambulance chasers. Just make the video and do not explain the procedure.
How old were those front tires? Original tires?Their born on date.
I was following behind a Ford E350 dually van today. Did they ever come from the factory that way or someones project?
Kinda odd looking. The front wheels were also dually style rims as I passed so more than just a rear axle swap.
I like you videos, but that being said either you folks from the south don't have torches or simply refuse to use them, lmao.
You have it lucky that you're not in the great white north as a lot of stuff you can un-do will actually un-do. The north gets no reprieve, so it's liquid-wrench on a daily basis.
Dicking with that L/Side shock for that long is just nuts. Use a bloody torch, dude. And have a hose handy!
As another thought since your stud and nuts are in great shape, you could very possibly tighten it and break it off in a single turn – easier than undoing the entire thread, vs any cutting. That sometimes works and always a first option vs the torch in many cases.
that front tyre would result in the vehicle being ordered off the road in most countries (when inspected, or if pulled over) and possibly a ticket for operating in an unsafe condition if pulled over (most cops prefer drivers to get these fixed immediately rather than adding extra costs, but if drivers get snooty it can become very expensive, very quickly)
In UK that tyre would get you six point on driving licence, insurance would go up as well next renewal, no horn 3 points, could be done for invalid insurance cover since they might not cover liability (clause in all insurance to maintain in legal condition and good state of repair). in the event of accident with injury or death, manslaughter charges and driving ban might follow. Civil claims would also bankrupt for life and prison for a long time. Just for the sake of a £150 tyre, silly really, no brainer.
USA different I am guessing ?
@28:00 – those tyres need to be retired so that the van can be re-tyred!
At ford we have a better idea my butt lol ive done this job too and there isnt an easy way to do it that i found other than not do it lol im a va state inspector and tires brakes and front end im anal about. Ive been in soooooo many heated conversations about tires dry rotten and still good tread. They not safe when crack look like canyon and can see innards.
Shoulda used the old gas axe mate, lol
Whats the date code on the tires?
The tires are clearly too old by the looks of the sidewalls. Beside the big chunk out of one. Yes that van shouldn't be driven far or fast at all not untill it gets some new rubber and the torsion bar looks like it missing some rubber bushings.
The system should be looked ovef real close. It would not pass inspection here where im at.
An Auto Tech has the right to refuse to work on a customers car/truck. With the tires in this bad of shape I refuse until the customer got some good tires. My luck, or lack of, the customer will pick the van up, pull out of your yard and blow out that tire killing a school bus full of kids.
Like the strap release. good practice on everything, any loads.
GOOD JOB RAY
FORDS ARE JUNK FOR A REASON// HAD A 1979 GRANDA CARBOTOR WOULD CATCH ON FIRE ALL THE TIME THE ONLY WAY TO START IT WAS WITH STARTING FLUID///KEPT A RAG TO PUT THE FIRE RAN FINE//THAN SHUT OFF USE STARTER FLUID AGAIN WHAT A P O #$@!$!#$@$ IT WAS//
Cannot believe you let that tyre out of your shop on this vehicle, maybe the owner does not care but if it blows and he kills innocent people !! It’s just not right.
I too am too old to be metric.
351 ci not 350ci.
Love that "Gravity!"
How about a torch? Would have taken about 5 seconds to cut the shock strut. Blue flame, always good!
@6:13 it is kind of freaky to see the front coil spring just swinging in the breeze.
Tire looks like it's dry rotting
So how did shock absorbers get their name since they don't absorb shock? The springs absorb the shock of sudden movement. Shock absorbers are actually motion dampers. In England they are called dampers.
