While working on my Odyssey I noticed that the dampers were starting to leak. Leaking dampers aren’t long for this world so I decided to change them. It’s no…

RIP Eric the Car Guy 2013
@ 9:49 Eric uses his torch right next to the fuel filler hose.
Hi Eric, I noticed you use impact tools on these jobs as you mentioned. Do you recommend Mac impact sockets or Snap on impact sockets? I know Snap On has a lifetime warranty but which brand do you use? Which brand is the best investment that will last a long time? Thanks, Marc
How long do suspension parts normally last on a minivan? I have a 2011 Kia Sedona with 55,000 miles and it is getting noisy/bouncy.
How much torque does your 1/2 impact produce?
Thanks Eric, that’s awesome :)
Music can anger the YouTube gods which is why I don’t use it often.
Yes.
Check out the forum post on my website, “Why EricTheCarGuy doesn’t have a Lift”.
Working as ETCG is the best job I’ve ever had, hands down. It’s defiantly renewed my interest in auto repair.
:-)
Eric, I know this has absolutely nothing to do with the video, but I feel like I have to know; do you still enjoy working on cars? In one of your other videos you said it’s not quite as fun when you do it for a living….now, you’re no longer a dealer tech where you’re doing it everyday, so has some of that fun come back? Thanks
so eric when are you gonna get those car lifts u_u.
Good vid. You should put music in conclusion
You need a nickel based anti-seize. Good up to 2400℉.
I have space odyssey the book
I have been told that copper anti-seize is more appropriate for high-temperature applications (like brakes) than silver, but if you look at the packaging, they are usually rated for the same temperature range anyway.
I’m always afraid I’m goin to damage the threads on the studs when I hammer the shocks on. Is this possible Eric or no?
Well, last I checked Odysseys have horrid transmissions as well. Not only did they wear quickly, some could lock up and bring the vehicles to a halt on the highway. Not sure Caravans were that bad, and they are considerably cheaper than an Odyssey.
I have not heard the word dampener used instead of a shock (absorber) in over a dozen plus years.
why not just say shock? would probably help people (easier) that are searching for a replacement video.
also noticed your impact (IR Titanium?) seemed a bit a weak, not getting enough psi? or worn out?
Cool clock 06:16
Oh my….sorry I missed that! Thanks for replying.
I’d rather use PB Blaster or Kroil than an oxy-actelene torch. Risk of fire, and usually it will change the temper- making things very hard & brittle. I’ve seen many fasteners snap under load after being hardened- especially suspension fasteners & points. You must be very experienced when using hi temp. Propane or MOX is usually enough to expand metal to loosen. Please remember, Eric- you got Newbees here too.
It wouldn’t make editing easier.
They both work the same. I just use the copper cause it’s handy.
Sold it.
