Learn how to replace the ENTIRE front suspension of your car in this two episode series. First I will show you how to remove the wheel bearing, ball joints, control arms, tie rod, strut, and axle.
The ball joint and wheel bearing has to be pressed out of the knuckle and I have a bunch of tips and tricks to make that easy. The upper control arm ball joint and tie rod can get stuck in the knuckle so I show some tricks on how to easily remove that. The rest of the suspension parts are pretty simple to remove and replace.

Did you guys get notified by YouTube that the video was posted? Also when you watched the video, was there a screen that said "this video was flagged by the YouTube community and may be offensive" or something like that? Just wanted to check because I had issues last night which is why I had to postpone publishing the video. I hope it's all fixed and you guys learn a lot from the video! Stay tuned for the next video and then for a video that, well, covers a life changing event 😉
Also for those asking why I am wondering, here is what happened last night when I went to publish: https://www.instagram.com/p/BwI-VOhFkt2/
Install turbo on mustang
how did you learn that much about cars?
If you cant get your ball joint out of your lower control arm, jack up the suspension ever so slightly from the ball joint itself, and wack the sides of the lower control arm. It’ll release.
Do you have something on replacing that upper ball joint on that control arm? The arm is rust free but that ball joint design looks like a pain to get out of it.
Great presentation Chris. As hobby you should take up filming. The camera shooting is excellent!
Me: cris fix works smart not hard cris fix’s parents have entered the chat: only if you did that In school

Thank You Dad!!
Why couldnt you get a new knuckle

Dude…. I've watched, idk how many videos on YouTube, spanning many different content segments, and I gotta say (after only watching just one video of yours this one). That your ability to speak, to explain, to provide examples of when, why and how, your pace, your voice (yes your voice and how you sound is important in YouTube videos) patience, and how you even considered the thought of someone not owning a power tool and made this video accordingly. I'm not impressed easily at all, but when I am, I give due credit. You have a gift, you'd be a incredible teacher or lawyer best YouTube video I ever watched on ANYTHING sir make this your template in terms of execution cuz you did the damn thing on this one a dumb-ass can change a entire suspension after watching one of YOUR videos lol kudos to you sir
Hey Chris just saw the video, very helpful, I'm in south Africa cape Town, very informative and helpful,
replacing tie rod ends now after watching your video,
Keep Up the good work.
Nice video going to rebuild the front end in my truck relaxing built not bought
Wish I had that impact. I go Neanderthal hand tools. Sucks. I’d have to save for a year for that
Have you done an easy interior detailing video? I couldnt find one and honestly I need it. I buy and sell more cars than i ever thought I would and detailing the exterior is easy enough for me, but I'm tired of paying for interior detailing but I'll also never sell a dirty car. Lol.
I love ChrisFix
Great video now I'm headed to my garage to dismantle my leg and rebuild it
Extremely helpful, thank you so much.
You should get a 350z
Hey, Chris. How do I know which hub bearing specifically to purchase for my car? My 1996 Toyota Corolla is 4 lug and would like to make it 5 lug like this. Do I order the 5 lug hub bearing for a newer model Corolla that is 5 lug?
