Great quality visuals; great quality sound; great quality video – everything we've come to expect from ChrisFix.
Very awesome video! I am just wondering where can I find the torque ratings for the bolts on my car or should I just follow whatever torque you applied to mine as well?
Replacing struts was so much fun back when I used to work on cars.
see this guy knows how to do a video without telling us his lifes story. plenty of clear shots plenty of clear instructions
is the torque on the bolts at every car the same?
You deserve your own tv show!
If there's a big knocking sound from the rear right tire every time I hit a small hole, does that mean that the struts are finished?
How many times dose he say struts ?
ho chris. how can I figure out what torc every bolt is tighten to? is there any order about that??
I'll recommend that you turn the nut for the sway bar or you might twist and brake the rubber if it's stuck on the bolt.
I have a 93 ford taurus and a scrap 07 Dodge caliber. would the caliber struts fit on the taurus
love how you do the video editing and audio on your videos very clear and high-definition. your channel is great my friend!! keep em coming
I just have a question, could you also use parts breaker instead of that 3 in one that you are using. Or does PB work a little too well?
Man your videos are so awesome! Do you get hate mail from auto mechanics? LOL
your awesome
