For an education?
Call me a nerd, but I love watching these videos. Informative yet
entertaining and straight forward. The internet is full of amazing free
material, and this is one perfect example. Even if I never actually do this
repair, at least now I know what it being done to my car and what to look
out for. Thanks!
Can this be done on a semi?
if I watched all your video- can I be a certified tech? just send the
diploma to my email lol…. I liked how you explained all the steps and how
things may be diff for other cars too
This video is outstanding. Very informative. Thanks so much!!!
very well done!
Job well done Thank You.
Did the replacement part come with the ABS wheel or did you reuse the
existing one…I got to replace my half shaft and I didn’t think about that
when ordering the part. :/
If a guy was going to replace this part and the local shop also quoted
inner and outer tie rods for replacement, is it safe to assume that it
would be a good time to just do everything (CV shaft, I/O tie rods) as the
wheel/hub area will be semi-disassembled already?
does it need an alignment after?
If you don’t touch the tie rod then you shouldn’t have to get an alignment.
Also don’t use an air gun for the lugs to put the tire on that why you’re
missing two.
Damn, i need pontiac. No DAMN I NEED DRIVER’S LICENSE
ok so there is a way to do this without the need to get an alignment …
you can open up the screws on the bottom part of the hub and you lift and
pull up the hub with the suspension, little harder but saves you money 🙂
have done it several times and there was no alignment needed 🙂
It’s a total piece of garbage. We tried to blow the motor but it just
wouldn’t go. The thing really would be scrap right now if I could find the
darn title. – Ben Wojdyla
This was the first significant repair I ever did. Very straight forward on
my first love, my crx
My Cv boot is torn on the passenger side. Not the driver side where the
tranny usually is. Does that mean same procedure? Thanks in advance Ben.
Awesome video.
amazing. i suspect that i have torn boot last night and then this video
popped up. Glad i subscribed.
nice video
Just replaced the cv joints in my daughters car but we are hearing a
grinding noise from the front end. What could this be please? P.S I didn’t
do the replacement. Cheers, Greg.
Why i am here?
Thanks Ben and C/D for this awesome video. Very well shot and informative.
how do I replace the spark plug wires on a 99 miata? all the shops want $50
for it.
I can tell that ride hasn’t been moved in an extremely long time
Yeah, i done it on a shitty clio a few years ago i was just being a dick 😀
Saturday Mechanic, Sunday Trackstar?
I can respect that I mean in our automotive class we have cars that are in
the same condition as that one that go no where that we repair parts on as
a learning experience. These vids will help me out in my career as well.
From a technician in training over here I want to say keep up the good vids

Can u make a video on electric steering…. Is it possible to keep driving
a car without electric steering?
If those checks are coming in, I’m the last to know. – Ben Wojdyla
It really wasn’t too bad with this car. I guess I had a big enough lever. –

why you just did just take off the lower control ball joint nut tap it out
with the tie rod end and move the whole assembly as one I seen my father do
it that way and you don’t need a wheel alignment
