Learn how to replace the ENTIRE front suspension of your car in this two episode series. Here I will show you how to install a brand new wheel bearing, ball joints, control arms, tie rod, strut, and axle.
The ball joint and wheel bearing has to be pressed into the knuckle and I have a bunch of tips and tricks to make that easy. I show how to properly install a tie rod (safely) and get an accurate measurement so you can get the car aligned. I also show you how to properly torque down bolts with bushings so you don't tear them. The rest of the suspension parts are pretty simple to install and then we go for a ride to see how much better the car handles!

Freedom Garage
turbo kit video?
ForrestBob
How's the paint job holding up? I know you've covered it here and there but an in-depth video on wheel well and under carriage de-rusting and painting would be pretty sweet.
Camilo Delgado
Hey Chris I was considering changing my entire suspension and getting everything from A1 Auto Parts. I wanted to get your opinion on whether their parts are worth getting or not. Thanks 🙏🏽
Chuck Loh
Siuch a great production...Takes the time to block sunlight with cardboard so u can actually see what’s going on.

I really would love you to fix my ride Chris... I trust your videos more than my service centres...Lots of love and respect from Ghana 🇬🇭....
Edward Biglang-awa
That moment when you use medium strength thread locker and it smells bad
Dingo Dash
I wish I had a driveway and decent weather where I can work on my cars like Chris does.

I love how chrisfix shows you its not impossible to do it yourself. Honestly the only guy I trust on YT.
freedomfyter
Chris your vids are sickly good 👍
jojo Molar
That is very helpful Bro.
Peter Shinn
Never thought I'd hear you say something wrong. You said "now we're going to compress that snap ring." You're not compressing it, you're stretching it. :)
alien weed
Do the complete rear on the del sol. I need to do all my suspension

Compressing a 6 hour job in less than 30 minutes, epic job.
ChrisFix
Took well over a hundred hours but the result was worth it!
Ernie Lucas
Does any body no anything about ford explore 2004 AWD 4.6 when turning left or right it skip and jumps does anyone now what it is or the person make this video do you no
ChrisFix
It could either be normal if you have larger tires or either you are out of alignment or your cv joint is broken
Marcin Grochowski
Hey Chris, I love your videos. Could you tell me please what kind of gloves do you use? I use nitrile gloves but they tear away all the time.
Anthony Phung
The faded year physically scratch because curtain successively unpack regarding a soft flag. automatic, laughable brazil

Don't forget to pump the brake pedal before driving off...

Now i know ChrisFix has some love for cars.😋

Thank you I am a senior female and I am learning a lot so mechanics dont tell me no stories. I appreciate.

Awesome video Chris, you explained everything so well and in detail.
Aamer Almutawa
When I want to buy a used car I'll make sure its one of Chrisfix's cars, so I have good resouce for fixing it, although I wish if you buy a subaru!
George Wilcox
EXCELLENT instructions!
Willass Maximus
I was really hoping to see a truck suspension because of the torsion bars.
ChrisFix
Everything is the same except with torsion bars need to be replaced. You support the lower control arm with a jack and slowly lower it to "unwind" the torsion bar.
George Oliveira
I am a mechanic in Brazil, and your videos are very informative and help me to be as professional as possible.
Awesome job Chrisfix, keep going!
Eric W
It's Turbo time after 2 years, I am excited
James Pittman
I year later still waiting on the turbo install video.
Shawn Warnick
I got to ask. What in the world did all that cost. Easily 1k right?
Douglas Phillips
I've replaced so many ball joints I just purchased the ball joint press for $ 99. Glad to see you used thread locker & a torque wrench.👍
Victor Ortega
That was awesome
Clown
Still waiting on that turbo kit
Mohammmad ali Ibrahimi
Good👍👌

Great work Chris ! What an amazing video step by step on how to do this , makes a lot of people starting out more confident in doing this on there own now . You’ve mentioned all the little details that can eventually lead to major issues down the line if not done properly. And just the enthusiasm in your tone on what you do just makes your videos much more interesting for the viewers . Literally spent my whole 26 minutes amazed 👍🏻 great job !
EpicAwesomeness123
Been watching you for a while but now I can use this video to good use on my 92 Corolla I just bought with 200k miles as well, Thanks ChrisFix🙏🏽
Samuel Aditya
4:07 doesn't seem sped up and you use impact driver as the thread rotation seem constant.
Garnet Nard
Watching your videos makes me want to buy a junket car and refurbish it and I’ve never even changed my own oil.
ItsUrBoyMert
when is the video released where you install a turbo from ebay?
ItsUrBoyMert
@ChrisFix oh wow what a timing i just rewatched that video and you just replied. I can’t wait for that video
ChrisFix

Sanjay Dx
When are you going to turbo upgrade your honda???,coz I'm waiting for you to do that!!!
Sanjay Dx
@ChrisFix sure bro!! I'm waiting for u to rock !!!! Love from India ❤️💯
ChrisFix
I'll be able to do that once the dynos and tuners can open up again! The virus unfortunately changed around a lot of plans around with regards to turbo/supercharging and a lot of other videos, but I have received some good news about when I'll be able to get that done! Stay tuned!

Hey I have a question. Where can you get a 5 lug hub. Been looking for one can’t find one and saw that you have one here in the video. Also loved the video!
Moatasem hamdoun
My god 😂 that's hard
ChrisFix
It's actually pretty simple once you start to do it!
n30a
Never go in dry lads!
Joseph Hatton
What’s the part number for the 5 lug hubs?
Tivy
What about sway bars and sway bar links?
Tivy
@ChrisFix perfect. Thank you 👨🏻🍳
ChrisFix
Have a seperate video on that here: trdown.info/cycle/jKenpomc3sqShdE/video

Very good job
Lee John

william henderson
My favorite part was when he said he couldn't put the ball joint and wheel bearing in the freezer because, "He'd get in trouble" :-)
K Kafu
2021 still here. Great video. My inspiration!
Major theDog
Who's watching this video in 2021
Rocky R
Soooo, when are you gonna upload of the turbo install?? Been waiting for almost a year or so. It's already 2021 Chrriissss. We want that STUTUTUTUTUUU
Frank M
When installing the hub, shouldnt the press adapter plate touch the inside bearing race?
Kyle Ng
I’ve see that you fill the joint? With “grease gun”? It seems like it filled tho where i send my car to a workshop to install they are flat is that okay?
Kyle Ng
Is it really okay to switch 4 lug wheel hub to 5 lug? Is there anything else that i need to replace other than the hub if i were to change it? Cause I always wanted to run a 5 bolt wheel thanks!
Wendysbruhcanator
This guy makes it look like he’s building a lego
Zach Barnhart
Wow, man.
Viktors Bezrukovs
Big work. Great
Angel C
Did he ever drop that turbo video? Can’t find it..
Gethin Faulkner
Who else thinks he should do a wrc or wrx build?? Like a 207 or Yaris build
Axelle Axl.
Nice vid, I appréciate ! There's no Sway bar on your Delsol ?
ChrisFix
If I remember correctly the SI models got it, but this is the S so not on this one! (for this year, all 94+ got sway bars) I might add one soon with the turbo ;)
Liton Molla
You are great. The best teacher with excellent hands on demo and explanation to the point. Keep up the great work. You exceeded my expectations. Thank you.
ChrisFix
Thanks a lot!
