Your video was AMAZING. It was very throughly explained. But what really made the video above and beyond supero was how you made the briefs step by step walkthrough of what “we had done”. I loved it. I’m about to do this on my Pontiac GrandAm 2004. Thanks!

Hey Jim, awesome video about how to change the inner and outer tie rod. Keep posting such incredible videos. Thanks for posting such amazing videos.

This channel always has solid and useful info, no BS, straight to the point, and especially like the positive tone which is always there. This was the only video I could find on crimping the washer on the inner tie rod end (and I watched probably a half dozen of OK sources) - Jim showed it & explained it very well. Also kudos for giving options on how you can tackle tasks with handtools vs powertools. Thanks, tie rod ends replaced successfully! Jim the car guy <<<<👍👍👍

Last time, when I found my 04 Accord's power steering was hard to move during the winter morning at the first cold start, I watched your video of changing the o-ring. It took me less than $5 for the new o-ring and 10 minutes to get the job done. No hard steering anymore.


This time, I am lucky that I found your video again for the tie rod replacement. The problem of my accord is the vibration feeding back from the accelerate paddle when the vehicle accelerates above 60 mph. The vibration disappears once the vehicle moving at a constant speed, even at 70 mph. The only thing I found is the inner tie rod boot damage with grease outside. I will follow your video to do the job next week and report the results once I have.


Thanks for your time for sharing this video as well as others. Wish you a wonderful holiday.

Thank you. Used your video and rented tie rod tool from parts store. Very straightforward. I had to reuse my ring on the inner tie rod, for 2010 Honda pilot, no other variances. 1 hour start to finish including set up and clean up and taking my time.

Jim, Great video. Your explanations are clear and thorough. Your recap (at the end) of what you did is great. Keep up the good work! I am impressed.

This is absolutely the best mechanical video I have seen. Thank you!!!

[morwaze]

I've watched at least 7 videos... This is the most helpful so far. Thank you for saving me $300

Using an air gun makes the job a lot easier so go for it! You make it look easy Jim.

[mounir]

Thank you! It's a very professional way.

Excellent explanation. The Best demonstration in the Youtube. Thank you

One of the best described videos of a repair that I've seen. Thanks for sharing your information. I love the prelude describing the diagnosis of the problem (ata 1:35) and then most of the tools that you were going to use (from 1:55 to 2:30), then a quick description of how you will do the work before you actually do it, then you do the work, and then you recap/summarize what you did at the end! Between all those segments you sometimes cover something that was missed in an earlier segment... pretty darn thorough. I am looking to tackle this project on my 2006 Malibu Maxx and I do have a few questions: (1) One of the tools that you didn't really cover, was the one used to remove the "clip/snap ring" at the front of the bellows from 8:45 - 9:35 in the video? It kind of looks like a thick coat hanger with a bent end. (2) At 17:55 to 18:05 you show some kind of stem on the bellows that you say needs to be connected to a hose and at 22:20 you describe this stem as a "vent", but I never saw in the video how that was connected nor how it was removed at 10:35. It just looked like you yanked the belows off without detaching that "vent" without regard for it. (3) At 18:25 to 18:30 there is an inner zip tie that magically appears in the video on the back of the bellows - I think this is the harder of the 2 zip ties to install because it is obscured by the bellows + I think you need to align it over a certain element of the bellows without being able to see exactly whether it is in the right place or not. You have the car jacked up on a pro-lift and I'm sure that is going to be more difficult when I'm lying under the car with 12" of space between the car and the floor!
