it looks easy when you have the right tools.

If your wheel bearing is really bad you should just be able to pull the whole tire assembly off in one go

[mendonesiac]

It helps to measure the outer tie rod before removing to get the jam nut in roughly the same location, otherwise you might not be able to make it to the alignment shop

Can you do an video on steering rack bushings and seals? I learned the hard way after replacing everything else. The video would help save others $$$. Thank you for all you do!

Great video as always. I had a 1990 Accord that one day I was parking and when I turned the wheels, I lost the control over the steering, and I couldn't turn one of the wheels. That was super dangerous, and am glad that happened when I was parallel parking, good thing it didn't happened in the highway. My mechanic fix it, but I can't recall what was it. What could it be? A tie rod? How can I never felt play in the steering? Thanks.

When replacing tie rods should you replace inner and outer if only one is bad?

I drive a 96 Chevy hopefully this will help the loose ass steering 😂

[tmoelowg]

So that little bearing that was push forward on the old part of the inner rod was a bad sign right ? It’s not suppose to have that type of room

Super easy! If you have the correct tools, money know how and time.

I got into an accident on the freeway where I slammed down on my breaks and collided with someone and now my steering wheel is extremely loose. Any ideas what it could be specifically? I’d appreciate the help!

Would you recommend using a starter fertilizer separately after seeding or using a mixture of fertilizer Starter mixed with grass seeds that they sell in a bag.

[daniellai]

May I know that if the steering rack is always tighten firmly n do not have any free movements at all???

[kylenajjar]

So I bought new wheel hub assembly and new cv axles. Still have this issue. Any other suggestions? Tie rods and sleeves are new as well.
