In this video I bring you along as I throw a few tires on a 2019 Ford Flex and get it realigned to go straight down the road. Easy Peasy! -Enjoy!

I've slotted out the strut mounts a few time to adjust camber and caster.
what did you spray on the wheel and hub
dam that last u turn, almost fell out of my chair
love the music
You a great job love your YouTube channel
Off topic a bit. Hang on to your 1025 Balancer. Good balancers.
i wish my garage took the time and care to go into the detail you have gone to here. I'd visit your shop any time! Great work. Good to see people with passion working on these cars!
Man your tire machines are night and day more quiet then the ones I have, may have to invest in some of those haha the automated hunter machine is 100% a game changer for low profiles does it all for you haha
Why didn't you align the Ford cap to the valve stem?
More alignment videos…fascinating stuff. Maybe something with shims
How much for the Hat ?
Last time I had my 235 40 18 tires changed they bent my rims, all 4. They said it was more difficult to change them. Seems in my younger years working in a shop I never had problems with low profile tires. Clearly you can change them in your sleep. Nice work. I do not know why I enjoy every video you make. Probably it’s your engaging personality and your impeccable integrity.
A guy came in with a Mercedes for a alignment yesterday told him to get the hell outta here 🍆
I do alignments all day im ready to retire after 30 yrs and michigan even so i know about the rust an tons of brake lines
As you're doing the tires I was thinking somebody should say something about the difference between the posted tire pressure on the tire versus the one for the manufacturer. I've seen many cars come in with maxed out tire pressure and the tread in the middle of the tire being completely gone. These are not bicycles people
Took me 3 years of having my car to realize how many wheel weights are scattered around one of my rims. There’s at least 15
SMASMR
Them green gloves 🙊🙉🙈
2019 and ford doesn’t have auto learning tpms sensor…..?????? that was my 04 Jeep……
depending on how many cameras Mr. O has would greatly vary just how much effort he made to give all the different camera angles and editing involved; regardless, another great SMA video!
I am sick of these scumbag tire places that ugga dugga your tires on and call it a day. It is refreshing to know that there isn't lazy a holes out there that will clean your hub and actually use a torque wrench. Kudos to you sir.
when your tire needs more than air. love seeing my grandfathers phrase on that tech cabinet he came up with that phrase at Tech in the 60s
You must get plenty of iron and aluminum in your diet!
Rims stuck – check. I usually have the rims FILLED with caked in dirt. Car bounce around just because of dirt on rims
I remember when SMA didn't have alignment equipment. I think they've upgraded their tire machine too? It all means better service for the customer. It's oddly satisfying to see the big boss doing Josh's job. 😁
The car needs tyres after only 18 months? must be really rough on tyres or they are really poor quality like firestone or bridgestone. Also when puting new tyres on make sure the size is the exactly the same as OEM and has the same speed rating and load rating.
Knew there was no way Eric could stay quiet for an entire video. LOL Great job!
Just live your video’s very informative
lol dont hit the rim..or anything else. ..look at that courtesy fluidfilm application. or mabe you just doing yourself a service so you dont have to potentially destroy the car with the sledge hammer next time LOL …oo im not familiar with that adhesive removal bit you used. nice touch; doesnt damage the paint. …fills up faster if you take the valve core out? …that's ferd quality for ya out of alignment after a year or two lol …
road trip!
Its soothing to watch the manual process of tire changing after working with an automated machine for the last 3 years at my shop.
You applied the Fluid Film incorrectly…🐑🐑🐑
We have to sledge hammer tires in Michigan also! Our F-450 and F-550's are a extra treat .
You know when you were (fist) pounding that rear wheel in the beginning, it kinda sounded like the drum solo opening for “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”……(Think “2001 Space Odyssey” soundtrack.)
You bring the best content meaning to or not, rock on Eric O
I wish all places cleaned the wheels as you did
Eric. 2 ways to get into tire training mode on Ford's. Tire rotation/new tires way is turn hazard on and off 3 times. To train a new sensor, ign on, brake, ign on off 3 times, brake, ign on off 3 times
I live in the Midwest of USA. I was changing brakes on a van. The one wheel so stuck , I had lower van and let the weight of the van break the wheel loose.
like the flat rate mater music lmao
this was a very asmr style video
Another very informative video – love the comments and great video quality.
I know I'm late to the video but what was the the wheel you used for the stick weight glue and the rim weight tool
Road test you always go pass the Dollar General, stop in and get ice cream.
I HATE FCUK around with Alignments
especially if Adjustment Plates Seized !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow what a great example of caring for the little things. This is how I treat my things and wish that there were more Erics in the world.
Amazing how far out that alignment was, and what you had to go thru to get the wheel sensors to relearn. It shouldn’t have to be that way. My 2016 KIA Sorento self learns within a mile or two with a few turns, what sensor/wheel is where on the car. According to rh white paper I read, it does this using the traction control that includes import from the steering angle, and antilock brake computers, to determine which sensors is on what corner of the car. I’m more impressed with it each time I see what another manufacturer has resorted to to accomplish the same thing.
Another great video, miss seeing soldering and using the solder sucker though !!
I was wondering why this car was so far out of alignment myself. Talking with the customer they had to return the car to the local Ford dealer to have a new rear differential installed under warranty. Ford told them that the alignment was not part of the warranty repair. Mystery solved!
