    I appreciate you are a very good teacher that's one of the number one things to be in a good teacher is being visibly out of the way so you can see what you're working on and you do that thank you

    I have a Hyundai Santa Fe I was wondering can a bad ball joint ruin the transmission in any way from all the moving around. I'm talking about the kind of ball joint that causes your tire to wander harshly. Thank you for your reply I really like your videos man you have helped me so much. Always straight forward and to the point. And with a little humor too LOL thanks brother

    Hello

    I have a Hyundai santa fe from 2001, the videos are very helpful, but I can't understand everything (I'm from Poland).

    I have a big request, could you please add subtitles to the videos (then I would understand a lot more)

    regards

    Well done 👏 ✔ 👍

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dog Man says:

    Nice, helpful video. But shouldn’t the arm be in road position before tightening the front bushing through bolt? Otherwise the bushing is operating in a twisted condition which hastens its demise.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Barry Shaw says:

    I guess u don't have to load up the control arm before tightening the bolts

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ian Newhall says:

    rewatching the old vids.. this happened to me with a steering knuckle. somehow the wheel bearing bolt holes didnt line up

    I take it the tornado didn't sweep you away? Sounded like tornado sirens in the background lol.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nick Smith says:

    Question: did you tighten the CA bolts before or after you put the tires back on and let it down? Did I have a blank-stare moment during that little detail or something ?

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars César Siqueiros says:

    Where did you get that tool to lower the control arm?

    Great tool for the control arm. Is it available to the public if so how much and where.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars D M says:

    Great & simple video, thanks! Not the info I was looking for, but it did give me some insight on other facets of that type of repair. Thanks again for taking the time to make this video!

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Let’s Cook! says:

    I have a 2014 hyundai sonata. I replaced the bearings. I had to take out and apart the lower ball joint. When I put the lower ball joint back in it seems to be in all the way but the ball joint sticks out a little bit and the top and seems to be crooked, but the bolt that secures it goes in. My question is I was wondering if the lower ball joint when put it back together is in all the way?

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars marc benz says:

    Great job on the video, I am starting this project right now, thanks to your tutorial.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars marc benz says:

    Easy to follow, thank you for a great video. I'll be doing this repair as well as new CV axle's next weekend.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian Bauer says:

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Carriage House says:

    Careful pounding on that nut. Hit it a bit off, and you'll bung up the threads on the nut.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Erik Johnson says:

    I really love these "vintage" Eric O. vids. But the "new" direction that seemed to start around 2016 is definitely great. I'm really late to the party on this, but I just wanted to say that the more recent videos are awesome and extremely entertaining. I find myself saying "son of a monkey" a lot these days 🙂

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kenneth Eady says:

    Thars was great! Thanks. On the same car H Sante fe. Anything on the tailgate hatchback handle replacement. Cant find a thing on it.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris The Other says:

    Perfect, thanks.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Adrian B. says:

    Looks like he is replacing OEM parts with cheap crap. If the new part does not align with the original why not replace it with the right stuff instead of forcing the bolts in the place? I just wonder how the alignment of that vehicle will come if you force the control arm in place…I will never follow this advice

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike M says:

    Perfect video. Am I looking at the same setup on my 2009 Santa Fe? Thx!
