Thank for actually taking the time to show this step by step, no one ever takes the time to do that! This was an amazing video and I feel like I’m ready to do my own diff now, much love dude✌️
I did my plugs and coils with just the wheels removed. It takes patience, esp for the rear ones, but it can be done. I did buy a E10/E12 e-star ratchet wrench which was a big help.
Beru is part of Borg Warner, not Bosch. Also, the new, updated Beru coil packs come with the correct longer bolts (packs look identical to the NGK ones in your video).
I have an 04 Level 3 Coupe. It’s slow with 140hp out of the 2.2l L61. However, put an exhaust on it and it sings to you, like it has its own voice. And despite being a FWD CVT with an open diff and soft suspension, it loves corners. I’ve never experienced understeer in this thing, I’ll never get rid of it.
Hey man, Quick Q. I installed a coolerworx regular (no centering spring) shifter on my e46 M3 and It's pretty hard to get into each gear. Like the effort is much more pronounced. I had a CAE shifter on my other BMW and it wasn't that hard. Is there a way to adjust the effort level? Any thoughts?
This was an awesome video! I was hooked on watching the process from start to finish. I'm the second owner of a beautiful red 2010 Impala LT with the same alloy corrosion at the center of the rims. I know you're in Canada, but I'm in New Jersey. Can you give me some idea as to the average cost to restore all four rims?
Idk if ur still in touch with the owner of this wagon but it seems like u know him on a personal level. Any way you could ask him how he went about cutting his springs I have the exact same wagon mine is a 2005 w203 base model.
Why is it so hard to make them glossy? I have a 2015 Infiniti Q70L. With the optional 20 inch sport wheels. I removed all corrosion and send out any imperfections from the alloy wheel. I purchased hyper silver Rado, Ken spray from Amazon. After restoring one wheel, it does not look anything like the real hyper silver. It’s more of a hyper silver mat finish. Do I need to use a different type of clearcoat to purchase a different high gloss, clear coat in order to achieve a true hyper silver color? Don’t get me wrong. The wheel that I did restore looks great, and you wouldn’t even known that it was restored.
There are 2 ways. 1) Use a thin small wrench. 2) Leave it loose, set the lenght, remove it, and tighten everything up off the car and then re-install it.
Sold the car, but I had zero issues with them. I have installed a number of differnet brand camber arms on a number of vehicles and these voodoo ones are well manufactured, and really good quality for the price.
best video I've found for a diyer and ordered some control arms off the back of this. just wondering as i have just got 4 new tyres and wheel alignment, do i need to go back for another wheel alignment after adjusting camber?
