He is asking for rear and front bushings $1800 parts and labor. I only hear clunk on the front. Anyways, he said parts alone are 800 dollars... Am I being ripped?

Here's a tip. Find a performance or custom car garage. They usually do absolutely everything in one place. I find they often take the most pride in their work, and are not just trying to get cars in and out as quickly as possible. If you don't know where, ask someone with a nice custom car next time you're at a gas station or something where they get their work done.

@@alpalmer8155 It's a pain on that car. It's located on the drivers side of the engine. You will need to remove the air intake and tie aside the hoses to get to it. Once the intake is removed you will see it poking out. It really can be a pain of a job tho as I said. Maybe best to have a mechanic do it. My best advice, get rid of the ecoboost, and buy another car. Those Ford 1.6 are notoriously terrible.

@scottykilmer 12 лет назад

ball joints and a frame bushings can clunk, but can be hard to test as they often won't make noise and have play unless the weight of the vehicle is on them

@25447carepear 3 года назад

Scotty. Just wanna let you know how loved you are sir. Thank you for sharing what you. You really don't know how you're helping people out here. Glad you enjoy what you do

@dunebasher1971 5 лет назад

It may have been mentioned, but before the front and rear bolts for the new arm are tightened, you should put your jack under the ball joint and jack the suspension up until the car *just* begins to lift off the jackstands (yes, this is an actual factory recommended procedure). That way, you've got the suspension back to normal ride height before you torque the fasteners. If you don't do this, there is a real possibility of the bushings failing prematurely, as they will be put into a bind as soon as the weight of the vehicle is on them.

@MrSoulMonk 2 года назад

I had to do just that on my 2010 Legacy. The car has body cladding making it impossible to do anything if the wheel is on the ground. I tried the ramps but there was not much clearance to turn the wrench. I ended up removing the wheel, putting the car on a jackstand, loading the suspension by jacking up the control arm under the ball joint until the car lifted off the jack stand ever so slightly (about 2 mm off the jack stand as noticed toward the front of the jack stand support plate). I tightened the front bushing. I hope this did the trick and the bushing is properly loaded because I don't want to replace them anytime soon.

tighten the fan belt on the power steering or replace it. Tapping can be many things, jack it up and pull off the wheels on the area that is making the noise and check for worn parts.

depends on the design. Some have adjustable nuts at the end of the lever inside the car, like VWs. Some have an adjustment bolt at the back of the car under the middle where you tighten the bolt to make it tighter

either you got a wrong size ball joint, or you have to push it up further to get in place to bolt on (I use a jack under it to push it up in such cases.) Realize many cheap aftermarket parts are often the wrong size if made in china

In '76, I bought a '75 Chevy Monza from a Chevy Dealer. The car had 12K miles on it and looked brand new. After a couple of weeks, I heard a clunking sound whenever I stopped. I checked the suspension and everything looked fine but I did notice overspray under the hood. I suspect the car had been in a collision.. After 3 years, a friend of mine wanted to trade my Moza for his '68 Vette with a blown engine. We nade the trade but I warned him of the clunk. Eventually, the doors got harder to open so he lifted the car and discovered the subframe was separating from the body.

Sure, it took a few days to complete, but it wasn't particularly hard. Granted, having proper tools made it a breeze. I remember doing the alternator in my '02 MPV a couple of years ago, and that was a real pain. Had to take apart the passenger side wheel well just to get to the damn part. What should have been a 5 or so hour job, at most, turned into a two day job with help from multiple people.

thank you so much Scotty!!! I thought for sure I would be in trouble until i saw this!

Hi Scotty Thanks for doing these videos. They really help out a lot. I have a truck with a clunk. After viewing your video I check the suspension and driveshafts. There doesn't seem to be any play, but it still clunks when I let off the gas, and the trans downshifts. Brought it to the dealer, and they said everything is in spec.. I'm not sure what to do. It's annoying and I need to get it fixed. Truck is still under warranty.

I'm always happy to see a new Scotty Kilmer video.

you can always try two hammers, one on each side, but sometimes they just stick too hard. I would have the alignment checked afterwards with a link kit

after servicing rock arm pinion and reattaching it I now have vsc, check engine light, traction control and the steering is very hard, do you have any idea what's wrong

@scottykilmer 12 лет назад

it sat 16 years in a garage, now it doesn't smoke when I was done. I liked the smoke for the intro, added a vintage element

Question My vehicles making the same Noises but after I inspected it my outer tire rod is leaking do you think that’s my issue or I need to change the lower control arm to?

@Tha_Predator 6 лет назад

So if I’m getting these sounds clunking and the play in the wheel what exactly do I need to replace .. I see upper lower and just a part called control arm which one do I buy .. lower or upper or both ??

Anything special about doing this on a 2014 Ford Fusion hybrid? I’ve seen in other videos (not the fusions tho) you have to put the suspension under pressure with a jack to remove it. Doesn’t seem to be the case in this video or the fusions?

@olivia6089 6 лет назад
