Just forgot to show the difference on play between a good and a bad ball joint, another thing help full will be why or show the noise the old ball joint was doing. I have an ISF and they look pretty similar mine is doing a clunky noise at low speeds and tires are getting worm from the inside. this vide will help a lot to do the job im new but this looks easy. got tools got time thanks for sharing.
Hi bro, thanks for the advice I will try to do in the next video, and my car was not making any noise, the parts are just worn out, but I get the car new and you can feel the difference when it was new and now that it has 100,000 miles. When I go over a bump or a turn or high speed, doesn’t feel the same, that's why I replace many parts, and if the tires have internal wear you have to install figs engineering bushings to fix the problem.
The r1 concept I got where carbon slotted and drilled but I brought it into Lexus they said my rotors where making the most noise but they didn’t really diagnose it we went for a ride down the road with the tech I really appreciate I’m not sure what I want to do quite yet the r1 concept are holding up great it’s weird but when I come to stop it sounds like a frog so I was guessing that was the after market clips
@@jonathanfitch5034 can be many reasons for that noise but let me break it down. 1. If you are driving 20 to 40 mph with out breaking and you hear friction noise A. Rotors are not even B. The pin of the calipers are not working wheel you need to lubricate. C. Dust shield Can be bent. 2. When you get in to a complete stop and you hear noise. A. Bolt can be loose on the caliper B. The clips and the edge of the break pads doesn’t have brake lubricant.
@@jonathanfitch5034 Hi bro, the R1 rotors that you get, is just to replace the ones it comes from factory with the car? And you bought it as a kit with the brake pads? Or you upgrade 380mm rotors GSF and calipers too, like I did, I’m asking so I can give a better answer.
I got the R1 concept kit just rotors and brake pads and factory calibers but the clips are making a little noise when I come to a stop im thinking of switching back to stock I’ve had them on for 11,000 miles there good but just make a little noise
The ball joint separator I got it from Harbor Freight Tools, is more then 10 years old and still in great condition since the tool is generic is not brand it. Or if you are talking about another tool just let me know on what minute appear the tool.
Hello my friend, after you replace front lower ball joint, you don’t need to do alignment, it’s not required for this. I didn’t do it on my car and not issues at all. But if you have bad toe after you replace this parts, what I suspect is that the parts were installed opposite, the parts are very similar from left and right, if this was the case. I’m 100% sure that is why your tires were damaged because change the angle of the steering knuckle, if the parts are aftermarket they are not marked right or left. When you remove one ball joint, you have to compare it with the one you are going to replace. What I would recommend is to check if that was the case. Any other question just comment again and I will do my best to respond right away.
My gs300 started making a squeak noise after I hit a speed bump too hard. The noise only comes from passenger side when there’s a change in suspension/ground level. Could it be this or ball joints?
Is really hard to tell true here, but just check the lower ball joint and the upper control arm, even if the rubber is not damage, but you see a little bit of grease out on any, that would be the bad one, because internally it would have a play already.
what ended up being the problem? i actually have the same issue at the moment, i do suspect i mis matched left and right. was that the cause? if not i will have to take it to the mechanic
