ChrisFix Second. I was was watching some clips from "pros" who had a professional studio to work in, a model perfect fake shop, a beautiful spotless engine to "work" on for their tutorial, and after their wonderfully presented speech and great body posture and eye contact, I wish I had spent the time watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Likewise some other pro dude swapping out an automatic transmission with a brand new six speed stick shift went through the motions, and filled in the gaps with "figure it out on your own", and "you're SOL"
@@chrisfix I have a question, why are the rear shocks on a truck or any solid axle vehicle on opposite sides, one is on the back right and the other is in front of the axle on the front left... 4:45
That's what set you way above the other you-toubers. Good looking out for the viewers. I don't have the urge to skip your videos because they're to the points and short!
As a Auto/diesel Technician 38 years this video is right up there with others I have shown people through the years as what shocks that are bad what they do when compared to a new shock. It also shows how much harder other components work due to bad shocks. Thumbs up to the time to make to video to.
Big Hueso Yeah and the lights don't really do much, but when I had a 97 4 cylinder car I couldn't get up past 35 on the on ramp... Which was annoying.. That and now I see all sorts of people blowing through them..
Hey Chris I love your videos I love working on cars but I don't consider myself a mechanic. Thanks to your videos my 06 civic got shocks, power steering fluid, brake fluid, head cover gasket, and so much more replaced. I watch other Chanel's like Scotty Kilmer and ETCG but your videos explain everything easy to understand and they're not long and boring. Just want to say thanks and keep up the good work. :)
Scotty is a funny guy and very knowledgeable of course, but some of his videos doesn't explain well the process. He goes too quick and I believe he assumes his audience some of the process, therefore he just skipped some steps or just verbally explain them.

Thanks for taking the time to show us the side by side comparison between the old and worn out shocks and the new ones. You still make the best automotive videos on youtube; no one compares to the quality, content, and jam packed information as your videos do :)
What I admire about you chris, is that most big RU-vidrs (not including you) do not pay attention to the comment section. I believe it is a very vital part of keeping and maintaining a good RU-vid community. You in the other hand do the opposit. I notice you will still pay attention to the older videos constantly and see what valued viewers have to say. Keep up the superior work Chris!
You are the best. I just called over my son to show him this video. He is taking up engineering in school and wanted him to understand the vibration/dampening in action. When he saw this video he said, oh I know this guy (Chris Fix), he is really good. I said I know. Thanks for all your videos. Has saved me money with doing my own repairs. For example, I do most repairs myself but didn't want to take any chances with the brakes (fear of the unknown). Seeing your videos gave me the confidence to do it myself. Peace!
Your videos are incredible man. I truly mean this when I say this, please, keep this up. Not only is this educational, but also pretty entertaining! Keep up the good work!!!
Your videos are the highest quality on here. I'm a tech myself and enjoy watching automotive-related videos. The content and narration are top notch! Thanks for all you do Chris.
A very well made video! I'm not particularly interested in cars per say however your production is very focused on what you're trying to show and is why I subscribed.
Thank you Chrisfix! I think about this video whenever I drive over any kind bump or dip on the road and think, "what if something breaks that chisfix hasn't covered?!" lol. I love this channel
Nice video, and educational. It also illustrates how much automotive technology is taken for granted. There's nothing like seeing things work in real life to make you appreciate them.
+Gary Hatch Thanks a lot! I had to put my phone away when I was filming and live streaming the footage because I really wanted to see what was going on as the camera recorded and I drove lol.
Damn it's crazy how much a coat of black paint changes the way the suspension looks. Great video and interesting to see the movement especially the drivetrain twist.
+TestECull id make 2 or 3 YT videos for a set of stock replacement shocks from any brand....free is free and i don't race my pickup, it's just daily transportation
Man what you call a bumpy road I'd call pretty damn smooth. Thanks for the video. Now I know how badly my car feels it when I hit an unpainted speed bump by accident
I have a 95 Ranger, and it's basically the same truck, i feel so lucky because I am learning a lot more about my truck so far, i hope you keep doing videos like that. Thanks bro.
Chris idk if your reading this man but your doing great work I watch you video religiously you teach me alot as a begginer car enthusiasts and now I'm a mechanic at a performance shop working on rotary engines I love your videos I love your mustang keep it up chris
+ChrisFix your awesome haha...im guessing your making videos to fund more videos.. you have awesome content super detailed and gives alot of great info THANKS
+WoWkiddymage i love how you incorporate new points of view... by putting a camera under the car to show how much the shocks actaully do for your car... and same with other videos, from clean vs old coolant, taking apart of old filter, and especially the side by side comparison of the filters of flow testing... all this work you put into videos shows man... again awesome vids
Great video! In addition, i suggest you add a small leaf to stiffen the leaf pack to get rid of that axle wrap. I had put a set of very light duty add-a-leaf to my tacoma and it took care of the axle wrap as you pointed out in the video. But that's just a suggestion, since it did stiffen the rear end up a bit.. But if you're after more control, that would be beneficial. I got no lift out of it, but surely more control.

I now realize ... this is all shot in diferent times.. e.g. showing both old and new shocks at the same time must have been in the middle of your build. and then cuts to where you remove the tire but then the shock is still at the car. e.g you show us what happens without shocks... but there you allready painted the diff. that means you knew in the beginning of the vid that you will need that shot and camera angle. Also you talk smooth over in just one take... thats just amazing. Its so seamless... the script and the editing is way beyond what some one normaly would expect. Great Job!
I don't get why everyone is hyped to see a GTR it's everywhere... and not to mention it would have been better if you could put all attention to Chris when he's explaining what the shocks are doing in various conditions....
My dad always says that a good suspension allows you to go faster even with a stock engine. I admire him so much because that tip help me alot in the race track
Really interesting videos.. didnt think about it till now. Thanks Chris Fix.. pls upload mire videos on car repairing in emergency situations of breakdown.
I mean what's the point when the video is about the car and not the person? Although it is rather interesting that some of us just HAVE to see "the man behind the camera", as if it's eating us on the inside lol.
OMG, now I can't undo watching this..., and now, I'm forced to imagine my car's inferior part from the back every single time I drive. R.I.P my old empty memory.
Thanks, Chris, for showing how important shocks are in this video. 2013 Fusion Energi with 225,000 miles and not a single worn suspension part because the shocks/struts have been replaced when due!!!
the air suspension on my dads lincoln went out... and we were on the road, it was so uncomfortable, felt worse than being on a wooden roller coaster lol
Man, it just hit me. Back in ‘96 I was listening to Car Talk on the radio - you know, Klick & Clack. I just realized that I now watch Chrisfix, and it’s in the same league and just as original. This is a great thing! Ok, back to the see how the suspension does with those shocks...
It was 14 years old so, regardless of what country he was in, it was overdue for a change. MOT is bollocks anyway. They'll give MOT certificates to cut and shuts. The welded killers.
Excellent work, currently trying to work out some shock / leaf spring issues with my truck. this video gives me a great example of what is going on under my vehicle.
