How to Install a COMPLETELY New Front Suspension in your Car or Truck
Learn how to replace the ENTIRE front suspension of your car in this two episode series. Here I will show you how to install a brand new wheel bearing, ball joints, control arms, tie rod, strut, and axle.
The ball joint and wheel bearing has to be pressed into the knuckle and I have a bunch of tips and tricks to make that easy. I show how to properly install a tie rod (safely) and get an accurate measurement so you can get the car aligned. I also show you how to properly torque down bolts with bushings so you don't tear them. The rest of the suspension parts are pretty simple to install and then we go for a ride to see how much better the car handles!

Cant wait!
ChrisFix bro I have been subscribed since u we’re doing vids bout how loud Corvettes were
ChrisFix what software do you use to edit?
nice
I’ll love it
Can you imagine having ChrisFix as your neighbour? ...doorbell rings "HEY GUY, ChrisFix here, and I need about a cup of sugar to make some medium strength cupcakes"
2dfx 😂
Or just watching through your window as some absolute weapon with a camera is going at it.
lol
Lol😂😂😂
Whish he was so I could borrow some tools from him
What Chris loves: -his family -drifting -cars -soapy wooder -Cooper -blinker fluid -medium strength thread locker
Also soapy water.

That’s true 🤣
Chris you are the MAN!! I have saved $2700 in car repairs by doing it myself watching your videos. You are one of the best car repair instructors on KZhead. My car is running so much smoother and with excellent response. Thank you for taking the time to show the world how to do car repairs the RIGHT WAY!!!
Glad to help and nice work!
ChirsFix, a kind of guy that returns tools in a better condition than when he picked them up. Good guy Chris.
😂I can see the meme now. “Borrows tools, returns them cleaned and polished”
I really enjoy how Chris' wife/mother is presumably totally fine with a driveway full of cars being worked on and a garage full of tools, but bearings in the freezer - thats where they draw the line.
yeah ! when they know how much money he generates from youtube they should more than fine with whatever is happening in that driveway lol
why doesn't this have more likes?
Why?
It's actually his mother lol, but your so right lmfao
@@shepshepson hence why he said wife/mother
The best thing on youtube will be... A Chrisfix Ebay Turbo install video.... I promise you, it'll be the best install video ever!!!

Chris, Your videos have been so helpful. My son is 16 and just bought his first car and we've been working on it and watching your videos for guidance. Thank you for what you do! Your presentation, quality, and content are unmatched on KZhead. The videos are easy to watch and extremely informative. Once again, Thank you.
Thanks a lot! I'm glad the videos have been providing guidance on his car!

Still cant understand who would dislike Chris' videos...
Obviously its mechanics that charge outrageges prices to do this job lol
@@ADGaming-7619 I'm a mechanic and I have no say in how much I get paid for fixing a car. I get paid a set amount of money for each job I do. The other day I spent 3 hours chasing wires and I only got paid an hour of labor. It's the shop who makes all the money lol. Plus most mechanics/technicians love Chrisfix, ETCG, Humble Mechanic, EE, and that one guy who rails lines of coke and sleeps in his trunk. Even the older guys watch these. You can learn a lot even from DYIers
Dislikes came from those who didn't grasp the instructions at first try😀.
ASSHOLES ... ASSHOLES DISLIKE THEM ,THE GUY IS JUST TRYING TO HELP.
haters, who else? lol
Amazing the knowledge that people can gain ...I wondered about how Chris was as a kid...who did he look up to...how was he introduced to mechanics/cars ...and who ultimately fostered that interest turning it into the thing that helps US...the REST of the world!? Kudos to his mentor and kudo's to Chris for having such a generous spirit to share with us!
True. Good observation
Idk if you've already checked this out but his appearance on Graham Stephens' podcast clarifies some more about his story 🤠
I work at a dealership and I started watching your videos when I was a porter at the beginning of 2022.. I’m doing main shop work now on the side and I’ve gotten so much better by watching your videos. Thanks Man !

Thanks for making cars not scary for me. Doing your own work and saving huge amounts of money feels so good. You’re doing a great thing with this channel, Chris.
Nobody: Chrisfix: "Let's put on some medium strength thread locker."

Nice! Now you know the proper way to do it! Luckily you only had to wait a week. Could have been a month!
Most importantly, it does not need sooaaapy waader
ChrisFix oof
I just bought an 08 volvo c30 t5 and the entire suspension needs replaced and both estimates for work was over 3 grand. Nearly half of what I bought the car for. This is pure gold. Got the parts on order since I already had 3/4ths the tools needed for this. Thanks!
Hey Chris! Thanks to your detailed gutting and fresh install of the front suspension, I was able to do mine seamlessly. Your easy to follow guides are phenomenal!

Most of them know of me which is nice and they all rent tools so don’t worry!
@@chrisfix I live in Italy, it's very hard to find a shop that rents their tools here, and it's usually a pretty expensive service. When I was younger I used to buy the most expensive tools together with a close friend, by paying 50-50 and then sharing them while needed.
@Bunda Par Indeed.
The people at my autozone would say, what tf is a bearing installer?
I rewatched part 1 and 2 about 13 times. I can't wait for Rear suspension video
Love the way you make things look so doable for the average person working on their vehicle. Your videos are absolutely my favorite to watch when I am looking to try my hand at replacing something on a car/truck or even just to garner some knowledge for future projects. Thank you for the video!
Who else will not be replacing their suspension anytime soon, and it’s just that chrisfix is god and we must watch every video lolol
Haha, i don't even own a car yet, he's jus good to watch😂😂
Jay McHugh same
Chrisfix got me thinking should i replace my 04 grand am suspension now 😂
I'm rockin a 94 Integra. I've been slowly replacing bits and pieces of my suspension over the last few years. But after watching this I'm thinking I might just do it all at once so it's done right. But Chris always makes it look much easier than it is.
Yes
anyone else find these soothing af?? literally watching this with a drink. confidence that its helpful and true, but also entertaining. Quality content sir.
This is cool thank you! I'm learning from ZERO here. I had to watch it like 6 times to understand the whole thing, I was stuck on the lower arm installation and then I realized those bushings are not shown in the beginning neither the Strut fork. Thanks man!
I have to say this is the most instructive video on car maintenance I have ever seen. Very easy to understand. Thank you.

i would too but in canada we have milk bags
But how tight does he torque it
Hi Chris, like all of your DIY videos, this one is just as amazing! I just recently aquired a 2005 Saturn Ion 2, Pacific Blue, 4 door coupe, with 5 speed manual transmission with over 214,000 miles, in desperate need of having its loose front end steering suspesion replaced. I have a realatively good idea of the time and the work needed to get the job done, and you shared several valuable tips on making it that much more easier. Thank you for being such an inspiration to all and your care and attention to detail. Great work on your step-by-step detailed explaination and excellent video editing. Your videos and your sense of humor make your videos so much fun to watch! Thank you!
Thanks a lot! Good luck with the car!
Chris is like the Mechanic God or Guru his videos taught me how to do body work patching holes, and rust sanding, I just learned how to change inner and outer tie rods now I'm learning how to redo my entire front suspension this is great stuff
You're the man Chris. Your videos helped me fix my car, then my families cars and now I work in an actual shop making $18 an hour and I haven't even got any ASE certs. Your videos videos made it look easy, so I tried. Sure enough I could do it and I enjoy doing it! Thanks man.

I've got new suspension for my C4 Corvette coming in soon. I'm gonna be watching this over and over in preparation. Your channel is my favorite resource for working on cars and I always reference your videos before starting work. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to do all these things! EDIT: I also remember watching this video many times before working on my Crown Vic's suspension as well!
Man I miss my vic. How did it go?
A natural talent for teaching and also editing! I can’t even imagine how long these videos take to put together. I’m about to tackle my second full front end suspension install. The only reason I was ever comfortable doing it at all is because of ChrisFix! You’re the best! Thanks for being the best!

Never let the axle go in dry.
Always nice to watch someone who loves what they do
My favorite part is “I’d get in trouble for that” under his breath so relatable you are my favorite KZheadr weather it was ur mom or ur wife I feel u bro, ur videos are the BEST, you’re a real one

This is one of the best videos I've seen explaining how a car is put together. I've always enjoyed learning how cars work and watching a suspension system installed really shows how steering and drive power make sense. I wish I could play around with cars and learn hands on, but I don't have the resources or space. Loved this video!

@@R.E.HILL_ Maybe you should make a KZhead channel...I haven't checked, but if you make videos on how to do the stuff he does. Then maybe I'd follow you too and see who does it better, but from what I know. He is very detailed on everything, unlike people that I've watched that just say, it's okay if it breaks, or just keep turning, and if the bolt breaks, buy a new one, etc. Hes professional. It's also a DIY channel. So let it be. Thank you.

J Rodriguez I don’t have the time or an appropriate place to fully redo the front suspension on a car. I wish I did, but alas I do not.
I felt so much excitement and Joy when he gave it a ride after alignment! That accomplishment and work paid off
I did not foresee my driver's side lower control arm bolt being blocked by the transmission mount on my '03 TL lol! Found a video of someone removing the same LCA on the driver's side of an '02 Accord, lo and behold it's the same suspension structure as my TL! I had to raise the transmission a few inches to remove the mount (so nerve-racking) but I did it and completed the full suspension rework. You can do anything if you do your research and get your hands dirty! Thanks ChrisFix, your detailed videos give me so much confidence working on my car!! :)
My dude. I work at a dealership in parts/service, and I think what you do here is amazing. So many customers could save thousands if they simply followed your step by step guides. This is a service to the public and enjoyable to watch for those of us who already know how.

Yeah it just help understand what people are talking about - I never understood what tie rods were etc.
I thought binge watching is only for Netflix originals! Your videos r so informative, addictive. Thanks a ton Chris. I know I never do this repair myself but still I watched till end! So well made and right to those subtle details.
My brain: How To Install A COMPLETELY New Car Or Truck In Your Front Suspension
I think its the other way round
@Nathan craft that’s exactly the point
I just found your channel about 4 days ago. *I was planning to buy my first car, because I've used the one my father had, but since June I live in another country* I own my drivers license for almost 2 and a half years, and I wasn't interested about learning how to superclean your car, or how to fix a rusty part.. Honestly I thought it is too hard for me, and i'd rather be paying a couple hundreds of dollars for a mecanic instead of doing it myself.. "BTW i don' t have the required tools" - or that's what I've thought- A few days earlier I've found your channel, and I started to be interested, and to feel more confident too. I've inspected a car today(the Chrisfix way) and I've negotiated the price for almost the half of it. I am really excited to see your next videos too, and I just want to say thank you from all of my heart, your channel had changed my thoughts about cars, and fixing them. Thank you Chris :)
That’s awesome man!
Wow that’s deep man
That's deep bro lol

This is a great video . I am tempted to try doing this on my 2011 Sienna on which I got rear shocks and front struts only replaced. I went to CB and they said the whole suspension needs to be replaced, control arms and all! Dealer said everything looked good, except for one small leak in a rear shock which can wait. And a small business repair owner advised replacing just the shocks/struts plus sway bars only, stating springs and other components are okay - he didn't want to replace things that were in acceptable condition! After this was done, although I do notice some improvement, I can still feel the bumps in the road and noise, although less than before, but not as much reduced as I thought they would be, like in a new car - which was a bit disappointing. It is intriguing to me to know where all the 'soft cushioning' comes from, that 'rounds off' the bumps' impact into a nice thud. It's been a nagging question in my mind as to what else needs to be done. Perhaps if you have time, you will be able to explain the symptoms that can be experienced when different components individually degrade, so that we viewers can have some sense of what component is likely the cause. Also how long does it take for a novice to do something like this. A lot of videos advise caution w.r.t damaging brake lines or other wires etc.
I do love how you explain the pressing of the ball joint and the bearing. Id say inform the viewer that on most cars you're able to get the control arm with the balljoint already pressed in. The same goes for the bearing. Although the bearing will be more common to have to press it in.
It's nice when they have parts like that but good to show regardless!
