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!

    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 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 Youtube. 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!!!
  • ChirsFix, a kind of guy that returns tools in a better condition than when he picked them up. Good guy Chris.
  • @yigithan3713
    Still cant understand who would dislike Chris' videos...
  • @shawnfri1215
    I find it funny that you buy your mom a car and you’re not allowed to put a balljoint in the freezer lol. Great Vid!👍🏼
  • 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 YouTube. The videos are easy to watch and extremely informative. Once again, Thank you.
  • anyone else find these soothing af?? literally watching this with a drink. confidence that its helpful and true, but also entertaining. Quality content sir.
  • @bassam_salim
    Turbo?! Oh yeah, that is what I'm talking about Keep it up Chris!
  • @jamesnewman5204
    While i don't see myself rebuilding the entire front end, this was a very informative video & gave me a better understanding of the front end of the vehicle
  • 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!
  • @incidentshappen
    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.
  • @filthysoap96
    Nice I've been waiting to put my car back together since the last video
  • @marklowe7431
    I've been doing this for many decades. Even though you're using hand tools and no full fitted workshop it's very clear you know what you're doing. A lot of very good guidance for those that don't. Really good videos Chris.
  • 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 !
  • @Roger-tv7sf
    Always nice to watch someone who loves what they do
  • 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.
