The first video in the Suspension Basics series explains the motion of link bars. The arced motion causes a pushing and pulling condition as the link bars move which plays a major role in the operation of the majority of suspension designs including front control arm suspension systems. This principle is also important when designing and building steering systems and drive shafts.

  • You have nailed presentation as well as covered all modalities, visual, auditory, even tactile with your use of illustration along with superb use of simple language to explain complex action, reactions. I taught automotive in local high school to a less than intrested audience. Your viewers want to be here and your style will bring more. Reminds me of the Jim Handy films Chevrolet made in the 30's to teach mechanical principals of there cars. I used these in my presentation during theory. If I were teaching today, yours would be used. I know this is a long comment and thank all that read to the end. I'm totally impressed!
  • @rambler1964
    Dude! 5 years of an engineering apprenticeship and this makes more sense than any of it! Please keep teaching more and more!
  • You earned my subscription to your channel in a basic intro! Humble learning/teaching with explanations for 'why'? Yes, please! I 'failed' (stagnated) out of college for the same reasons you gave... Turns out that I was/am autistic, and most of us just can't learn by drilling of formulae without the 'why/how'.
  • Wow! I used to recommend Herb Adams' Chassis Engineering book to everyone, but in 10 minutes you explained what it took me several read-throughs to understand many years ago. I especially love how you call out all our mentors who told us what, but not why. Keep it up!
  • @billp.365
    I'm just starting number one now and what I got out of it was the less forward backwards the better. So the longer the bars the better. I'm going to watch every d*** video in a row and apply this to my forty nine truck build. Your explanations are excellent thank you.
  • @mannymalistic
    An amazing teacher you are. I'm an old hot rodder from the 70's and you're videos reveal the gaps in what I know! How satisfying to learn some more. Sincerest thanks.
  • @DangerAngelous
    I've been slogging through a uni final year project to do with suspensions, it's refreshing to come across someone who has the same specific needs in terms of learning and processing info as I do!
  • @ericswild
    I am so glad I found your channel. Thank you!! I built a jeep based on no knowledge and blew up a few pieces without knowing the why of the geometry..
  • @billp.365
    I have been watching a bunch of suspension videos and this video by far is the best schooling i've had. Well, there was this 40 year old woman and I was 20 And boy did she school me. Anyway you get what I mean ha ha.
  • I never comment on videos! They way you explain things, is absolutely amazing. Thank you for what you are doing here, I love all your videos. Thank you
  • I dont know why you're not at 1M sub. Your quality and knowledge is well worthy of it!!
  • @hnmcclain
    Brother you were made to teach; and this is coming from a college professor. Awesome video.
  • @mariascali4758
    I know zero about automotive anything- maybe even less than zero, I have no mechanical or automotive background but I'm trying to learn and understand more. Even though some stuff is over my head, I still walk away feeling I learned so much from you. Thank you for keeping it simple, and for prioritizing understanding while being humble about it. Looking forward to watching and learning more! =)
  • @kristopher2651
    I'm not building anything and I love your videos, dude!
  • @EMURC7075
    Mate.. such a good video! you made this so easy to understand while being entertaining at the same time!
  • @deankay4434
    Thanks for keeping it interesting and informative. I have subscribed today and binge watched 12 videos. I enjoy the honesty, movie clips, levity and more that anything, information. Thanks much! DK, ASE master tech since 78, retired.
  • If all of my classes in public school had been this good I might have actually been excited and applied myself. Lighting included. I really appreciate that someone on youtube has figured out how to properly light their set. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours but if they’re all like this, you could be on network television. 10/10 thus far.
  • @RobertTerrill1
    Excellent presentation! I have a lifetime Automotive Teaching Credential at the College level in California, Very Well done.
  • @matterwin2851
    Thank you for making this video. I really appreciate the simple explanation!
  • @Johntasticful
    About to start my own project car and I’m going through your suspension videos yet again! Thanks
