Chinese jump rope…..
I cannot thank you enough for developing this channel ✌🏾 I have learned so much from it. I am confident in performing basic maintenance/repairs on my truck because of these videos! Every time I have an issue or want to learn something new, I always check your channel first.
This guy is awesome I learned more about cars from watching his videos than from anyone or anything else
done.
Other tip, if you run the lock nut on the tie rod end all the way to stop, Measure the inside distance from lock nut to tie rod end, then screw it in the measurement you need to zero out your toe.
should've showed how to check if the steering wheel is truly centered, I guess the way would be to take a string and tape both ends to the windows evenly, but that's assuming that both doors are precisely mounted properly, and then I guess measuring the string to the top of the center piece of a steering wheel, though eyeballing that would be tricky, you'd probably have to use another piece of string, I'm not very sure, hopefully you'd have some performance steering wheel with a sharp squared metal frame lol but that's not very common, ya I can just imagine with this method it's definitely not the best to be making 1/16th adjustments, you'd at LEAST be making all 4 wheels parallel doing it this way
Seems like a bit of guess work and moving string for each adjustment is pretty tedious eh.
Thank you 1A Auto. Your vids have prob saved me some major headaches
Good video. Very helpful
This is helpful because I live 90 miles away from the nearest shop that can do alignments and there can be up to a two-week wait to get a complete four-wheel alignment done. Had to replace both inner and outer tie-rods recently and this at least ensures I'm not burning up my tires over the 10 days when I take it to the shop.
