Perfect achievement. Thanks

what about a propshaft?

350 inches a second ? I don't think so

Absolutely the best explanation of this I've ever seen👍

IMO should have done the 1 3/4" hole, and carbide bit the 1/16 off to the perfect fit. Plasma gives a crap edge that is twiceas hard to gride off. Just my 2 cents. You do good work sir! 👍

Dude you build a mean control arm! I'm planning on doing long travel suspension on my 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis. I think it's easy to assume that the factory ball joints won't hold up Any recommendations? Rod ends? Johnny joints?

Dude! That was like if SNL and How It's Made had a love-child for car guys! Awesome content, and you explained it so that a guy who occasionally still hits his thumb with a hammer could understand it. Thank you for taking the time, and putting in the effort, to make this video! 👍

I kept wondering why I didn't get notified, then I looled at the instructions, user error corrected! Really enjoy how you tackle new stuff, up, not down, and feel like I'm part of a movement. Thanks for taking on the challenge! We who are about to learn, salute you!

After accidentally watching this kind of notching. Im wondering how can you get the exact measurements of the pipe you needed with this notch.

Tip Find the center of the circle. Use the right angle ruler and align the tip of the ruler to the circumference of the circle. Mark 2 points the ruler cut the circumference. Draw a line through 2 points; that's your diameter. The middle of that line is the center.

Humble.. very humble. Yes. There are people better than us but there are also people fake to be better than us.

zerk fitting = grease nipple (australia)

Great video. I am new to all of this kind of stuff. I am working on my first air suspension install on my 1982 C10 crew cab. Decided to go with a watts link instead of the panhard bar that came with my 4 link kit. That decision was made after watching your videos and understanding how they work and why. Thank you for that! I might have missed it, but what thickness of metal did you use to make the brackets?

Two words, Simply Awesome 😎

Just can’t find the words for u man, u are simply wonderful 👍

Awesome video, now subscribed.....Are you Chuck Norris's love child?

This video is epic. Have watched it many times. You are amazing, my friend! Thanks for the great work!

Great video Mankandy! 🔥 Thank you! 💯

I've been practicing on 24 gauge sheet, and wishing I had a smaller gauge of wire handy. Thick plate is easy.

Also, if you bought a cheap machine at the big box store, sell it and buy a proper welding supply. The reason is that those pricepoint machines have skimpy, weak internal components, resulting in a "loose" power supply which does not maintain a constant arc voltage under the naturally varying load of arc / welding motion. A more expensive machine from a proper welding supply company will have a "stiff" supply. Welding on a cheap MIG vs. a semipro model really is night and day. You can't cheap out and get good or consistent results. Welding is one of those areas where you have to spend a fair bit of coin as the price of admission or you'll just be miserable and frustrated. Ask me how I know this. ;)

My MIG instructor (a welding engineer, apparently) taught us that most of the strength of a MIG weld is in the bead and penetration should not be expected - which makes "prettying up" welds with a grinder a no-no. However, with C-25, the right speed, and the right machine settings, my own experience (and my own dozens of welds sawn in two) I'd say he was 50% right. But penetration is absolutely attainable with MIG.

I can't find our conversation about the old CVCC, I found a factory twin engine Honda

Are you serious, "man candy" disgusting .

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. My front suspension was squeaking while going over small bumps. Took me a while to diagnose the noise. It was due to the control arm bolts being a tad bit loose. Got it tightened at the service centre.

Nice explaination,thanks

"That sounds like a really bad idea, doesn't it?" WITH THE BIGGEST SMILE POSSIBLE. And everyone's laughing and screaming, Do it! Do it!

Excellent description of poly bushings - with clear video to explain the function of the main parts. He shows how to get it right, how to get it wrong, and the reasoning behind his simple/vital rules. I've been watching videos on the subject all morning. Erase all of those, and just watch this. You will save yourself a lot of time, and you'll know exactly what to do.

Loved this clip! Got a new subscriber, great content! Got a question, I'm thinking on building (not myself, but other pro people with correct machines) some Lower Control Arms for my drift 350z, something like GKTech ones (which will put together the LCA + compression arm). OEM are 2 aluminium pieces, so, no way to weld them together... Do you think using 1/2 inch steel sheet (like the one you used on the clip) will work to achieve that? Maybe some heat threatment post fab would also help? Some clarification before getting some "just buy them from their store" advices.. I'm doing this cause where I am, getting those GKTech LCA will be 3 or 4x the price listed on their website... which is 1000$ already...

I bought a BMR K-member and BMR lower control arms for the front of my Mustang. The tabs are wider than the bushing. Could I use washers to make the Fitment better so that it clamps the inner sleeve without having to bend the tab so far or that by the time the tabs contact the inner sleeve they’re bent at an negative angle

This video is just as smooth as your tooth. Keep it up!

Had replace arms cause my mechanic couldn't put them in

Some things, even free, are too expensive.

The Problem with spot welding like that is several things. Crater is always the weakest part of a weld if no other faults are present. That's all a tack is really, no different from the spot welding. You were right to bevel the plates to a knife edge, that's ideal for mig. Second problem is the "dime" obsession people have thanks to Instagram welders who don't really understand the structural side of things. Believe it or not, each contact point on either leg with each dime is a notch effect. Weak spots all the way down the weld. It's only truly acceptable with TIG welding. Even then it can be done wrong. The later weld without letting off the trigger was better but kept the same issue with notch effect. Third weld has the same issues, pushing back into where your puddle used to be leaves a dead spot for penetration. You'd be able to spot it fairly easy on a bend test. Same notch effect up top but not as profound as the other methods. Down hands are a different beast all together. Slight pivot with the gun side to side is generally accepted as ideal, regardless anything that calls for a single down hand in structural generally isn't critical and it's not worth worrying about. Anything else stringers remain king and every test we can throw at a weld proves that. Learning how to make a pretty stringer is what all welders should strive for, that is far more difficult than following a pattern. What you show off is just fine for a hobby welder building stuff at home that isn't critical. Most of these things wouldn't fly here in structural shops.

Thank you for explaining the axis and bar length on triangulated setups. I was only 90% sure on what's correct but now I'm 100%

Oof 18 inches of lift is too much for anything, especially body lift, let alone with only 32in tires. Definitely won't be a "capable offroad machine" but it will probably be the tallest yaris ever.

Loved your video, sir. finally, someone took the time to explain the puddle.

The ginormous rim and tire will kill your mpgs

It's not every day you come across gigachad articulately and concisely explaining something most mechanics and builders would overlook. The more I wrench, the more stuff I learn I don't know. Thanks so much for this video.

As a machinist, high school math nerd ( understanding the interaction of arcs and angles) I have long appreciated the brilliance of the Watts linkage. The piece seldom menthoned, the FACT that a panhard bar, at extreme deflection, turns the rear end into an uninteded stearing device. Excellent explanation of a complicated, yet simple, device. Thank you. Well done. Flagg

Dude it’s so good to have you back! Positive energy I love it

The name 'Sawzall ' is from a company with name the Sawzall company.

Hell yeah thanks

Yes!!!! 😂😂😂

I lifted my lancer using outlander suspension parts. Lifted it like 4 or 5 inches. I first wanted to do it to my scion xa(same platform as the yaris) but couldn't do it like i did the lancer.

3:45 shit was out of nowhere lol Great vids

Got to love it. I recently picked up an 05 wrx with plans of taking it to the rally side. Next thing I know, you have a video up with plans of lifting your car. It's like this was all planned. Im curious if that rear spring had a wedge built into the stock rubber spring seat? I've worked on a few vehicles that need the seat clocked right for the spring to sit right. Ramps are great for working under a vehicle when you do have access to a lift. Also, if you know you're going to mess with springs. Most all parts stores rent out the spring compressor, and you get your money back when you return it. Great video, as always. I look forward to seeing where this build goes. I've been contiplating starting up a channel for the build of my "new" car. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
