Are the control arms and ball joints still holding up well?

[@ดํารงค์ทองกู่]

สวัสดีครับผมชอบรายการคุณมากครับ

[@legoman104975]

This guy's videos are so good, you can tell he puts a lot of time into making and editing them. He deserves way more subscribers

[@mikekoz68]

You do good work, and I like how you don't explain every simple thing along the way, and just lead by example by utilizing crisp clear video. Gotta respect a guy who doesn't work off a hoist, so much harder working one foot off the ground! Cheers!

[@DarkDragonWing]

mikekoz68 Thanks a lot! cheers

[@70sfred1]

I respect you for jumping in there and fixing your own car!

[@issahvg]

I still don't think a lot of people here know the amount of edits you put into this video. Great edits and video once again.

[@DarkDragonWing]

***** haha yess lol Thanks, cheers!

[@wipi-dn2jf]

***** it's true, the edit skill is amazing.

[@Shakads]

***** I agree, you're the king of DIY but the edits are awesome too, great job by you and Manny! Love how you speed up the video when you have to do the same thing several times lol

[@landfors]

***** And he doesn't just make one edit either, it's always an edit in thai too.

[@jeppelysebjerg8075]

This series of videos with Mirage fix is the best thing in the world too see on youtube I LIKE IT SOO MUCH

[@DarkDragonWing]

jeppe lysebjerg I'm glad! Thanks, cheers!!!

[@labiferaj2626]

[@_antoniovarnier]

[@DarkDragonWing]

Antonio Victor V. B. Antonio Thanks! Cheers

[@isaacnewton9365]

Lot of work but I like how u take ur time to do everything right, even clean up...

[@DarkDragonWing]

Brian Sanchez Cheers!

[@icemule]

I'm 53 and thought the video was awesome. I'm doing a 97 Maxima and this doesn't apply but like to watch a few video's on the same part being replaced on different cars to see if I can use a tip for the car I'm doing. Didn't happen on this video, but liked the production value. Great for the younger crowd with limited attention spans and need for flash.

[@iamrichrocker]

bet your parents are proud of you..wish my kids were as smart and as energetic as you are!

[@Klose_11]

Excellent tutorial, especially the floor sweeping part at 4:56 is the part not to be missed :D

[@TheDriversPerspective]

This is some great stuff man, I've always enjoyed your videos and editing style. Super informative for people who want to attempt some DIY repairs.

[@DarkDragonWing]

Sean Thomson Cheers!

[@the_infinity_bus]

Hey thank you for the video, it’s been a huge help. I have a 2002 I’m working on, ball joint on the control arm went bad. This video gave me everything I needed to fix it myself

[@chrisoseland4643]

Thank you so much brother. I put my 2000 mirage in the ditch coming back from steamboat springs a few months ago and it ruined my control arm. I also still have my minnesota plates :)

[@1.8T20V]

Man, i am really impressed by your videos, looks like a lot of work. Great, entertaining and helpful video as always!

[@POVmotorsport]

men, you put too many effort in this videos. keep going bro, really apreciate it!

[@DarkDragonWing]

***** Thanks! cheers

[@pheth1302]

Suwat Dee! I like the flip flops. Good job on the video. You are an awesome mechanic.

[@TexasRigged]

I love the way you edit your videos Mackey. Really great instructional video. I enjoyed watching!

[@svenna11]

I must say, you know what you are doing. Are you mechanic. Fan from norway

[@amjathkhan2004]

That's a neat job. You made it looks so easy with your amzing edits as well. Kudos!

[@Screenguy3]

Glad you caught those before they broke. Any preference on brand? Seems hard to find units that have zerk fittings.

[@Jason_L500]

great job. very knowledgeable at a young age

[@timothystrunk7323]

Well done ive change all my struts springs and upppercontrol arms now gotta do the lower fwd

[@farhankamal1]

Honestly your work is great you take your time and love the attention to detail were others just don't care about the small things wish you could work on my car too lol keep it up 😉👍

[@DarkDragonWing]

Farhan Kamal haha thanks! cheers

[@krashpass]

Very well done. Just the important moves, clearly shot. Skip all the "waste of time" jabber and pounding in between. :)

[@antaklugom7389]

Nice Video. I will use this as a Guide when I rebuild my Ford Ranger Control arm later.

[@MrImhighoffmusic]

I see that you're bracing the chassis which helps when you start to tweak its performance. Nice video maybe you should do a body kit next

[@XxDOPEKILLERXx]

When every you upload I always watch videos bro keep it up your doing a great job

[@DarkDragonWing]

***** Thanks! Cheers

[@safisafari2223]

I wish I had watched this informative video earlier at least today before leaving my Highlander 2003 for Lower Arm control replacement. While only the left one was clunking they replaced the right one also,and charged me double, but the worst part is ,they me gave me the car back with alignment messed up big time..😂 and even the worse is when they say ,oh we test drove it and everything was ok.???Thanks for the video!

[@richardking6066]

I hope you did something about all that body rust!! Great job, well shot, thanks.

[@123luizfelipe456]

[@osam2772]

More videos man your freaking awesome

[@pisanuayawong6385]

ขอบคุณมากครับไว้ลงให้ดูอีกนะครับ

[@emmy1983]

Dude your videos are great. I have the same car and live in suburbs of Chicago. Snow and salt do mess the undercarriage. Anyways i recently had to replace Vapor Canister located behind right rear wheel because the bracket was so rusted, it fell apart and damaged it from dragging it on my way home. Next thing that needs fixing are the strut mounts. They are causing the coil spring to make an annoying sound when turning the wheel.

[@DarkDragonWing]

emmy1983 Thanks a lot! Hope your car will be fixed soon!

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Excellent channel, I subbed 👍🏻

[@jeffbrown3963]

Straight to the point video. Nice job - thanks.

[@brandonbrown9877]

Thank you so much, I'm tackling the same job soon as my new parts arrive for my Mirage

[@stevesons4999]

Does the car vibrate when steering with this being bad? I might have the same issues if so. Thanks

[@SKR-141]

I was waiting for these for so long!

[@alexjunk3557]

[@PixelTigerGaming]

Awesome video, can't wait for the next one. Cheers!

[@luross2057]

great video and editing. omg for the alignment.

[@china1013]

Ha. I love how you even put in the sweeping up in your edit.

[@ronkentwellstein6352]

good job,i enjoyed watching you change the control arm ,iam about to do the same,the only thing is oil brakes down rubber ,should only use silicone grease on rubber,i found out the hard way on new sway bar bushings only lasted 1 year as oil and normal grease destroys rubber ,just a tip.but your video was good .well done

[@40kfan50001]

ay bro u need to put up more vids lol im dieing here i want to watch you upgrade your car and to give me ideas your vids get me thinking

[@MrCraigy2705]

damn, I wish you had a civic, Your way of recording what you do is really in depth... You should do a Q&A

[@DarkDragonWing]

Craig Martin Thanks! I will keep the Q&A in mind

[@benjamincruz514]

[@nuttapongpete2212]

สวัสดีครับ...ผมติดตามน้องแมกกี้มานานมากน่าจะหลายปีแล้ว เก่งมากๆครับนับถือครับ

[@AceCombat75]

never knew aligning the wheel would take that long.

[@enduro-crosstime548]

dude you living my dream

[@dinastymvm]

you should do amber corners on your mirage.

[@lpsreddiamondlps2071]

hi maki!!! I like your sandals but it is dangerous to work but I like it

[@rizalsofian4306]

Thx a lot for this video..make me understand..tq so much

[@noahtorres5280]

Very nice video you should go mad jdm and slam it

Nice job. Cheers.

[@stevenbikes1936]

nice vids man. im ur fan from philippines :)

[@DarkDragonWing]

Steven Amagan Cheers

[@kingtut5923]

Very nice work

[@antoniopelayo6235]

Hey maggie i dont know if anyone has suggested this but you should put some hids in the mirage

[@DarkDragonWing]

Antonio Pelayo Hey thanks! I will do that soon

[@Vegeta_SuperSaiyanGod]

I 100% agree with @BlAzn. Edit skills on point as always with your RC builds too. Just one correction its not a tie rod its a Ball Joint on the lower control arm. Tie rods are only on the steering rack. Keep it 100.Great Job

[@subanboonchen2894]

So good. I stay in thailand.

[@DjHero535]

Macky, maybe u should buy another Mirage but in good (no rust) body condition? the most important in building your own car is base - good condition chassis. anyway good job!!!

[@DarkDragonWing]

+DjHero535 Thanks! Yes, I'm thinking about the same thing. This car is beyond repair, it's not really worth it. I will think about selling it and will see. cheers!

[@kwanchunmatthewlam1398]

nice video bro!

[@DigitalYojimbo]

Petroleum based lubes on rubber will degrade the rubber. Use silicone lube instead.

[@local.exoticstance9781]

Q&A would you ever put negative camber in one of your cars?

[@DarkDragonWing]

Mr.Stanced out Unless I have nothing else to do, then yes, I would try it out. cheers

[@boombap3504]

You should do some engine work in both cars

[@israelgonzalez7835]

Can you show how to adjust the throttle position sensor on mirage please

[@ftwadair4203]

Inspiring to say the least

[@kalubalu2231]

Nice work
