Very informative - no rambling dialogue or excuses , no BS !!! - just getting down to business - love it - keep up the good work !

[@mikeyp134]

We have no problems, only solutions! Love it man. Great instructions. Keep it going!

[@barricadegarage5361]

Michael Perry thanks!

[@ManicMechanic007]

Camera work and information details are impressive. Thanks.

[@kenl5217]

I agree

[@chriscullen6949]

my man even giviv torque specs.. i'll watch this over worldstar anyday

[@jbaj007]

video skills, technical mechanical skills, teaching skills...…..A+. Really helps me with my daughter's ZJ

[@MrStatic101]

I’ve done dozens of these on our jeeps and never ever did I consider taking the whole damn thing off at one time. Fantastic video man!!!

[@xjsmstr]

As always, your videos are top notch. Got the linkage replaced inside a couple hours and even think the alignment is halfway decent. My bud that helped me couldn't stop talking about how awesome your vids are. We've used three so far just this month on replacing axles, ball joints, steering gear, and driveshaft. Thanks again, man!

[@michaelshoup2703]

OK, done & dusted! All new steering linkage and stabilizer shock installed... Whew! Took me a lot longer than than expected, but doesn't it always? LOL.. I did the track bar yesterday, and yes, gettin the cotter key off the castle nut on the frame side was a BEACH! Thanks again Ray.. You are the man!!

[@barricadegarage5361]

You got it done done, good job! Feels good knowing thats taken care of

[@slackmason]

loved this video man. straight to the point, no annoying unnecessary back story, or intro music splash screens, or 20 minutes of nonsense before getting to the actual meat. and you put torque specs in there. legit was refreshing. thanks for you work!

[@youdagoob]

Very well done, young man! "No problems, only solutions." I need to do this to my 1993 Grand Cherokee. I replaced the steering stabilizer and trackbar, but still have a wobble. I think I basically need to replace every steering component and bushing up front.

[@TheCzechmate007]

Did you have your wheels re-aligned after lifting your GCH? Especially check whether the front wheels are not converging. You need to make them slightly divergent. This helps to suppress the wobble... Of course exchange every component, where there is some backlash...

[@richardbonfils6791]

I’m not sure which is your better talent, mechanics, or, videography... Great assistant too! Thanks for all your hard work...

[@bernelnery2191]

Barricade is always my go to no bullshit tutorial, straight to the point. Not a lot of talking. Just serious work. Also awesome editing.

[@leakyjeep5.9]

Funny story about doing this a couple weeks ago. Was getting everything ready to install, putting the zero fittings on and noticed one didn't have one drilled. I was cursing Moog up and down, Googling how and if you can drill them. So I drilled it out and went to put grease in it and next thing you know grease shoots out a hole in the side.. Yeah, the hole for the zero fitting on the drag link I believe.

[@barricadegarage5361]

leakyjeep5.9 haha seems like moog is loosing their quality. theres a guy with a 5.9 that just commented on this video needing help removing the steering stabilizer, I told him to try hitting it with his purse... maybe you can offer better advice haha

[@leakyjeep5.9]

+BARRICADE GARAGE Damn auto correct, I meant to say there was already a zerk fitting on the side for better clearance, so I end up with 2 holes lol. My original stabilizer popped right off, with the right tool(pitman or tie rod puller) and some heat gun action of course.

[@boonedank9893]

Bro I never comment on any video I watch, But I gotta say... the execution of this video is flawless. great angles, lighting, video/audio quality is spot on. delivery of information was direct, no nonsense, no confusion... I've never been so impressed with youtube content lmao. Big help G, thanks!

[@brianhutson2408]

This guy is a master and a born teacher. These are fantastically informative videos.

[@jonathonbaker9075]

Been searching for a clear and concise video for all of the parts you mentioned and worked on here, so glad i found this!

[@bombdiggitydave3881]

Thank you for making this tutorial. I really appreciate your "to the point" d-i-y style, along with your attention to the details, even providing torque specs and socket, wrench and tool sizes. An excellent video for ZJ steering components restoration!

[@ohthelawd]

Easily the most informative video out there for this process. I wish more KZbinr mechanics would watch this video and see how it's done.

[@TheCzechmate007]

You and BleepinJeep are the most informative channels about Jeeps... Thank you!

[@martinfinster9899]

The best, best, BEST tie rod replacement vid out there. Well done, sir!

[@benschenher6180]

Your videos are a life saver dude. I’m finishing up my 4” rough country lift on my ZJ today and I’ve watched a bunch of your videos over and over for help along the way

[@Suave6869]

I bought a 94 ZJ with a 4.0L and your videos are my go to if i cant figure something out! You do a GREAT job of explaining literally everything!

[@cespool]

Love your videos. Short and straight to the point. I went with the synergy manufacturing drag link tie rod assembly because of my lift. Its beefy but because of its heavy design it feels sluggish when you're driving above 35mph.

[@barricadegarage5361]

Brandon Klinger I put a 2 inch lift on this ZJ so I just went with the OEM style replacement. Rides great and the wife loves it. thanks for support the channel bro.

[@IronLungKiefKing]

Your videos are timeless with the ZJ’s. You’re no bullshit style is impeccable as well! I watch all your stuff working on mine and it takes away any headaches. (I’m not a mechanic) Appreciate you bro! Thanks

[@Threesixty31]

Your basic ZJ maintenance stuff is neat, clear and well filmed. Subscribed!

[@richgorsuch2667]

I’ve been doing the same things to my ZJ. I actually ran out and bought the same Milwaukee tools you’ve been using. Thanks for making these videos. Sure mad my life easier! 🙏

[@dyetman0714]

By far the best informative video I've ever seen, the time an effort you put into every aspect is amazing. 👍👍

[@christopherjewell8645]

This must have been one of the best videos I have ever seen in terms of information, camera cuts and quality. I dont even own an ZJ and still watched it.

[@MrKevindineen]

I have a 98 grand Cherokee that had the death wobble. I used your video for this repair, have never done a big suspension repair before, I just wanted to show my appreciation, you are excellent in front of the camera...Da Bomb, hope to see more from you...

[@PeterGoyer]

Excellent camera and explanation for this project. Thanks for the time and energy you provided for the Auto community. Kudos

[@danielsalm6410]

I really like this video because one, it is informative, and two it wasn’t 25 to 30 minutes long like most videos. Well done 👍

[@opalescentbeats9844]

dude : *bangs hammer underneath the car* girl: what the hell was that?

[@freetob1]

Your videos are BADASS!!! Keep putting them out. A woman here and I learn how to do all the work on my 97 Jeep Cherokee xj through YOU!!! Thank you

[@paulpavlovic7988]

Damn, you Rock Dude! You helped me with some of your other videos finding annoying knocks and loose feeling steering. Thanks!

[@JasonSpiffy]

I always get the urge to learn how to mechanic but then I watch your videos and my urge is satisfied. Another great video!

[@rickmartin1220]

Just found your videos. You do excellent work with explaining and showing. Gotta love anti seize no matter what you do it gets all over but well worth it.

[@axylotyl]

You do GREAT videos man. You've helped me redo so much on my ZJ. Thanks!

[@barricadegarage5361]

Im glad I could help out and thanks for watching

[@codyjmoore87]

Bro you videos are the best ive ever followed. Simple to the point no bs. Great content. You helped me with using the ball joint remover. Keep that ish up man.

[@JesseWeirdo]

I'm doing the same parts to a 96' XJ, this was a great reference to see the parts com apart from the vehicle, even though they are slightly different ;) Thanks!

[@barricadegarage5361]

JesseWeirdo glad i could be of some help. purging the air from the system is the most important part

[@sireczar453]

[@barricadegarage5361]

[@andrethornton3371]

Very well done. You did an amazing job explaining and demonstrating this entire process. Thank you for all the hard work

[@kennykunie6660]

Yo 1:27 That's that feeling when you finally get that old junk beat out after it's been in there for 20 years. I know the feeling. Love the video. Thanks man

[@shutupkevin789]

Spot on ! Quick & to the point ! No worthless chatter, as usual ! Love your videos ❤ !!!

[@captainbc52]

Thanks! Going to the pull apart tomorrow so I can take this off of Grand Cherokee and put it on my Jeep TJ. Now I know exactly what tools to take...

[@terrytinagero777]

[@marblemountain1]

[@christopherweddle]

I couldn’t find all the torque specs before watching this. Super helpful

[@daemondetully6166]

[@stephtagtgren9982]

By far the best video with explanation that I have ever watched. Thank you,you were very helpful.

[@matthewpalsgrove2090]

great video - this REALLY helped me keep my tie rod ends straight and stay organized redoing the front end. thanks!

[@Joeshomegarage]

Best video I've found!! Sockect sizes, torque specs you're awesome thanks man!

[@adammorin814]

Just a tip from the old timers that taught me to you, never ever hit the tie rod ends from the top like you did, instead you want to hit the casting that goes around stud with a mallet as it will deform slightly and drop right down, but hitting it from the top can cause several different issues one of which is a gigantic pain in the ass if / when it does happen.

[@jackclemons420]

video on this is very informative...nice camera work. ive done alot of these and you made it look easy... props man...nice work.

[@SuperSmashHoes64]

[@shazmahtaz]

[@legion2k988]

Doing my 96' soon. Always nice to see someone get on these things before I have to. lol "a little anti seize.. " You mean a shit ton! lol Good job, I feel better tackling it.

[@tselinsky6452]

"We have no problems, only solutions!" That's the attitude!

[@stayve.]

I followed along with this and your wheel bearing video and did it all myself. Would have been much harder without these videos man you’re awesome

[@Spruce-Bug]

Fantastic video. Super useful. I'm swapping a low pinion to a high pinion on my 98 4 liter.

[@samtate5962]

Awesome video. Thank you for bringing this to everyone who needs it.

[@frederickdominguez4829]

Best tutorial ever. Great no nonsense horse dookie. Also. Never sieze. Big props for that.

[@namibar312]

You the man, awesome easy to follow instructions.

[@iceman213]

Very cool 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thanks for sharing the knowledge ..... & like everyone else has already posted, great presentation .

[@Mojo4884]

Very helpful I will be doing this in the near future; my grease cups oozed grease (not at the top and bottom; out the walls) like the chocolate fountain at Golden Coral one even gushed out water.

[@TheAssaultScar]

[@juanduarte6656]

[@barricadegarage5361]

+Juan Duarte thanks. It is pretty easy. The hardest part is telling yourself to get out there and do it.

[@crossbonesjeep]

New advertisement for ANTI-SIEZE! LOL Great job. Bet she drives great now.

[@twolo6535]

Nice, quick video man! Thanks for this!

[@bassinitmac1T]

This dude is good! Wish I knew why my pitman arm snapped in half! Shouldve watched his video first. Got more kits to buy! Nice job bruh!

[@n2dabloo]

Another quality video. Big ups!

The thumbs up and the nod got you another subscriber ! Lol great job on the video very good description of what you’re doing !

[@barricadegarage5361]

Thank you

[@daponygang]

have to replace my steering stabilizer, this was very helpful on figuring out wtf to do sense I've literally never done any car guy stuff lol

[@teddiazjr.6223]

Great video and details are spot on. Much props on the sizes being listed, which Milwaukee gun is that? Any links on the parts?

[@michaelcichowski1314]

Nice tools, those Milwaukee's make the job a lot easier!

[@alwaysarmed1818]

Great video, I’m doing all the same plus a track bar and tie detachable tie rod bushings for my Tj. I wouldn’t recommend using antisieze on adjustable steering components though. Even if you torque them properly, anti seize compound can allow vibration to put it out of adjustment after a few hundred miles on the road. Regardless though, great video my friend

[@alextafoya5311]

Bro.. Thanks for all your hard work......Your video are great..... Out here from California.......

[@barricadegarage5361]

Next time you need to do your front end look up Doetsch Offroad in Arizona. They have the really nice aluminum steering linkage. I have it on my JK.

[@Dan-lq4op]
