The difference between when Eric and I work on old cars/trucks is that he has all the right tools and a prepped shop, meanwhile, I'm laying on my back in a garage inventing new curse words, and crying quietly while considering life choices that have led me to my situation.

I can guarantee that I would never of been able to get those bushings out. Those suckers did not seem to want to budge. Even though this job vastly exceeds my capabilities, knowledge, and tools, I can still learn a ton from watching a pro work through this... Basically one big job can be broken down into 1,000's of "micro-tasks". I may never be able to do this exact huge project but there's definitely plenty to be learned here. Thanks for all the effort you put into this!

@@ericthecarguy Thats actually irrelevant. Max gain can effect overall quality but barring any extremes it effectively just effects where your end user sets their volume. What you need to be concerned with is how close everything thing is to your max gain setting. You might be able to add some compression to the mix and it should bring up the quiet parts and squash down the loud bits. It will require some playing around with since compression will bring all quiet parts up in the mix, not just the ones you want to hear.

Another option to get leaf spring bushings out of the leaf springs is to drill a few holes in the old rubber bushings and use the air hammer or press and press them out, then finally just air hammer or press out the metal casing from the bushing off the leaf springs.

Yeah, but you're forgetting the individuality factor, some people like to do this kind of stuff (or transition easily from other tinkering to this), some people are entirely (and rightfully) too scared to leave another to do it etc. And it's not that difficult if you're aware of the problems you encounter. Start unaware, unadvised, and completely green without so much a single online read or documentation, sure, then it sucks all kinds of sandy balls and you're better off finding someone else to do it.

The work enviornment and mindset can also play a huge role. I've done a reasonable amount of repair work on my own vehicles (all hondas) in my own garage. Recently I've been helping a friend work on his subaru out of his garage. It's cold, dark, damp. It's not setup, all the wrong tools. We're usually goofing off and not focused when working either. Takes forever to get anything done on that car in that shop, even if he wasn't there chatting to me.

Hi Eric, I’ve followed the discussions on ETCG1 for a while, first time on the original channel today, your dads old truck caught my interest. Been at dealers for over 27 years, so watching what I do every day is not all that exciting, but I liked the video. Suggestion for you, seems the hose clamp didn’t work well on the parking brake cable, I always use a 12 point box end wrench over the cable collar to evenly compress the spring tabs on the retaining collar. Even old rusty ones either compress or break and then the cable slides out of the backing plate on the first try.

leaf spring bushing removal recipe tips: 1 heat helps remove the inner bushing the rubber want to hold on until its heated , 2 ive seen some people use a cut off wheel and cut the outer bushing where the opening is where the leaf spring wraps around. 3 you can use a bolt and a washer that's just smaller than the outer bushing + the ball joint press the way you had if to press the rubber out , heat helps here too. things i've learned through experience and watching others videos that might help in the future. none of which are a guarantee. things rarely go as planned. if it was easy everyone would do it.

Couple things after watching this. If you slip a 13mm box wrench over the end of the park brake cable it will push the cable clip fingers in and take it right out, might be a little quicker and easier than your hose clamp method. Also you'll want to also swap out the bushings in the new spring shackles because the bushings you put in the springs are urethane, and alot stiffer than the rubber stock style bushings. It will help with wheel hop.

Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer Spray works great for hard to get to areas. I have regretted using polyurethane bushings since the first clunk. They were liberally lubed. Just replaced them with standard rubber bushings. All you needed was a large washer or socket to pull the bushing out and into the receiver. A little heat on the outside of the spring would have helped immensely.

Hi Eric, you mentioned that the bushings tend to squeak if they are not lubricated. I have a VW Jetta 2013 and the suspension squeaks when the temperature is 65 or below. The colder the more squeaks. I get the squeaking when the car has been parked for hours. After driving for a few miles, the squeaking goes away. Then I park the car for a few hours and the squeaking comes back. I asked a mechanic if the suspension needed lubrication and he said the suspension is maintenance free, meaning no lubrication needed. They do I need new bushings? The mechanic did not suggest replacing the bushings. Do I need the lower control arm bushings? What do you recommend? Thanks for your very entertaining videos. Mario Gomez.

Great video and thank you for the useful information! I'm curious why you have chosen not to replace the leaf springs verses buying replacement leaf springs or even lowering leaf springs. I've been looking at replacing my leaf springs on my 2001 Silverado for a little more hauling capacity and to simply refresh my almost 20 year old suspension. I'm looking forward to part 2!

They didn't need replacing, just new bushings.

@@ericthecarguy good to know. I just assumed they were starting to sag because of age.

When I dropped my rear end every ubolt was broken! Something I started using that saved me a lot of time and headache was using evaporust. The nuts, bolts, and washers looked new after about a half hour.

Eric, you mentioned WNY - what town? I grew up in Sinclairville. My 89 came with a carbon fiber drive shaft. What's the opinion out there on them? Will they handle torque better than the aluminum ones?

just a question about chevy trucks. The oil cooling lines tend to leak at the connect fitting by the filter. I'm wondering if there's better options for lines that last? I was thinking about na fittings and hose till I saw your last fairlane Ford remote filter comment saying they leaked. I have seen a video of someone cutting off the quick connects from the oem hose and putting compression fittings on but don't have a flare tool big enough to do that size tube🤔 (as of yet)😅
