[@ryandaddy2044]

dude you do not even say a word and yet you are one of the greatest mechanics on the internet. youtube is not youtube without you .Thank you so much for helpful videos.

Kaveh Foroughi .... maybe he is deaf like me

[@orange6303]

i agree.

[@jaleeskhan5184]

You just nailed it. It takes approx 2 to 3 hrs with proper equipment to get this done. You summed it in just 8 mins. Great vid.

When setting up the swingarm, we should remember that in order to eliminate the harmful and unnecessary torsional stresses of the rubber element of the swingarm bush, we should turn the swingarm bush only after lowering and putting the car on wheels. Greetings from Poland :)

[@FixItAngel]

Sebastian NoName hi, good to point that out. Thank you for the tip. Pleasure having you watching from Poland. Hello from Las Vegas. Have a nice day.

[@dritanpelivani707]

Its true what sebastian says , the control arm should always be in working position before tighting it up . Great job .

[@stonemeadowkennel]

Great video. No dumb music, no wasted time. It shows everything you need to know. I've never subscribed to a channel but I will now.

[@FixItAngel]

thank you brother for subscribing. i really appreciate it. i don't want to waste anyones time. as well as mine. get'er done!! have a nice weekend.

[@junemalig1261]

Salamat sa video bro.malaking tulong sa akin yan with my jetta 2003.sana next video pati mga torque ng bawat nut at screw ay ma detailed mo.ty

[@michaeldupree4360]

Great Job Sir! One of the best videos I've seen on doing the CV Joints on a Volkswagen!

[@Paolo0902]

I just watched this video and I was always taught to torque the control arm bolts only when the wheel is on and suspension is under load (on the ramps).

[@rogeryanez8107]

Not a big fan of German Cars but I dig the CV Axle design easy to come off and on.

[@williamhoward7121]

Excellent video, best editing I've seen! One note on the drive axle, many people won't have the money for a OEM but note that there us a known issue in Jetta's with the thinner replacements creating a loud vibration at certain RPMs . The thickness must be the thicker hollow version you show in the video.

[@cipryan96]

Is alignment necessary after changing both control arms?

[@iamyourfuture808]

superb video. love the camera under the car element. i was concerned how much thinner the new driveshaft was compared to the original...it looked to be the wrong part

[@fawiek]

Nicely done! I appreciate the multiple camera angles! 👌🏽🙏🏽

[@thehumbleonez4030]

Hands down..the best editing of any automotive video

[@rogerserafin]

Wrenching at it's best. Thx Angel for all the videos.

[@RavinderSingh-hd4hd]

Nyc camera trick to show the problem in suspension great job buddy keep it up

[@s.r.39]

Not a word spoken, yet everything said, you sir are the goods. 👍

[@Mrizing]

I don't want to be rude or anything but I did mobile auto repair for a while, I was just wondering wonderi how do you get work to come to your house seems like that's the best approach if you can get me some tips thank you thank you for being such a wonderful father your family is very lucky.

[@1jz_gte]

It is mostly his friends, family,and neighbors that needs their car repaired

[@julsdevilish1932]

Great video! Dealing with dealership on front end noise can be painful.

[@matthewbaxter7502]

Fantastic video not a word yet very informative. Thankyou for posting Angel. 😊👍👍

[@auldendagoat2756]

I wish I lived closer to you I’d definitely come to you to have my car serviced over anyone!

[@rickygreer7288]

You and Eric O best Techs on the Tube...

[@3jasom]

Bushings of Control arm should be tightened at the end under load :) (for example car is sitting on ground only by own wheels). If control arm is tightened without load, bushings stay always stretched and that gives them short life :)

[@kluwe801]

I need to do this on my 2001 Jetta wagon. My lower control arm is toast. Great video I am definitely going to refer to this video.

[@iandrackert7838]

Yo those control arm bolts are torque to yield. They need to be replaced every time. Otherwise, good job working on a vw. I have worked on them for 20 years now and I've done that job plenty of times. Usually just replace the bushings but you did it super fast!

[@ArmandoLoni]

Buddy!! Thanks for that..... Exactly the noise I'm getting on the Beetle. Brilliant way of showing the problem 😄👍🏼🍺

[@Eddiemoney193]

Don't forget safety first, wear you safety glasses around your eyes not your head! lol. love your videos just started watching your channel. :)

[@lucienl9465]

omg thank you for the camera work and noise !

[@czarnaalfa6959]

You are the best!!! Greetings from Poland.

[@Royal18s]

And make sure you get an alignment right after trust me lol I watched this same video along with others great video btw very relaxing...now after my ordeal was over with lol when I changed mine and cause man.. you’ll be sorry if you don’t and drive it like that Trust me lol from experience...short story...kinda. I had replaced mine on my new bought mk4 golf. I had stayed in Dallas for probation but was gonna drive back to Chicago and I just couldn’t wait and was excited to leave back home. Well...I lasted two days to get them done cause the bolts were just a pain. Finally got them done the second night and that night...I left to Chicago. Man I regret that I shoulda have slept and got an alignment the following day and left then. Well I was so anxious to get home I just left...well my car was so bad it made me nervous it kept pulling all over the place and sliding cause why...it chewed my tires bald. I pulled over to check on the status and bought new used front ones...back on the road welp shortly after same thing right back to square one. I even asked about an alignment and the shop couldn’t do it...supposedly they needed special tool which was bs they just didn’t know how and was too lazy to. So I was on the road again at night I pulled over cause it was bad at this point I was in Missouri in butt fuk nowhere..and I thought i could do a simple pull over sike nope..no where to, so figured I get back to some road and gps had me take some dirt back road..and I’ll never forget the noise when a rock raped my oil pan and made her oil all over the ground...there I was feeling all kind of ways. Spent that night in my car in the middle of a dirt road somewhere in Missouri in the woods. I could go on but figured you get the point lol always always get an alignment when swapping any suspension component in your vehicle ASAP.

[@amirgoldline]

Thank you Sir God bless you, you have really inspired me beyond my beliefs. Your persistency, your hard work at the same time very down to earth personality you are truly an Angle Sir. Love your videos, wish you the best of what life offers

[@MrUnityOnline]

He is an angle, yes.

[@OuttaHere7]

LOVED the suspension ride CAMERA!!!!!! My only critique would be to not use Chinese parts ever and to replace suspension bolts w new. Great job!

[@Darkness2light515]

This guy need to be promoted to owner of every small auto company.

[@raymondsaw6578]

I like your fixing car Channel Very much.

[@macrolosses]

What about the DSG blocking the bolt on the driver side? I tried raising the engine and everything. I need one inch of clearance.

[@RedondoBeach2]

Are you satisfied with the Import Direct OE Parts axles after nearly 4 years of use since this video was posted? Small print on the box indicates they were manufactured in China. I'm interested in knowing if they held up well over time or if they need to be changed again. Good video. I appreciate that it's clear, concise, informative and value added. Great editing.

[@SanDiego_VDubLife]

Pretty sweet dude. I noticed you didn’t mention torq specs. Also I’ve seen another video where the dude didn’t take off the axle but or tie rod ends?

[@alirads]

Nice! What's the torque on the CV axel supposed to be?

[@EnricoRossignoli89]

Great job man, I am looking for ideas on how to diagnose a problem on our 2000 vw beetle, I can't find anything online yet, its an automatic 2.0, I replaced a broken transmission mount (1 bolt holding) and new front rotors +pads :when you drive in acceleration little noise but increasing with speeds and it has a pace that speeds up along with speed, the noise when you are coasting around 20-30 mph and its like a grind that sends vibrations to the whole car. New motor and engine mounts, right wheel bearing is new new front rotors and pads, don't know where to look

[@luispellecer3338]

I lake you videos and you good jobs 👍😁

[@theunexpectedmechanic4684]

Awesome job, Angel!

[@johnnyVGtran]

excellent video great editing clear and easy to understand video

[@JohnDoe-ui5qe]

Great Video, But: You did a good job of showing how to change out the control arm and axle. ?But? I am sure you know there are torque specifications for every bolt and nut you fastened. ?I did not see you use a torque wrench?

[@vicentegonzales3852]

That right ...new mechanic use torque ... experience mechanic nah

[@siucbset]

Camera: What camera setup did you use to diagnose the control arm problem?

[@geogonzalez104]

Not sure what you could dislike about that video straight to the point no fuss no muss?!??

[@jettamaster3297]

It's too bad the inner forward mounting bolt for the control arm didn't break free the captured nut in the subframe which is a VERY common complication on this car/ the MK4 platform. Makes this look too easy. Would have liked to see how you'd have tackled that problem at home. Cheers

[@TKShigeru]

Great video. Why replacement axle thinner than original?

[@martinevan4237]

Isn't the axel nut supposed to be torqued down to a certain spec? Great video as always, Angel.

[@mr.nobody4900]

Just snug it up with an impact wrench??? that makes lots of rational sense.I hope next time you need to remove an axle nut and the threads are damaged and it won't come out cause you were too lazy to torque it an axle nut to proper spec. You will see the importance in following torque procedure.

[@kirk8545]

In the book (I have the same car), there's a 5 step torquing procedure. The other bolts and nuts I understand just go with an impact but this one I think it's pretty important, as it preloads the wheel bearing. I had mine coming off and not toruqed right, a few weeks later the bearing failed.

[@r0ck3t3]

also you should be putting a lugnut (or wheelbolt) in before you loosen it with the torgue gun , otherwise the small m5 bolt that secures the brake disk will snap off ;) he was just lucky it didnt happen. I know the small m5 bolt is not really needed , but still ... there are different ways of working on cars , one is the professional way

[@DelusionalHum.an.]

lol ya, the axle nut should first off be replaced when ever removed and torqued to 200lbf I believe then loosened half a turn then tightened again to spec. If not followed the but won't stay secure for long

[@shakermahmood6153]

اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آله وصحبه اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آله وصحبه اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آله وصحبه

[@eb121209]

Made those axles look easy. Might end up doing them on my own now. But shouldn’t you replace both at once instead of just one?

[@nonchalantbeatz]

Eric Ver Linden yes in an ideal world where money isnt an issue, you would replace both.

[@cbar30]

Most Axle nuts are one time use, I notice you never put new ones on. Why?

[@myrnafletchall5934]

What type of camera setup did you use to view the undercarriage of the car?

[@borilopez8581]

GREAT JOB AMIGO!!! IM.STILL WAITING FOR THE TSHIRT HAHAHA JUST KIDDING MY FRIEND IM ALWAYS WATCHING AND LEARNING FROM YOU #1 FAN HERE

[@MrKingah]

So would this be the cause of a banging noise in rear passenger side? I thought it was something in my trunk but it's not

[@franchristmagat4226]

Thanks for the video. All the way here from PH.

Hi there , Hummer H3 lower control arms are so difficult to remove on one side of it .

U dont use thread locker on c/v axle? I have seen bolts come out when axle was replaced.

[@alitheballoonguy3036]

Hello please what is your camera setup .I would like to use a camera to dignose my car problems.what camera do you use and how to attach to the car so you can record the suspension while driving.thank you so much.

[@robh1908]

Do you need an alignment after that?

[@Royal18s]

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho e competência!!

[@user-rs1990]

Did you use a GoPro mounted to a spring clamp to film the parts in action?

[@nyhsmark9250]

Do you get complaints from the neighbors (noise, extra traffic, chemical runoff, etc) for all these side jobs?

[@richfjr1300]

you're a brave soul to work on volkswagen's :)

[@j.garcia646]

How much it's the cost for this job in a mechanic shop

[@vicentegonzales3852]

Awesome short video under car ...what kind camera is that I need it

[@GeoCherian]

Why axle replaced for a torn boot,instead of replacing boot and grease if the axle joint doesn't appear worn?

[@JayyMotion671]

Maybe customer customer request ever thought about that . Or part was previously bought

[@zejin7491]

Will the difference cause torque Steering?

[@habilaj5]

That bolt going into the control arm from the sway bar link keeps stripping the control arm i tightened it and it won't tighten it just keeps spinning. 2 new control arms and 2 new bolts same thing both times

[@Copman-sv2kh]

Wow a nother great video this is better then looking at the Hines repair manual lol

[@camgreer]

Excellent video, man! Thanks.

[@그리고-r5o]

Thank you for your efforts.

[@ikutiap5923]

great video editing. nice angles too. but no torque specs???:)

[@auxmike718]

Notice how thin the replacement axel shaft is compared to the original!

[@rmg2344]

Another great video thanx angel

[@richfjr1300]

man even when new, that bushing looks like it could break even going over the slightest bump! OEM's have gotten so cheap nowadays

[@BADD400]

Great video Angel

[@P61guy61]

Excellent editing. Thank you for posting.

[@chriso229]

Looks like the lower control arm bushings get quite a work out.

[@JamesAutoDude]

On my 2004 Toyota Camry, it would make that same noise when stepping on the brakes!!! It sounded like the brake pads would clunk or something but all it was, was the control arm! I also replaced my axle at the same time 😂 and I know the axle wasn't the noise because I drove it after doing the axle and I still had the clunking when braking

[@racoonzattack]

I didn't know something so small and simple could make such a huge difference! I have a 2005 MK4 Jetta and for some weeks I've been noticing some wobble type movement in the right front wheel especially when I hit a sppedbump to hard or a small pothole. It feels as if the wheel wants to come off sometimes! I'm planning on taking it to my mechanic tomorrow. Based on you experience, would you say that's definitely the bushings or could it be the ball joint? I've been checking out various vids and it's lead me to believe it could be one of those things. Anyway thanks for the video especially the shot from underneath while driving! That was great!

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Excellent channel, subbed ! :)

[@bbogdanmircea]

those bushings can be pressed out of the control arm and replaced and keep the arm, that axle looks to be low quality, usually the original ones are hollow and bigger diameter ... OEM would have been better

[@FixItAngel]

bbogdanmircea yes I know that. But my friend does not want to spend too much on parts and labor. Everyone has a budget and preference. OEM is definitely better. Working as a used car tech at a toyota dealer we always recommend genuine parts. It's up to the customer on how much they want to spend. Was it wrong to put on non-genuine parts? Thank you for the comment.

[@bbogdanmircea]

Fix It Angel I also don't put OEM but the actual manufacturer that is OEM I think for axles it is SPIDAN

[@jorgeferrera1354]

Fix It Angel that's my question, is it cheaper change the complete piece than Just whats its broke?

[@k300zx]

Most do-it-yourselfers. Dont have a press to change the bushings. Also for a few more dollars and less stress. Just buy the C.A. with bushings ready.

[@justinschmer8742]

@@k300zx I have a press and still buy entirely units. It's not really a money saver to swap bushings.

[@lordwise5661]

I had a guy replace my axles, he said the Import Direct brand is so cheap and when he was putting them on they fell apart. I got an idea he was lying and did not not know what he was doing? Are they that cheap that they fall apart that easy. Then he said he eventually put them back together and when I got my car back and tested it on the freeway I got a weird clunking noise. The noise then went away and did not come back when I jumped on the freeway for the second time. Now I'm wondering if the guy did the job right?

[@DustyPearl-13]

Any idea what could that be? thank you in advance sir!

[@pauljoey7977]
