Its so amazing how over time your garage has evolved and improved to what it is now. Your talent is finally getting matched up with your work area and tools... longtime follower, not too often commenter... but I really enjoy that you keep to your roots and do ‘garage’ style DIY still... please dont change your style... you rock!

[@scirarocco]

Good work. Tip for cutting smaller diameter hoses in situ, with restricted access, get a cheap cigar cutter. It gives a nice even square cut.

[@Primus54]

I truly hope your viewers appreciate all the effort that goes into these truly professional-esque videos. The downside of you being the creator is you don’t get to experience the joy and admiration we do as viewers. You have an artistic gift that is quite uplifting.

[@lowlifeangler]

Subaru uses a Santoprene material for their Air Flow Tubes , Toyota uses EPDM rubber with thicker dimensions. Honda uses different material and thin out the tubes to save money , around 1.8 mm in the bellows, that often cracks

[@AJGreen-cn8kk]

Don't worry about the torque. An extension won't change the torque. Only if you use something offset, like a crowfoot wrench will it change.

[@robb1165]

Its was a long wobble extension. There is almost zero chance to use it without supporting both ends of the torque wrench. That would change the torque getting to the fastener, thus her comment.

[@wayne9518]

An extension of sufficient torsional rigidity will lose a negligible amount of torque between indicated and applied due to windup of the extension. So use the shortest stoutest extension you can.

[@AJGreen-cn8kk]

@@wayne9518 I like your explanation. You sure sound like an engineer I used to work with!

Looks like the tires are out of alignment. Outside of the tire is scuffed. Love your work. Such a perfectionist. Love it.

[@SarahnTuned]

Larry Hall that’s because it hasn’t been aligned since I put the coilovers on, no point until I’m done upgrading stuff and put new tires on.

[@jody024]

The New England accent when you say damper or sand. Great!

[@TheHallPartnership]

Hi from England. Great video. Appreciate you pronounced aluminium correctly.

[@icer3jdy]

Sarah are you building a track day Gump? That would be something really unique. I don't see how you are able to get your hands into some of the places you work on. I always feel I'm sticking my hand in a vice. I'm glad you are no longer working in a garage oven. Great video Sarah always enjoy watching you work.

[@kenchristensen1244]

Torque specs are fine with extensions unless by using one, you change the length of the torque wrench. This is why when using crow foot wrenches, you need to mount them 90 degrees to the wrench head.

[@hectordjibaou4198]

At around 3:35 of the video, that tire wear on the outside -- not sure if you are just leaning into your corners hard or if that's a camber issue but you may want to check all 4s to see if you have that same wear.

[@georgeemeny6123]

Hello Sarah, thought of you yesterday and this morning. My OCD kicked in yesterday. All I was going to do, was rotate my tires and clean inner half of the wheels. Well, got carried away trying to clean road grime off of the suspension and inner wheel well plastic. Spent 2 hours polishing lug nuts. What's wrong with me? The car is not a garage queen, but it shouldn't have been as dirty as it was.

[@pauljohnson7382]

9:48- Yeah, I'd be shakey too

[@nielsdebakker3283]

That camera shot was quite stable. But is there a pc word for that camera position?

[@NevadaMirage]

Your torque is fine through an extension. The only time torque changes is if you use an offset attachment like a dog-bone and the angle changes in relation to the wrench head. Extensions don't change that angle, you're fine.

[@garyworokevich2524]

[@jessemcenulty4095]

You can use an extension on the torque wrench. As long as it stays co-axial with the bolt, the torque reading will be unaffected. And I am a former Space Shuttle engineer actually :)

[@jameslongobardo274]

Sarah you make my day everytime I watch one of your videos you are so full of life and your so much fun to watch. Don't worry about the straight extension it changes nothing. And even if it did it would be so small it wouldn't matter. Looking forward to your next

Subaru Regional should use Gump for training because it is so clean! Also an extension does not change torque if perpendicular although the universal can.

[@ahmadghosheh3104]

I’ve found it easier to remove those plastic little satan clips by first spraying them with silicon and then using plastic door card removal tools to get the clips out. I don’t have sand issues b/c I don’t live in AZ but it might help prevent breaking a few.

You're going to see more reviews after this, waiting on cage to get finished in the Focus and I need parts still for the Forester.

[@TroyPosey]

@@SarahnTuned Yeah, waiting on parts sucks...Especially in 2020 with all this crap going on, that allowed the manufacturing companies to get backed up, and the shipping companies to be borderline useless...As if they needed another excuse to slack off. 🙄 But, It's all good Sarah. 👍🏻 I don't mind the reviews, as a matter of fact, I typically watch them. I just prefer the mechanical videos a little more, since I like working on my trucks, and always have built my own vehicles. But that's all just personal preference. I'll still be around watching all your videos, don't worry. 😉

I agree, that is, always read the instructions, aka "RTFM"

Using an extension will still torque the bolt to the inputted amount (there will just be more deflection in the extension). Using that angle adapter will alter the input torque though 😜
