When i started 35 years ago, i was taught to evaluate all parts of the steering and suspension and if the steering and suspension was in working order with little to no wear, we would undercoat the entire steering and suspension front and rear. I still do this practice to this day and have my customers do this service every 2-3 years and i never had a comeback or premature steering/suspension failure. All of them have had the original steering/suspension over 150k and still functioning properly

Thank you, Scotty! Today, I took my 2017 Highlander (~93K) in for service at the Toyota dealership. The technician said my control arm bushings were cracking on one side and recommended replacing the complete control arms. I was suspicious because there were no major cracks. It looked more like small cracks and just normal wear. They quoted me for $2,900 repair job... I'm going to spray the AT-205 for peace of mind. Thanks again, you are super!

Been following Scotty's AT-205 suggestion for some years now since I first heard of this tip. I live in New York State where we get road salt and when I change my motor oil I spray AT-205 on all my suspension parts. Once a year I check for undercarriage rust and spray some undercoat under the car. When I got the car new after half a year I got it professionally undercoated. But yeah the AT-205 is GREAT. Helps keep the rubber/plastic parts healthy and not brittle.

I called the manufacturer of AT-205 about using it on suspension bushings, and they said it will lubricate for few minutes, but the stuff will evaporate. And they said I would be wasting my money. I personally would recommend silicone spray, and make sure to stay away from lithium grease and all purpose WD-40 since they are petroleum based. anything petroleum based will destroy rubber.

My mechanic told me that me that my lower control arm needs to be changed along with stablizer links while changing the motor mounts on my mercedes. I'm very anxious about my ride and try to get it well maintained eventhough it reached 100,000 miles and this suspension work is my next job to go for and im thinking to change my 2012 Mercedes E350 struts/shocks to Bilstein B4 (comfort) as it feels bumpy and awkward, I heard lot of good reviews about the bilestein on German cars Thank you Scotty 💯

I have an '02 Dakota Quad Cab with 63k miles. I bought it new. It had a bad ball joint, and overall loosness in the front suspension. I bought 4 Moog control arms with the ball joints & control arm bushings pre installed. I also got new idler arms, stabilizer links, steering links. All with grease fittings. While at it, I replaced the calipers & roters/pads with power stop drilled/slotted roters, and ceramic/carbon fiber composit pads. Total cost was around $650. Now my truck rides and feels as tight as the day I got it. And the composite pads, fantastic. Quiet, no more dirty front rims, and braking is firm & true. No noise or pulling to one side. The suspension wear is so gradual, you don't realize how bad it is until you redo it. When I took it in for an alignment after the redo, the mechanic commented that the work I did would have cost between 3 and 4 thousand in a shop.

Hi Scotty Love your videos and hope you read this. I used to be a Toyota technician and I found that this complaint is usually the brake pad shifting back and makes a noise as it hits the bracket. Just my experience of what that complaint usually ends up being.

If it's a small clunk when backing up, I often see 12-17 Camry brake pads shift in the caliper braket just a little bit. Cleaning dust and debris from contact surfaces help. Make sure hardware is in place. Also and less common, the metal cowl tray under the wiper motor will have insufficient torque particularly where it connects to the LH strut tower. Most dealers assume its the strut mount, but it's the cowl tray shifting under a loose bolt.

Great advice on additional uses for AT-205, Scotty. Have a 2007 Pontiac G5 SE 2.2L and had to replace bushings that just fell off when my brother was just going to change them. If we drove that day, mom and I would have been in the ditch or worse. Had the brakes, sway bar links, tie rods changed as well. Had water leak below glove compartment and brother fixed that. Beginning of this winter, heater blower motor kicked out. Gave it a kick as you shared on one of your videos and presto got heat in the car. When temperature dropped to -38°C with windchill at -45°C, I had to kick motor twice when it wouldn’t start. Still starts and sometimes chugs and I have to hit with foot or windshield snow brush. Lol. Love your videos and your memes 🐴🦭🦧🐒
