Hey, Mr. Kilmer. I have a question, if you could help me. I have a 2005 3.3L Dodge Grand Caravan. Smoke coming from under the hood, over heats sometimes, coolant leak, heater doesn't work properly, but it will work occasionally. What could be the problem, and would a radiator flush/cleaning help??? I know you're a busy man, but If you could get back to me i would really appreciate it, thank you.

Shock absorbers can also protect timber homes from getting badly damaged. (Earthquake).

[@harrytitus9184]

Scotty I am a regular subscriber now for many years. You recommend Akebono brake pads, but I wish you would recommend the double gas shocks that you were speaking of. I know bilsteins are really good shocks and you've mentioned KYB however these only last about 50,000 miles. Honda original equipment shocks last much longer. Is there a shock besides KYB that you can recommend? Also is there a shock that really absorbs bumps and makes the car ride more smoothly than bouncing over and crashing over bumps and Imperfections in the road? I would love to see more information on this topic.

[@G31mR]

Shock absorbers do not transfer load to the opposite side of the vehicle in a turn. Shock absorbers, more properly called dampers, do one thing and one thing only; they resist/damp suspension movement. This prevents uncontrolled wheel travel due to springs (including tires) storing and releasing energy, and controls vertical body movement.

[@rubenleal4821]

The suspense was killing me, but the end was really shocking.

[@joemores6196]

Word. I have learned so much from this channel. I'm a girl. Dad taught me lots of things growing up but I had to pester him to get him to really show me stuff. Dad is a mechanical engineer but can practically build a vehicle. Save for the computer programming stuff he doesn't have a fancy Scotty scanning/programming tool. Scotty keep teaching us. I'm an MD in the US. We are going to start retiring early (I'm 40). Definitely looking into energy engineering. Tesla's system is trash. Learn from the masters while they are still alive!

Great content Scotty. If you get the opportunity to expand on schocks, could you also talk about off-road setups like: progressive springs, long travel setups, remote reservoir shocks, hydraulic bump stops, and also what is involved in maintenance of these more advanced setups? I found these topics to be a bit complex and there is not much information out there where it’s explained in your helpful and straightforward manner. Thanks!

Great Video! I love this style! At first I thought you would talk about shock absorbers, then springs, and then struts. As much as I liked this video, all of your suspension shot looked to be struts. I would love to see you explain all of those different components. I know most passenger cars have struts. Trucks have have struts up front but shock absorbers, and springs in the back. Hope you do another video like this that goes more in depth with all suspensions. Great Vid!

Heavy duty shocks also stabilize a vehicle extremely well. Put 4 higher priced Gabriel heavy duty shocks on my Explorer a few years ago and it was like night & day compared to the cheap garbage gas shocks that were in there and it rides real tight with no wandering & with much more stability since they were installed.

So another words it rides a lot rougher because for it to be tighter it must not ride smooth…🤷🏾‍♂️

Thank you for this video!! Very helpful!! I did ask a well known guy who restores cars in Utah has a well know tv show what shocks to use when I went to big car event in Los Angeles. He wanted me to talk to his main guy who recommended a German company for 4X4. No complaints. I was going to get the popular Rancho, & told other company has better shock for 4X4 at big 4X4 event. I hope a lot of people see this helping them decide the best shocks for vehicle. Remember never buy one shock also get two.

It’s different for every vehicle and what kind of shock. Some shocks don’t last too long while other last a really long time. Just replace them when you notice your car isn’t riding great or bouncing a lot.

[@421CentralIowa]

You’re normally such a Goofball Scotty, but you proved to me you’re also a science teacher in this video. Thanks for showing the difference between dual and single tube shocks. Finding the best shocks for your ride is always a gamble. Too rough or too soft. It’s always a risk of having to try a couple types to get your personal taste dialed in. I just put KYB ExcelG on my jeep and am already wondering what Bikstein 5100 or KYB Gas A Just would have felt like.

Twin Tube Gas Shock Absorber

[@timmueller1314]

I changed over to Bilstien gas shocks and struts years ago. Great dampers, very nice ride. Last a long time. My first set started getting a little soft around 100k miles. They can also be rebuilt. They do cost more though. I remember reading Bilstein said it cost them more to make a stem seal than what other manufacturers charged for a whole shock. I thought roll or sway bars transfered energy to the other side of vehicles, not shocks. They just dampen the spring action.

[@donross2914]

Love the vid Scotty but what about degraded or damaged bushings? They have a large impact on the suspension components of the vehicle! For example. My neighbour thought his suspension was damaged - UK potholes are killers. He forked out enough money to replace all of the suspension! After installing he had the same issue and didn't know what to do. Sent it to the Nissan garage and it was severely degraded bushings!
