How to Install a COMPLETELY New Front Suspension in your Car or Truck – Everything Law and Order Blog

Learn how to replace the ENTIRE front suspension of your car in this two episode series. Here I will show you how to install a brand new wheel bearing, ball joints, control arms, tie rod, strut, and axle.

The ball joint and wheel bearing has to be pressed into the knuckle and I have a bunch of tips and tricks to make that easy. I show how to properly install a tie rod (safely) and get an accurate measurement so you can get the car aligned. I also show you how to properly torque down bolts with bushings so you don’t tear them. The rest of the suspension parts are pretty simple to install and then we go for a ride to see how much better the car handles!

  1. I am pumped now that the suspension is all good and the surprise at the end of the video! We are gonna have some fun with this car!
    PS I will have a car meetup in Toronto Canada this Tuesday. Check my stories on YouTube, Instagram or Facebook page for more info!!!

  2. I need help with installing all of that the suspension. Would you like to make a video of my car.
    I can drive it to you.
    I would like to learn how as well.
    It's a 2011 Nissan Sentra

    Thank you

  3. Hey Chris, Been a big fan of your videos for quite some time now and finally deciding to do the entire front of my 2001 Civic Ex… Any reason why I shouldn't buy a full assembly for the struts, knuckle, etc?

  4. Hey Chris. Just wondering if balljoints have to be greased in all cases when buying new ones? Do they ever come with the grease already installed?

  5. Hey, chris fix I love the vids keep up the good work. I am wondering where you get all the proper torque values for the car. Where can I get the proper torque values for mine? @ChrisFix

  6. 15:18 I love how Chris talks about the retaining clip like it's a small side comment, then says "This prevents your axel from falling out as you drive"

  7. Wow, I’m completely hooked on your videos! You explain everything with such clarity and simplicity, like a great teacher guiding a child ❤

  8. I have a 2nd youtube tab open playng "jazz hip hop" instrumentals while watching this. LoFi jazz and car talk, the combo I never knew I needed.

  9. Bit of a newbie question here, but why didn't you also have to replace the rear suspension? It doesn't have much impact on drive-ability? What about safety?
