00:22So, what is car suspension anyway? It's the system that keeps your car steady,

00:28absorbs those nasty bumps, and keeps your tires glued to the tarmac. We're talking about shocks,

00:34struts, springs, and control arms. Notice uneven tire wear? Bouncy ride? Odd noises as you drive?

00:42That's your car begging for some suspension TLC. Before you get stuck in, let's talk tools and

00:48safety. You'll need a jack, jack stands, a socket set, wrenches, and a spring compressor. Safety first,

00:54always. Make sure you're on a flat surface, parking brake on, gloves and safety glasses on

00:59your hands and face, and seriously, disconnect the battery. No one wants an accidental shock while

01:04working. Step 1. Inspect the suspension. Lift your car with the jack and pop it on stands. Never trust

01:11just the jack. Have a look at the shocks for leaks, springs for cracks, and bushings for any wear or

01:17damage. Give each corner of your car a bounce. If it keeps bouncing, your shocks or struts are done for.

01:22Step 2. Out with the old. Start with one wheel. Remove the wheel, then it's time to unbolt the

01:29shock or strut assembly. Use your socket wrench for bolts at both the top and bottom. If you're

01:34swapping out springs, use your spring compressor carefully. They're under serious pressure.

01:39Pay attention to how everything lines up. Future, you will thank you at reassembly.

01:43Step 3. In with the new. Slide the new shock, strut, or spring in, making sure it's lined up just like

01:50the old one. Tighten your bolts to the manufacturer's torque. Check your car's manual for the numbers.

01:56Wheel back on, lower the car, and repeat for the other side. Step 4. Test and align. Once you've

02:04finished both sides, take your car out for a spin. Listen for odd noises and check if the ride feels

02:09smoother. After suspension work, it's always a good idea to get a professional wheel alignment.

02:14Keeps handling sharp, and your tire's happy for longer. And that's it. You're ready to roll.
