1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: Every haway, let me slip away every.

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: Hey, Hey, welcome back. Why don't any of the card doctor.

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: Let's get over and talk to Bruce or Adell, New Jersey.

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: Look at that and see what's going on here. Bruce,

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: Welcome to the card Doctor. Sir, How can I help?

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 3: Hi? Hi?

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 4: I have How are you? How are you doing good?

8
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 4: I've got a two thousand Chrystler Grand Voyager Essie and

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 4: it's drinking steering fluid, and uh, you know, I I

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 4: want to fix it. I bought parts, but I understand

11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 4: that I have to move the call of the converter

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 4: out of the way to fix it, which just is

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 4: sort of out of my wheelhouse. And and then I've

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 4: also heard or read on a blog that you can

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 4: go in and through the wheel well and somehow work

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 4: if you if you loosen up a bunch of the

17
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 4: pulleys and wheels. But I don't know if that's the

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 4: way to go.

19
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 2: Well, and you know, there's two ways to do this, Bruce.

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: Either we're going to do it the book, where we're

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: going to get creative and do it the other way.

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: All right, this has the overhang with the wiper cowl

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: that can be removed.

24
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 4: It's a three point three engine.

25
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of what the two thousand body

26
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 2: style looked like. If this is the overhanging cowl that

27
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: can be removed, that might gain you some access from

28
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: up top, all right, only because yes, the proper way

29
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: to do it is drop the exhaust. But on the

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: fifteen year old vehicle with a bazillion miles on it,

31
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: sometimes that's not practical. So you know, now we've got

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: to look at the alternative. So perhaps this is going

33
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: to be vehicle up on jack stands, jack stands on

34
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: the pinch welds up front and in a hydraulic jack

35
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: on the cradle and lower the cradle. Keeping mind we're

36
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: working underneath the Tuton object, being cautious and careful and

37
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: supporting everything.

38
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: And when you say the cradle, you're talking about the

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 4: engine cradle.

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: The engine cradle.

41
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: Now the engine comes down with that.

42
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: It will okay, all right, and sometimes it comes down

43
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 2: the hard way. So we want to be we want

44
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 2: to be careful. We want we want to keep you

45
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: with all your toes, fingers, eyes and ears.

46
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 5: All right.

47
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: I did have a had a dodge intrepid that I

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 4: went to go remove to replace like the cradle bolts.

49
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: Like I said, the lower craterle bolts. It was like

50
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 4: a bushing ball, right, but the nut with the nut

51
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: would spin inside the frame and it rendered the car

52
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 4: useless after you tried to take the ball.

53
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: Right well, and and you know, and that could happen here,

54
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: and then we then you have to call me back,

55
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: and then I tell you the story. Hey, you take

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: the air chisel, punch a hole in the frame rail

57
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: or in the side of the body panel, and you

58
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: weld the new and then you weld the new nut

59
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: in place, and then you weld the plate over the outside.

60
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: You know, remember my number one rule. Anything can be

61
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: It just takes time and money, you know, forget about

62
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: the point of practicality. So you know, I would look

63
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: at this as you've got nothing to lose by trying

64
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: to take something apart. It's already broken. And my concern

65
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: is it's power steering fluid. And one of the least

66
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: known facts I think about power steering fluid that people

67
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: don't realize I bet you do, is the flash point

68
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: how quick it goes up in flame. Yeah, and that's

69
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: an issue, obviously, it is.

70
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: It is because I find that the top of my

71
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: engine has a certain amount of fluid on it too,

72
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 4: right right, So that scares me a little bit, and

73
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: I do smell it from time to time when I'm

74
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: on the highway.

75
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: Well, and then there's the damage factor leaking fluid. You know,

76
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: some leaks I like. I make the joke that you

77
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: know that people will call up or stop by the shops.

78
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: My car leaks oil. It's ten years old. And my

79
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: answer is built in rust preservative, And I get that,

80
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: but you know, sometimes the leak is excessive. Sometimes the

81
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: leak's in the wrong place. Sometimes the leak does damage,

82
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: and you have to be cautious of it. We went

83
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: into the shop on Friday to do our work and

84
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: there was a surprise drop off a ninety eight Lexus

85
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: with two hundred and forty thousand miles. They had been

86
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: out in Jersey visiting somebody from They came out from

87
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: Rigo Park, New York, and after looking at the vehicle

88
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: for five minutes, it was there for a pulsing issue.

89
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: I had to tell the owner listen, I wouldn't put

90
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 2: my wife and kids in this car and go five

91
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: feet Probably wouldn't eve let him stand outside the car

92
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: and think about getting in it because it had such

93
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: a bad power steering fluid leak off the rack, the

94
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: power steering rack main bushing, the rubber bushing had deteriorated

95
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: to the point that the rack was clunk clunk, clunk,

96
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: clunk clunk. At what point do you lose the steering?

97
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 2: And as if that wasn't bad enough, the leak was

98
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: so bad it was undercoating the entire left side of

99
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: the floorpan of this ninety eight Lexus three hundred series.

100
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: And at what point does the car catch fire? You

101
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: know some cars, there have been some cars over my

102
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: forty two year career that I did want to burn,

103
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: but I always wanted to make sure people were out

104
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: of them first. You know, some cars you wanted to

105
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 2: burn because you felt it was a it was making

106
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: the road safer for those that still drove. But and

107
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 2: this would be one of them. But you know, just

108
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: just be careful. It's sort of like you've got to

109
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: fix this or not fix it. Serious question. You're sure

110
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: it's the pump that's leaking.

111
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I'm sure it's not a rack up.

112
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: Okay, then why don't you try? Why don't you well,

113
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: why don't you try this, all right, why don't you

114
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: wash everything down a couple of cans of break clean

115
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: and some solving, put some drip pans down because you're

116
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: gonna make a mess. Wash everything down. And you know,

117
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 2: they make fluorescent die at the local autoparts stores, kind

118
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 2: of like what you go through when you go to

119
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: the hospital and they put that die in your system

120
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: and it flows through your veins and you see where

121
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: you're veins go and how restricted or unrestricted they are. OK,

122
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 2: And then it's just a matter of you get a

123
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: black light, and you can buy black light kits for

124
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 2: fifty dollars or less. If you're going to work on

125
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: your own car, you got to start to accumulate tools. Sometime.

126
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: I think accompanyed by the name of stream Light makes

127
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: a black lights or real thin pencil light. I think

128
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: it's under thirty bucks. It takes three three quadruple A

129
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: batteries or some crazy thing like that, but it's in

130
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: a flashlight form. I've seen those around and see where

131
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 2: the leak is because I hate to see you go

132
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: through all this and find out it's something else and

133
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: then you're gonna feel silly. Right, So probably the first

134
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 2: place to start all right, sir, right, so listen, anything

135
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: can be done. Common sense and safety are the two rules.

136
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: And maybe you can figure out a better way. Remember

137
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 2: the factory manual is trying to do it in a

138
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: reasonable amount of time. If you're faced with hey, it

139
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: may take me an extra eight hours, but I can

140
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: still drive the car without touching the exhaust system. That

141
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: won't come apart because it's sixteen years old, all right.

142
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: You know you got to look at it from that perspective.

143
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: So good luck to you, Bruce. Let us know if

144
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:10,800

Speaker 1: got an eighty six holes Cutlass Supreme. You know, an

158
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: old tank yeah sphinometer problem. When it's cold, it it

159
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: flutters and as noisy, and as it worms up, it

160
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: smooths out. But last week, since last week started doing

161
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: a new thing, it doesn't register at all until you've

162
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: gone a couple of miles. Maybe it worms up. I

163
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: referred to my eighty six holes cutlass Chatsys manual, and

164
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I'm probably gonna have a kinked or weak

165
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: cable and or caseine.

166
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 5: Okay, do I remove.

167
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: That cable from the top, just like all the old

168
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: mechanical speedos.

169
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: You should be able to. But why don't we try this?

170
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: Let me does the car have cruise control? Frank uh yeah, okay,

171
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 2: when when you have the problem that the spinometer doesn't work,

172
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: does the cruise control work?

173
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: I've never tried that.

174
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: I'd be curious because that cable has to have a

175
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 2: sensor on it somewhere for the crews to work, or

176
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: they're powering it off the back of the speedohead. So

177
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: if there's a sensor in line somewhere on the cable

178
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: or it's at the crew servo, maybe the cable comes

179
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: out of the trans goes to the servo, and then

180
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: from the servo goes to the spinometer head. If the

181
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 2: sensor is before the servo is at cable spinning, you

182
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: could look at that, if not follow it up to

183
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: the head. But if the cruise doesn't work, that tells

184
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 2: you whatever triggers the cruise is an issue too, and

185
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: maybe the position of that sensor will tell you cable

186
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: head or what part of what cable to look at.

187
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 2: Always look at a cruise cable when you're dealing with

188
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: a problem like this. It may be that if the

189
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: cable itself is at fault not spinning smoothly. We don't

190
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 2: like to use wet stuff when we're loving a speedo cable.

191
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: You know they actually used to make speedo cable, Loube,

192
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: I don't know where you would find it today, Well,

193
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: I bet I have a couple of tubes of it

194
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: lying around the shop.

195
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: Knowing me, I actually saw some O'Reilly's the other day.

196
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: Well, then you know what, if al Riley Otoparts has some,

197
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: that would probably be where I would start and lubricate.

198
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: If it's a specific wet lubricant or a specific lubricant

199
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: force spinometer cable. That's what I would use and if

200
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: I thought it was a cable issue. If not, yeah,

201
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: it could be in the in the head itself. But

202
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: you've got to disseminate, you know, what's turning, not turning,

203
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 2: turning smoothly and so on before you go any further.

204
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: Right, my manual shows how to check out the cable

205
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: if it's kind of whippy, right, you know, right, And

206
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, I guess the GM cable would be best

207
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: unless you know of an equally good if you.

208
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 2: Can well, if you can find a GM cable. We're

209
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: not talking about a spring chicken here. It's eighty six

210
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: ninety six, two thousand, you know, it's thirty years old.

211
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 2: You know, listen, you take what you can get. But

212
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: I bet you there's some new old stuff, new old

213
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: stock stuff out there. The other thing is, if the

214
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: cable's spinning freely, maybe you take a look down at

215
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: the trans Is the gear sticking out of the trans?

216
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: Is it worn? Where the cable you know, the male

217
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: female couple there fits in. Is it sloppy and looser?

218
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: Is it a good tight fit?

219
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, sir, that it all clears up after

220
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: it's all warmed up, you know.

221
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, well there's less drag on the cable then because

222
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: things are lubricated and moving. So you may be causing

223
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: damage somewhere else down the line, but the cruise control

224
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: question will be the key, and at least then you'll

225
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 2: know where to start looking.

226
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 5: Okay, right, sir, very much, You're very.

227
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: Welcome, take very take good care. Let's go over Dave

228
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: and Appleton, Wisconsin. Dave, you're on with the car doctor.

229
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: How can I help?

230
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, see, I got a first I'd like to thank

231
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: you for all the help that you share and all

232
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: the knowledge.

233
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: Thank you.

234
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: I have all four Nissan Titan and they had a

235
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: clunk in the front. Really didn't care. I figured once

236
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 3: it was done, it would break and I'd figure out

237
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: what it was then. And it's a sway bar link

238
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 3: and I've been driving it a little bit like that,

239
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: and I'm just I've heard about people talking about just

240
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 3: taking their swave bar off more with the plaint says

241
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 3: that I know that like to go mudding and four

242
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 3: wheel driving, and I'm just I'm kind of curious of

243
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 3: the pros and cons of that, and the tyre aware

244
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: and this the full ramifications of that.

245
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: Are you the only one driving the vehicle, Dave?

246
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: Yes?

247
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: Okay, no young drivers, no, okay. You know I always

248
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: worry about altering the handling characteristics of a vehicle and

249
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 2: putting a young or unseasoned driver in it. And you

250
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: know they've got enough problems just trying to stay on

251
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 2: the road, and now we're going to give him a

252
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,119
Speaker 2: real task at hand. My personal opinion and mechanical professional

253
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: opinion is I wouldn't remove a sway bar. It's it's

254
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: only there to help, you know, to repair this. To

255
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: repair the sway bar, the link ends. If you do

256
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: it yourself. You get out to an O'Reilly odo parts.

257
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 2: I get out to a raillyoda dot com and price

258
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: it out. I bet your two swaybar links are under

259
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 2: one hundred bucks. Yeah, correct, little bit of sweat and

260
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 2: elbow grease to get them off. They're going to be

261
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: rusted on. But you know that's the price you pay,

262
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 2: and that's you know, listen, that's what mechanics go through

263
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: as far as remove. You understand what a sway bar does.

264
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would like to hear what you have to say,

265
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 3: but I do have a basic understanding, and I know

266
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: it's under tension, that's for sure, right.

267
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: And the idea is, as you go into a corner

268
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: and you know, turn to the right, it keeps the

269
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: vehicle or attempts to keep the vehicle level, And the

270
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: harder you go into the corner, the more beneficial that

271
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: swaybar is. It keeps the body more to level than

272
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 2: it would be without it. It keeps the tires more

273
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: perpendicular to the road. It affects tire wear. So let

274
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 2: me say it like this bluntly, with no insult intended. Okay,

275
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna re engineer something that I think is one

276
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: of the better things the car companies have put on

277
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: vehicles in the last fifty years, and make changes to

278
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 2: something that's engineered in a specific manner that might put

279
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: yourself at risk, passengers at risk, the guy next to

280
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: you on the road at risk. All over one hundred

281
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: two hundred dollars. Repair doesn't make sense. Fix the sway

282
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: bar links be safe and that way you get into

283
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: a wet road, a slippery condition, and for whatever one

284
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: tenth of a percent, that swaybar gives you the edge

285
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 2: to come out alive. You're around next week so you

286
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: can call me up with your next car problem. Dave,

287
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: the clock's gonna grab me. But i'd be curious your

288
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: thoughts if you have any reaction to that ron at

289
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: cardoctorshow dot com, drop me a line or give me

290
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: a call back next week. Don't go away, We'll return.

291
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 5: Shoot, Hey, hey, welcome back.

292
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: Then in the car doctor, a couple of things, A

293
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: quick couple of pieces of uh, let's see, we'll call

294
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: it and as it were, I'd like to point out

295
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: that just as a reminder, this radio show, we're gonna

296
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: be live at the SEMA Show coming up first week

297

Speaker 2: of November out at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and

298
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: we'll be broadcasting this radio show. We'll be doing a

299
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: tape to air broadcast set up. That means we're going

300
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: to be down there broadcasting the show for two hours

301
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: that Tuesday, November fourth, between the hours one and three

Speaker 2: pm at the Bus Show aut A Motive after Market booth,

303
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: and we're gonna be there in case anybody wants to

304
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: stop by. Shake Hans, kiss baby, say hello. You have

305
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: to meet Fast Harry, Big Tony and Fast Tom Ray.

306
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: Is it Fast Tom Ray? It's chief Engineer Tom Ray.

307
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: There you go. So they're all nodding their head in agreement.

308
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: We are dragging everybody out to Vegas to pull this off.

309
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: This will be quite the feet as we're gonna fly

310
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: out during the week and come back during the week

311
