First let me say that I really like your videos. I found you originally when looking for tips on soldering wires. You not only helped me get that job done perfectly BUT you also included a bonus tip of putting dielectric grease on the solder joint, pulling the shrink tubing on, heating it from the center and watching the grease come squeezing out the ends. how satisfying! And perfect! And I like perfect. That being said. written? Anyhow. the springs control the car's ride height and suspension travel. And the shocks control the springs. You wrote that control arms and bushings have something to do with bouncy suspension, a bouncy ride. Well. control arms are fastened to the chassis using bushings. If they're worn then the car's handling will suffer and also, it shouldn't pass inspection. But worn bushings will not cause the suspension to move up and down. Up and down movement is controlled by the shocks, compression damping is down, rebound damping is up. they control it whether or not the car has worn bushings!
If you've got a bouncy car, get new shocks!
A friend of mine has a badass '67 Camaro. As a little trick you scare all the newcomers away every crew years, he'll remove his front shocks. He'll get to the line, launch it a little, hit the brakes so the front suspension compresses, then let off the brakes and punch the throttle again and boom, he's seeing the sky! Wheelies in a big American muscle car!
Edit: You got me! I should've watched the entire video before making a comment like this. oops, sorry!
I still truly don't understand how that bushing slop causes bounce. I don't understand how anything but shocks even could possibly control up and down motion. But I'm not a scientist. so I'm not gonna worry!

this might seem unrelated but now that i understand more about the Rear suspension play being bad for handling, now i know that i need to do something with my mtb rear suspension too xD

yo chris if your gonna be going with a turbo or super charger trying going for garret turbos but make sure it doesnt give that much horse power like atleast 400+ hp from like twin turbos

I highly appreciate your video thank you so much, I just have one quick question, what do you mean to torque down by lowering the jack? I didn't get that part.

chris maybe the new engine that you will put in the super charger will sound bad and i hope the new engine will sound like the old one
