**STRANGE trail repair on this Toyota Tacoma**

so we got a call for a toyota tacoma that is stranded up here they said they're on the tockerville falls road but i see them over there they went left instead of right so we're gonna go up and see what's wrong with the vehicle and see if it's something that we can tow out or if we're gonna have to fix it where it [Music] i can't see lies busted is that the leaf the spring tension might have broke on it that whole upper control arm sitting down on the tire i was assuming that that the cartridge bearing in there was bad but i would expect there to be some motion you said it came with a noise the long bolt that's what i was wondering if maybe the long bolt or the spring tension in there but they said it's kind of an odd one so they're pulling it off right now oh how come this isn't obvious this might be bent right there silver so slightly enough yeah i don't know if i can dock them into going again tomorrow we'll get this fixed i kind of want to go try it again but i think my nieces and nephews are done with me they were that enough to do it i would think not but that is did you meet that though mark on the tire seriously this is getting old luke all right gotta go bye so did this happen the noise happened back there on the turn yeah on the turn okay this is what so what happened there's a big rock there that you dropped right over oh did i and that this upper the upper part of this spindle is bent right here it's not it's just over the whole thing so this whole thing's just bent in like that and that's of course what's that's why nothing's loose nothing but um so does that mean the upper control arm is probably bent up too if that one bend it's probably not actually really you think again yeah the ball joints okay it's a fuse no it needs a new control arm or yeah so this it would be this whole spindle but yeah i can see this one's got more of a curve to it than the other side yeah let's drop that we'll take this for reference [Music] right here my yard see if i've got anything too small so what do you want 3 16 uh part way between them right part way between what 3 16 and a quarter [Music] okay so you coming with us ed this truly is going to be an experiment what we did best to be described as shenanigans yeah thanks for checking yeah the other place was tomorrow and 4 40 so that might be weird yeah i think it'll be worth this i have to be back at work saturday night so i'll probably just go through them so okay just like i thought i'm not quite clearing the break that's okay i brought something to make sure we did the question is do we use those ones or the other ones so let's try these ones always do the minimum [Music] the other ones aren't going to work i can tell you that already okay it's too far in look how far in those have to go i wonder if you could use some rosters oh no because it wouldn't clear the brakes the brakes now the new problem [Music] i wonder if you can even like layer some cardboard pieces in there [Music] i can make some wheel spacers can you put them here and it worked let's put them right here [Music] well the holes are great the problem is we just need a one side cut like this so that it'll fit like that okay okay here's a another one to start one five six [Music] hey you wanna head to spring drive [Music] [Music] so what's up okay well it looks like it worked got it back so that took a little bit of figuring out to get it done but we did it i don't know how you're supposed to do it but that's how we did it today thanks for watching [Music] you

If you don't want to watch the whole thing skip to about 2:45 to see him explain what is broken and then about 7:15 to see the weird way he fixed it.
