Chevy SS/Holden VF Front Strut Replacement - No More Thumping!
Chevy SS/Holden VF Front Strut (With Variable Damping) Replacement"
Description:
In this video, I replace the front strut with variable damping on my Chevy SS/Holden VF. The car had developed a 'thumping' sound when going over bumps or dips in the road, primarily from the front driver's side. I previously replaced the strut mount bushings and sway bar end links, but the noise persisted. Even though the strut wasn't leaking, I suspected it was the culprit. Replacing the strut resolved the issue, and the car's suspension now feels much better. I might also replace the rear shocks soon.

Custom Grille Install on my Chevy SS/Holden Commodore
Просмотров 5523 месяца назад
I picked up a custom grille for my Chevy SS/Holden Commodore a while back, not knowing it was broken in some places. Thankfully, Will Pate over at Twisted Wrench Grilles took in my grille and fixed it up perfectly. This upgrade not only gave my car a sleek yet subtle new look, but it also helped lower my intake air temperatures by 5 degrees in combination with the vented hood I installed. Your ...

I haven't came across a how-to video on swapping the HID bulbs on the Chevy SS, so figure I would take the opportunity to do one and swap out the stock oem HID bulbs for some OSRAM Xenarc 66340 CBB HID D3S. While these new HID bulbs didn't meet my expectation on color/temperature, they DO generate more light and I can see further down the road. Hope this helps! Tools: - T15 bit to remove the sc...

Throw in the New 10 Speed Automatic Transmission that a lot of guys are putting in these SS’s and you’ll be twice as fast as you are now
I’ve been thinking about it. Soon, hopefully, real soon 😉
The mismatched rims are kindagay.
Found a 2014 with 161,000 miles for 20k should i pull the trigger ?
If it’s clean title, sounds good. I would do valve springs and trunnion kit asap after being it. Everything else just replace as needed.
Looks good I have a 04 avalanche that I took the headliner out a year ago and I finally ordered the material I can't wait to tackle the sunvisor to lol honestly that's the part I'm more nervous about
Take your time with the sun visors. To me this was the most tedious part, making sure to leave enough material to tuck in and then wrap around the visor holder/rod. The good thing is if it doesn’t come out good, you can take off the sun visor easily enough to redo them.
LOL driving empire on roblox used your car's sound for the devel sixteen
I found a couple of videos and watched it. Haha yeah it does sound like it. How did you find out it was the sound clip from my car?
@@LosSShello this is me in another account, I used to play driving empire and I also like Chevy SS's a lot so that's how I found it
@@Flops_404 ahh okay. Man they could have atleast game me credit or compensated me lol. I did some digging and yup, they sure did use my car’s audio in the game. Kind of crazy cause I wouldn’t have used it for the devel sixteen lol.
@@LosSS yea, it sounds crazy enough to compare with a V16
What are the specs for the wheels and tires fitment looks mean🔥
What kind of fuel do you use?
Mainly on e85
I believe spring and top mount has specific orientation in relation to the end link mount located at base of strut Also Its important to not over tighten the first and secondary top strut nuts. As itll place undue pressure on the strut bearing I added a spiel on the Facebook Chevy SS forum about the correct orientation and torque settings
Hey dude I got a couple questions for you man I’m about to sell my GR Supra) and get an SS i have questions about wheel fitment do you have an Instagram?
Message me through IG @los_23hssv
I just did mine today. Best advice I can say to do is remove the front passenger seat from the car before you drop the headliner. Makes taking the headliner out and putting it back in the car light years easier. You will need a T50 Torx bit. The seat is held in place by two Torx screws. The torque for installing the seat back is 33 lb ft.
I agree! Thanks for sharing that! I'm going to pin this comment.
Hey brother how do you like your ss its beautiful.i have a red 2014 ss its got only 1300 miles on it .I got the same rear spoiler you got on yours .I have a set of custom chrome rims on it 20-9, front and 20-10 1/2
I love it! Sweet! I was thinking of purchasing some Forgestar CF5V wheels. I like these wheels because the rears can be spec'd out to give a bit of a concave look.
I am about to do this either tonight or sometime this week. This is invaluable information
what is the place that you used?
Sorry bud, just now seeing your comment. I took it to a place call Speedy Headliners in Houston TX.
I have the same car but in Melbourne Australia. I have just bought a pair of headlight globes and I’m not happy with them. What model low and high beam globes have you installed and also what fog light globes are on your car? Thanks mate 💪💪💪💪
Was this car on meth?
No meth
Great video man, this shit literally just happened to my SS yesterday! 😫
Where do you source all your torque specs for all these engine parts?
think again is such a fucking good plate i love it bro!
Man super helpful, thank you!!!
I have a 2015 SS and the headliner is sagging. You did a great job with the video. Thanks again!!
Thanks!
if i wanted to get an SS and build it for speed is manual or auto better?
For spirited driving get a manual. If you want to go quick, get an auto.
@@LosSS thanks🤝🏾
This came out really nice! I have an 05 Avalanche that I’m slowly restoring piece by piece / 1 small project at a time. I’ll be installing new charcoal headliner fabric the same as what you’ve done. Your video was very helpful as I prepare to do the same. I’d love to see other work on the truck if you have more reno plans for the Avalanche. This may sound weird but your Avalanche has a name that was given to it from the factory. If you pull your cluster bezel as if you were going to want to access the stereo. The name given to the truck is typically on top of the plastic cluster trim bezel, my Avalanche has the name “Mike H.” I wonder what your truck’s name is from the factory? Great job and I’ve subscribed should you do more to the Avalanche
Thanks bud and appreciate your feedback! Wow! I didn’t know about the name. That’s awesome. I’ll try to remember to check next time. I have one more video I plan on doing. The exterior trim is completely faded which is a common problem but instead of using a trim restorer kit, I plan on using a spray and I actually used on textured interior parts and came out awesome. Stay tuned!
@@LosSS I’ll look out for the video, another project that I’ll have to do also.
That's the name of the person who installed that part or assembly, not the name of the truck. Mine says Sue K. My wife's Kia has a sticker inside the sunroof track with a person's photo and Korean characters. Presumably the same thing.
@@whitneyjacobs7874 I did not know this thank you. I’ve asked a number of people why there’s a name and have yet to be told a reason until now. Very appreciated and again thank you
I love it, but the interior is so fucking ugly
Choke faulty
🤷♂️
@@LosSS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥱🤮
Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍🤣🤣
Speed kills be safe Bro most showoffs don't always end successful! Nice nice car
Off topic! But would you mind sharing your tire and wheel size?
Another HOLDEN gay dude who is embarrassed to call it a Chevy - So sad to see what America has become.
Love it..
Great video, quick question. Where did you order the Holden upper grill / badges from? I got mine from holdenpartsusa and the plastic looks super cheap and not a glass black finish like OEM. Just curious If you have to paint them
I got mine many years ago, probably like 7 years, from the gm website and it came like that. I just looked up the grill on holdenpartsusa page and found this:”5/10/2024 UPDATE: Holden has changed manufacturers for the grilles. They are no longer painted Phantom Black Metallic and they come in black plastic only. “ That probably explains why yours looks different. If you do decide to get it painted, it’s not gloss black exactly, I think it’s call phantom black metallic, something like that.
Good job man. This gave me a bit more confidence to try and tackle this soon, because my shit sagging like a mofo 😂
When you install the larger throttle body, did you notice any Amplified blower wine noise over the stock throttle body?
Tbh not really but that’s probably because my exhaust is loud. I barely hear the blower unless it’s WOT.
Your blower sounds pretty loud to me. Seems like Most are quiet.
@@adam96blackss I guess from outside it’s a different story. Sitting behind the wheel I can’t really hear it.
which front bumper lip is that?
JTCarbon v1 lip
Sounds so good
damn stabilitrak
I’m thinking about getting one. Do you think it’s worth it and how many miles do you have on it ?
The car or the grille? Yes to both 😁

Zmzkzmsozzozmzlzmzkzmzpzm lo zlzl
cool car the ss is super rare and this is probably the first holden i've seen in the US.Also like the beefy wheel/tire setup.
Thanks bud! Yeah GM didn’t do a good job marking them in the US so they weren’t that popular. So many have been getting stolen lately and insurance companies just total them out. The number of SS/commodore vehicles in the US has been dropping like flies man. I don’t plan on getting rid of this car ever. So fun to drive.
I watch all your videos dude.i love your ss it sounds bad ass.i have a 2014 red ss sandan and I love mine it don't have but 13000 miles on it it looks new still it's been lowered custom rim a rear spoiler .I still love yours that cam and super charger is bad ass.stay safe and keep up the great job
Appreciate all the love and support bud! Will do!
I had recorded this video last year but never got around to editing it and uploading it till now. I installed this grille before the carbon fiber vented hood. With those two pieces, I have noticed that my IATs dropped by 5 degree (F) and am happy with the results! Thanks for watching and please remember to Like, Comment, Share, and Subscribe!
Sounds healthy
😭😭 bro!!! 🔥💎
you guys need the gtsr's. beautiful ride tho mate
great work. looks smicho
Man, a cam and a stall converter really wakes these trucks up.
i tried putting on both the low beam and high beam on my camry and man was it a fuqin pain
You have the link to the exact fabric you brought ? And is this too thick in your opinion to wrap pillars ?
I updated the description with a link to the exact fabric I ordered. In my opinion, I think it is not to thick and should be fine to wrap the pillars.
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
I love that hood I been wanting one for mine.they sell out so fast .maybe one day.
Ive done this for my 370z , although im having trouble getting my headliner to stick back into the car it just doesnt seem to stay up did you use any adhesive spray or what did you do?
You mean the headliner board isn’t staying up against the ceiling? No I didn’t use anything, the pillars, dome lights, pushpins and various other components hold up the headliner board to the ceiling in my vehicle. Sorry if I miss understood you.
This car is so badass.
