What happens here
Identify and remove the incorrect bolts and nuts from the upper control arms and tie rod assembly. The video highlights that some bolts are not proper Grade 8 and a tie rod nut is completely loose. Replace these with appropriate Grade 8 bolts featuring nylock nuts for enhanced safety and stability. Use a wrench for removal and installation. Simultaneously, a Port-A-Power hydraulic ram is utilized to straighten bent sections of the frame caused by previous impacts or stress.
