Hello Eric,

Having watched several of your videos, I managed to:
– changed battery cables and solved the problem of electric blackout when turning ignition on or off (no more static on the car either);
– replace both CV axles;
– replace both upper control arms;

However:
– before and after changing the upper control arms, when making left turns and going through a wavy/bumpy road pavement, I hear a bumping noise from the front right passenger side. My initial thought was that the ball joint on the right upper control arm was gone. This is why I went ahead and replaced both arms. Can you think of what the bumping noise can be?
– after changing the upper control arms and CV axles, is wheel alignment recommended?

Ask:
– If you have time and desire, can you post a video on how to change the carpet in a car. When driving through rain, I have an impression the carpet is getting damp on both driver side and passenger side. I have floor mats as well. I examined car bottom and there seemed to be no cracks, holes or leaks. When laying a new carpet, should any protective coating, insulation or any other work be done before placing new carpet?

Thank you!
Igor
