A reel from @teamsallyracing has racked up nearly ten million views for showing exactly what a day in a working garage actually looks like. The clip follows the creator through a sweaty rear suspension overhaul on a BMW build, grinding through bolts and wrestling stubborn hardware under the car, before she takes a quick break to roll around with her shop dog. Minutes later she’s already elbow-deep in a Civic project, barely pausing for breath between jobs.

It’s the kind of unfiltered, back-to-back garage footage that has made @teamsallyracing one of the most-watched builders in her corner of car content, and the combination of real technical work with a likable personal touch is exactly why this particular clip outperformed almost everything else in its category this month.

Rear suspension work is one of the more labor-intensive jobs a home mechanic or independent shop can take on. On a BMW in particular, control arms, bushings, and shock mounts are often seized from years of road grime and corrosion, which means a job that should take an afternoon can easily stretch into a full day of fighting rusted bolts, breaker bars, and penetrating oil. A full rear suspension refresh, including control arms, bushings, and shocks, typically runs anywhere from $600 to $1,500 at an independent shop, and significantly less for anyone doing the labor themselves and only paying for parts.

Worn suspension components aren’t just a comfort issue. Bad bushings and tired shocks change how a car responds under braking and through corners, and on a performance-oriented BMW build that difference is immediately noticeable. Mechanics generally recommend inspecting bushings and mounts for cracking or excessive play every 60,000 miles, since a failure at highway speed, while rare, can seriously affect handling.

Jumping straight from a BMW suspension job into a Honda Civic project, as the video shows, is a pretty accurate snapshot of what life looks like at an independent or home-based shop juggling multiple builds. Civics remain one of the most modified platforms in existence thanks to decades of aftermarket support, cheap parts availability, and a huge enthusiast community, which keeps them a constant presence in shops that work across both European and Japanese platforms.

Content from women working hands-on in traditionally male-dominated corners of the automotive world, like @teamsallyracing’s garage videos, has also been steadily growing its own audience. Viewers frequently cite the combination of genuine technical skill, unpolished behind-the-scenes footage, and a personable presence, shop dog included, as the reason they keep coming back, rather than any single dramatic moment in a given clip.

For anyone considering a DIY suspension job at home, the essentials are a torque wrench, a ball joint separator, a quality jack and stands rated for the vehicle’s weight, and plenty of penetrating oil for corroded bolts. Mechanics also stress double-checking torque specs after reassembly and taking the car for a slow test drive before pushing it hard, since a loose or improperly seated component in the rear suspension can be dangerous at speed.
