Few things can get mechanics arguing faster than someone insisting there's only one right way to do a repair. So when a Nissan technician told people to "never listen to Facebook mechanics" before demonstrating how he removes stabilizer links with an impact gun, the backlash was immediate.
The clip from creator and mechanic @wickywayoff hangs on the idea that an impact gun is a far quicker, and therefore more sensible, tool to use for what can be a tedious, time-consuming task. Viewers of the TikTok, which has been viewed more than 213,000 times, were quick to weigh in and expose a surprisingly deep divide over whether the impact-gun approach reflects real-world experience or sloppy workmanship.
