Thank you for the step by step video, like many others have said I saved a TON of money as well being able to do this myself. I don't know if you're aware or the others who watch the videos, but I was able to do "loan a tool" from my local auto parts store and that also saved me a bunch of money on tool costs. Thank you again.

@Jolaya03

2 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching!!! The lower control arm was in great shape and the lower control arm bushings too, no cracks. The lower control arms are a bit expensive, so i would’ve just replaced bushings if they were bad.

Great video I just watched. Looking for parts now for my 2013. The TTX looks superior. Why not buy there upper control arm? Also, if changing the upper, is there a reason to not just change the lower? Thanks

@Jolaya03

2 жыл бұрын

Customer wanted the regular ones for uppers, I usually replace the upper control arm because there’s not much of a price difference for the ball joint by itself or just the whole upper control arm and they are super easy to replace compare to lower. The lower control arm bushings where in great shape and all they needed was ball joints, also no point in replacing considering price difference and more labor involved. Thanks for watching !

Nice video, i enjoyed watching it, just got a couple of questions, why did you not put grease in the tie rod zerk fitting while you was rite at it..,and what's a fair price to pay for that kind of job, i was quoted over 1,000 dollars a couple of years ago..???

I ended up topping off the joints with grease before it left the shop, I would say That’s about what the average cost is with good parts

Great Video ! Question. I have a 2009 Chevy Silverado that has a vibration in front only when I go to slow down or come to a stop. I've had the front rotors and rear drums changed, front and rear brakes changed, rear cylinders changed due to leak and just had the front left wheel bearing changed, and it still has a vibration ! It's driving me crazy, any ideals ? the mechanic shop said the only other thing it could be is the ball joints, what do you think ?

Thank you for the great video. I just left my truck at the delaers, they called me said my 2017 GMC Sierra Will need both lower ball joints replaced. But because the ball joints are welded in, I would need to replace the control arms. 1300 dollars. I called a local auto store, they said they may have been trying to scam me. have you heard of welded ball joints where you had to change out the control arms?

aren't you supposed to torque top arm at ride height and use leverage to seat the threads

@Jolaya03

Жыл бұрын

Yes, I did raise it with jack to tighten It’s so u don’t put to much twist on the rubber bushing It wasn’t to far off from ride height and it was going to get alignment at the shop 5 miles away in which they would loosen and readjust for camber. Even though I put back where it was, I personally still send to get alignment done and let them know to re-torque.

If u never done it, u should be able to get it done in a weekend taking your time, I got it done in about 5 hours, and I took my time. Biggest thing is to take the time to press the ball joint in and make sure it goes in evenly and doesn’t get hung up going in. Thanks for watching!
