Lol thanks for the love

That bolt just came out and went back in smoothly. Mine I had to unscrew it all the way until the end and then thread it all the way back in when I did the new ones. Other than that the installation was relatively easy, so thank you for that

Very good video! Fixing to change both front arms and struts this weekend. Now I have an idea on what I’m getting myself into

Is it 3 control arms?

What caused you to change this part? What did the car do to make you look at this?

Awesome video, thanks for your time ! Do you know if the same part applies for a 2010 dodge challenger? if so, could you share what part model you used for your car ? ty once again

Hi I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It was so long ago and the vehicle isn't mine so I wouldn't be able to get a part number with out going the Google route. You can also Google the part for the 2010

Awesome video! Did you have to grease the pivot end or does it come pre greased?

@Davethemechanic305

5 ай бұрын

It depends on the brand you get. Some brands come pre greased and some have fittings so you can grease them

How did you know it was bad? What symptoms was your car displaying? How many miles did it have on it before you changed it?

The issue here was a clunking noise

Overall...GOOD video!!! One question though...is that bolt you pulled off from the engine end a camber bolt?? I'll be doing front-end work very soon too!! I'm wondering what mine is now on my '09, 3.5l!! GOOD video!!!

The owner of the vehicle bought them. I'm sure they have them at the local auto parts store near you

Does the ball joint side just fit back in or does it have to be pressed? I’ve heard both

@Davethemechanic305

No pressing

Also will I need power tools or can I just use free handtools

Sorry for the late reply im sure you already have it figured out but you don't need power tools but if you plan to work on cars often it's a good investment

Thought you need to pre load your suspension and torque to specs without using an impact wrench

@Davethemechanic305

Hey that sounds awesome. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Goofed up cause you didn't torque while the suspension was loaded. That bushing will twist when lowered causing premature failure.

Beat me to the comment. There's a great 3 minute video called Suspension Bushing Preload that everyone should watch before doing these kinds of jobs after watching KZreadrs with varying qualifications. Not trying to rip on this particular channel, but most of the instructional videos I've watched this weekend were done by people that didn't have a clue why they were getting the results they got and oblivious what the short term results would likely be. ie: Premature bushing wear from not preloading bushings whether they realize the damage potential or not.

Thats 100% correct...

You fellas that do these videos on control arms never explain the problem that caused you to have to change them. That doesn't help us figure out if we need to change ours.

@Davethemechanic305

Well control arms are solid steel so it you have to replace one it's more than like the only part that can go bad the ball joints or composite bushings (if there is one). You will usually notice either noise or vibration when going over a certain speed or when the wheel is jacked off the ground the tire might have excessive play due to bad ball joint

Good job not putting any wood blocks or car braces to secure the car..
