Did this a few days ago, it's easy on the side shown in the clip, on the other side the engine needs to be jacked out of the way meaning the rear engine mount needs to be loosen.

My new arms from Detroit Axle do not have pins. It came with self locking nuts.

Great! Thanks!

Thank you very much for the video, Imma try to replace the control arm myself, first time doing that. I've done other things. I just love learning.

Ok. Now show the passenger side. :P

I looked up this video to see how hard it would be... easiest co trip arm I’ve changed 👌🏼. I did a 2015 rav 4 last week on both side and I thought I was never going to get it done. Had to lower the whole subframe all around and still had to stand on top of a big as pry bar while I removed the bolt that was coming into contact with the motor 😬

Nice video. Do you have one showing this job on the right side of a 2013 Suzuki Alto. Thank you.

Does anyone know if this wishbone fits 2010 toyota ractis also? they look very similar online.

after this work, would wheel alignment be necessary ?

Very helpful video . No alignment needed after control arm change ??

Yes, after any work related to the suspension of the car, it is recommended to correct the alignment camber. AUTODOC

Very professional video. Who originally made this video? I can now go out there and do this smoothly and with confidence. I already have it on my flat bottom jacking self locking jack stands. The wheels are off and it is waiting patiently for me. Got my PB Blaster to soak the bolt first. She gonna be tight, I need some lube. :)

Hi great video, but now I have a problem the wheel alignment is out. Or to put it another way when driving in a straight line the steering wheel is offset. How do I correct this as all I've done is replace the suspension arm. Thanks

Thank you for your comment! We replaced it because of the worn-out arm bushings, it was clearly noticeable when diagnosing the suspension. We also have a video on our channel, in which we talk about the first symptoms of wear on suspension elements kzread.info/dash/bejne/c2xqyMuNoZDWl6w.html Best Regards, Autodoc team

Why jacking up the front suspension before tightening the two bolts on the control arm?? I did mine without the jacking up and now have loud click sound anytime i roll on uneven surfaces.

You will very likely need a ball joint separator for this job, FYI.

You can just hit the control arm with a hammer and it’ll shake loose 👌🏼

Its easy on hatchback , try that on a sedan and we talk after that , its not working like that trust me

If only it was this easy! I tried to do this job on my Yaris and the horizontal front bolt was broken off inside the subframe!! Absolutely inaccessible. I have to try and find someone to do the work on it and possibly get a new K Frame installed :(

Ha ha... yeah... I know what you mean! I'm from Canada where we dump salt on our roads 6 months of the year. A similar video of me doing this job working on my echo would have to be an epic 6 part miniseries. Each bolt removed successfully would be the climax of the episode, celebrated with champagne and an evening soak in the hot tub.

One of the main reasons for the replacement is the failure of the ball and silent blocks, and the deformation of the lever itself.

Passenger side requires loosening motor mounts and raising engine 1/2" to slide contol arm in place. Manual says remove windshield wipers and a bunch of other stuff off the firewall. Not necessary if you just raise the engine a little bit. Motor mounts are on top of the engine. The video does not show the slot in the rear mounting point of the control arm that must match up to the chassis for the part to slide into place. Very important.
