You do a good job
I wasn’t going to do this on my car but while replacing the axel the lower control arm decided it didn’t want to come off and also that it wanted to strip. Time to cut it off and put a new one. Thank you for the video
Just got mine can’t wait to install them
Great video. Always clear and concise. Thank you
If unless you have done this before, take pictures from all angles in particular, placement of bushings drivers side and passengers side. Bushings MUST be oriented correctly including distance pushed on to the control arm. The center is off set, the distance of the bushing case is not centered side to side with one side extending a 1/4 inch more from center. Take pictures! Use of a pickle fork FIRST for both inner and out ball joints with at least a 5 lbs sledge hammer, 12 or 20 hard blows will free them! Getting the bushing out of the bushing holder will likely be your next challenge. I cut with a saws all thru the center, carful not to cut into the bushing holder it's self in order to collapse the pressed on bushing in order to pull them out and that wasn't easy either but it worked! Most if not all video's for this task, E46 left out need to know details or lacked with more detail for removal processes in the several videos I have watched on KZread, including the E36 also I have, a removal of an entire rear suspension system in order to replace rear wheel bearings.. Glad I didn't follow his advise!
Helpful video
1A Auto do you have any videos on replacing upper control arms in 2000 GMC Jimmy Diamond Edition 4x4 it's basically the same as a 2000 Chevy S10 Blazer. I've found plenty of rear wheel Drv S10's but nothing for a 4x4.
