It must be so nice to work on cars in the south. I would cry tears of joy I'd it were that easy.
1) the weight needs to taken of the spring hence why it was difficult to get the bolt out. 2) use a sharpie for camber nut alignment marks. Not a big wide crayon. 3) vehicle needs to be on its wheels before torqueing down as it will put to much pressure on the bushes leading to premature failure.
What a crazy clearance over the wheel! It shouldn't be torqued on the lift
This mechanic is awesome! Informative and A great help!!

It is a very dangerous job and it can be fatal.
Thank you so much for this video درود بر شما متشکرم اقا
My brain broke when he lifted the car to relieve the spring pressure instead of lowering the jack further. So simple... why have I never thought of this?
*why was the old arm changed out, looked pretty good*
Is it not better practice to put weight on the vehicle before torqueing the bolts so the bushings don't sit under constant torsional load?
Those 18yo bolts are so shiny!! Seriously could you do a job that involves the actual bolts you'd find and how to remove them?
excellent explanation ❤❤ thaank you slk much
guys, honestly, what is the point to show how to remove 4 common sense bolts, when the actual issue is that those bolt simply dont come out?
what if my alignment bolt is stuck and feely rotates but will not come out or even budge
When do old bolts look like that...mine are corroded tf - need a video about how to do that 😅
Thanks for the vid. I couldn't help but notice the sway bar is absent. Is it only installed on certain vehicles?
What does the rubber pumper do that you mentioned? I noticed mine doesn't have one and have been wondering what the metal nub is on top of it.
I have watched numerous videos of this type of repair,but no one sets up the ride height as directed in the Ford workshop manual,placing a 112mm spacer between the lower arm by the rubber bump stop and the bottom part of the subframe.Why ???
THANK YOU!!!!!
You cueatex: no rear sway bar and the outer bolt was not rusted solid to the arm bushing.
Hi thanks for doing this video. I have a 07 ford edge. That needs these pieces replaced. Is the process same as the demonstration on ford focus you done here ?
Torque under load? I gave the control arm a few full pumps with the jack to load the suspension when it almost lifted off jack stand. hope Im good ..... OPinions.
The smaller rear lower control arm bolt that bolts into the rear knuckle near the brake drum keeps spinning and won't come out removed the nut and bolt on the chassis side no problem there , the nut is off and it got soak with about two gallon of WD 40 and the stupid bolt won't come out any suggestions help would be deeply appreciated

+ANDY WAN Thanks for checking us out. If the bolt is stuck in there you may want to attempt to apply some heat in order to loosen it a little bit and you may also want to take a look into using a drill and boring out the bolt and trying to remove it that way.

It’s been 4 years. I hope you have tried 5 gallons of WD 40 as that usually solves my problems. Thanks.
coulda just put bushings in no other part needed.
Are these rear parts universal to be used or rear Right or Left wheel for suspension purposes?

Camber bolt is speacial and sold as singles. All other mounting bolts are M12 coarse thread. 1.75 × 65mm Flange. ☆I used 70 mm Hex bolt with washer because Flange bolts were sold out
That bolt you marked is for toe or camber adjustment? Thanks.

This model doesn't have a sway bar link attached to the rearward lower control arm. 🙄
11:19, rear driver side is not touching lift point. Hmmm???
Why was it replaced? Appears Okay!
Does it include those coils too? Idk where to buy them

Ah, Cheaty McCheaterson here used a car with no rear sway bar so he could skip a step that's rather important for the rest of us.

Sorry guy, why was it replaced? Old one apears to be in good shape
Is there any reason why you wouldn't use a coil spring compressor in this situation?

Cos they're a pain in the butt and you really need one of those special macpherson spring compressors to get into the space
The one reason that I watched this clip was to see how to align the arm to the hub and bolt. And guess what? The video stopped just before and then BAM you managed to do it off camera. I have to do this on the floor of my garage I do not have a lift...you could have struggled with it on camera Major waste of time....
