Why can't all videos about working on vehicles be like this, great job, saving for later

Thank you for this video . I replaced the upper control arms and struts and it went flawlessly. Keep the videos coming

Throughout this video I’ve had to run to the hardware store several times to get this done 😂

Well done video! Very clean, clear and quick directions!! Good work! Thanks!

This has to be the best straight forward video on KZread..good job sir and thank you 🙏

Thx a TON TRQ! My drivers side boot around the ball joint was torn and starting to get hazardous. Installed today, off for alignment tomorrow! I’ll have my mechanic double check my torque tightness too just to be good.

Very good bideo thanks

By far you are the smartest guy showing how easy this job is Thank you . I can not say the same for the cat over at OPR who was removeing way to many components than necessary thanks guy I don't think so remove the brake caliper remove the knuckle no lets do 10 times more work the only knuckle that needs to removed is you duh knuckle head.

Fácil y rápido 😃👌

What do you if your top strut nut is just spinning while you try to loosen it? I tried gripping the piston below with some channel locks but it still just spins. Im trying to finish this today since I have to be at work on Monday so any help is greatly appreciated.

Holy rust !

Looks like they got a new shock, tie rod, and a control arm.

Rust "Pure Michigan" I live in Michigan this state destroys vehicles!

Your awesome

For those wondering, same process for 4wd models. Axle doesnt have to come out

So what if I don’t use copper anti seize? And what if I use the sliver one instead?

Do I need to preload before torquing the control arm?

I was always told to have the weight of the vehicle ON BEFORE torqueing the lower control arm bolt to 315...this was not apparent in the video..correct me if Im wrong

Do you have to remove the strut?

Great video very well done I love how you give the torque specs for each bolt but I didn't catch the torque spec for the nuts holding the top of the strut assembly I think you missed that one.

I believe the torque spec for those bolts is 35 ft lbs.

How much torque is needed on the upper strut bolts?

Great video! I'm guessing that truck spent most of its life up north. Serious rust problem. 😳

Question , after I did exactly what you did would I have to take my truck to get a wheel alignment or am I good just driving it after replacing the control arm ?

+Z Ab It is always recommended to get an alignment after replacing any suspension parts.

Wish I could this to my veracurl

Do you need to do an alignment after replacing the arms?

+Camaro Jay It is good to check your alignment afterwards

Will this be any different on a 4wd model

@robbbenedict

3 жыл бұрын

There's no front axle to deal with, which makes shock removal a bit easier.

Can I use 4wd control arms on a 2wd ?

Is this 2 wheel drive ?

What do you torque the 3 top strut nuts to?

@Scratcher25

35 foot pounds

How many hours of work for do this job

Anyone have thoughts on him tightening the upper control arm bolts before letting the weight sit on it? Is eyeballing it so that it's pretty much level with the ground good enough? Certainly would be easier to tighten it before putting the strut back in

I too noticed this, im a huge advocate of preloading suspension.

How must would this part and labor cost me?

Only difference I would have done was thread lock after bolt in. Never seize before but the lock could just come off in bushing

The amount of rust on that truck is insane

Forgot the top shock torque lbs.. if you could plz let us know

In another video is said 35 ft lbs

Don't forget to get you a alignment

How long should it take a mechanic to do this job? A shop quoted me for 2hrs labor.

+Dj salty nuts Thanks for the tip!

my 04 looks nothing like this

You forgot to add the 30ml socket on the tool list

Do I need to buy the arm or can I just buy the ball joint? Sorry I'm new to this 😅

@TRQ

+SenpaiiMax You can just buy the ball joints instead of the control arms.

@robbbenedict

3 жыл бұрын

You have to press the ball joint out and in, which is quite sketchy without a safe press (caged) to operate.

Where was the axle??

@robbbenedict

2wd maybe?

So WTF I never seen the cv axel the entire time, what a gravy job without having to deal with that.
