2016 Ford Mustang Upper Control Arm Remove and Replace

Quick video replacing a control arm on my mustang. This thing was causing a loud thumping sound when I was slowing down and when it came to a complete stop. I hope you find this video useful , and I’ll see y’all on the next one!

You do a great job of explaining how to remove and replace the control arm. Even a newbe could do the job. Keep on posting your videos, they are great.

Awesome! Thanks for watching, more stuff coming soon 😁

As another guy commented: the bolt on the chassis side shall only be hand tightened.
Then put something under the wheel and let the car down a bit so there is load on the suspension.
Only then tighten the bold completely - and of course to the correct torque of 250 Nm.

Good video. Thank you. I especially liked when you threw the old arm on the floor in disgust. :) good comments too on using proper torque and loaded suspension. Super helpful

[@AutoWizard94]

lol yup bushings gave up on me, glad you enjoyed the video ✌️

[@davelazaro846]

Great to hear some of the problems that could come up. Great vid.

[@AutoWizard94]

Thank you bro , I’m glad you found it useful. I’m just sharing my experience, thanks for watching 🤟

[@luisespinoza5695]

Great video man thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍👍👍

[@AutoWizard94]

Thank you bro I appreciate it

[@MrAlternation]

Why didn't you use torque specs? Also I thought you were suppose to tighten the last bolt while the suspension is loaded

[@paulinagrey6531]

Very helpful 😭 I wish I knew before taking mine to the shop 😒

[@jimcooper5392]

Very informative for what it was. Problem is that's not what the search reveled for a REAR UPPER control arm. Not rear and not upper either. ;-)

[@eduardojacobo2993]

First! Lol good stuff bro! 🤙

[@AutoWizard94]

Thanks bro! 🙏

184ft lbs in the back how many pounds in the front?

[@LEOHMUSIC18]

Your channel is 🔥 i have a Dodge Challenger 2020 and a rock came in chipped my headlight bezel while i was driving and now it’s loose and chipped what do i do?

[@AutoWizard94]

Thanks man I appreciate it... you can pop it out and get it resprayed if it need color, then pop it back in. Bumper may need removal to access it

[@user-kg9iz4oo7j]

I appreciate it, I believe that is the problem with my granddaughters mustang, it pop, or thumps when you turn the wheel back and forth. Seems like only on the right side, Thanks

[@AutoWizard94]

Did it work? Thanks for watching

[@hollandk1454]

You're going to be doing this all over again in a few months. That back bolt needs to be torqued to 184 ft lbs with the suspension loaded

[@MustangGuru]

That inner bolt was supposed to have torqued under load as if car was on the ground.

[@jeremycastillo9040]

can you share the part numbers for the right and left side??

[@AutoWizard94]

www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2016,mustang,3.7l+v6,3340758
I don’t remember the part numbers but this is the site I used. Input your car facts and it’ll pull them up

[@tf2heavy2]

Do I have to lift it up like you or can i do it on jacks?

[@AutoWizard94]

You can do it on Jack’s , I just have access to the machinery. Makes everything easier 👌

[@grandinfinite5921]

Why haven't you gotten one piece replacement lugnuts? They sell them individually at almost any autoparts store.

[@AutoWizard94]

You are right, I’ve just been procrastinating lol

[@stevenmartinez7267]

if my left lower ball joint is loose. what do i replace. 2016 mustang gt btw. help!

[@AutoWizard94]

I don’t think they sell just the ball joints you gotta buy the arms , all sold individually with ball joint

[@Phantomas2011]

Did u have to do an alignment???

[@AutoWizard94]

I didn’t but I’d recommend it. It’s my personal vehicle so I just strictly did the removal and replace

[@davidl7354]

Lug nuts ain't too expensive

[@AutoWizard94]

Cash flow low, it’s my car anyway
