Good, straightforward video that included the torque specs. Thanks!

Glad I saw this beforehand. I see you used a hammer instead of a pickle fork. Thatll save me money.

[@lolosgaragediy7090]

I usually use the correct tool, but it didn’t fit. Use some wd40 or something, so you dont have to hit it so much.

You make this look too easy ❤

GOOD

Es una gran ayuda para cambiar los trapecios. Gracias ya tengo para ver y cambiar los míos 😅

[@lolosgaragediy7090]

Me alegra ser de ayuda! 👍

Straightforward, until you get to the frozen-in-the-bushing control arm bolt that make this impossible for a driveway mechanic! Another classic all-day "30 Minute" job.

[@lolosgaragediy7090]

Yeah, that’s a coin toss, any job can turn into a nightmare. Hope everything went well.

great video, should the ball joints be replaced also?

[@lolosgaragediy7090]

Thanks!, these control arms come with the ball joints, so you’re replacing the control arm, bushings and ball joint.

Gran vídeo, una pregunta he cambiado rotulas, barras estabilizadoras y castillos. Me siguen sonando cuando paso por una elevación. Puedes ser los trapecios? Gracias

[@lolosgaragediy7090]

Es difícil diagnosticar estos tipos de ruidos, todas estas piezas trabajan en conjunto. Normalmente si los ruidos vienen por cambio de elevación son causados por el sistema de suspensión pero, me he topado con barras direccionales o “tie rods” tan malos que los cambios de elevación también los afecta. Perdona que no fui de ayuda con esta pregunta, es que es difícil sin inspeccionar visual y fisicamente. Gracias por ver el video y su comentario.

The bolt that runs horizontal is torqued to 73-87 lbs?

[@lolosgaragediy7090]

Yes, the lower control arm to sub frame bolt (front). The rear bolt 115-130 ft-lbs. Ball joint nut to 45ft-lbs

[@romeaurelius8515]

So, you don't have to hang the caliper and remove the brake disk?

[@lolosgaragediy7090]

No, just disconnect the ball joint from the knuckle. The shock absorber, tie rod end and sway bar link keep everything in place.

And please use jack stands!
