- New Rear Control Arms For My Smart ForTwo 450 | Has That Fixed The Knocking?
Legends! Remember that time when my Smart ForTwo 450 went bang? I do ... thankfully Dad was on hand to rebuild the entire engine. But we didn't touch the gearbox.
The series is on the Channel ... But if you fancy more smart car woes ... here it is.
After a recent video trying to diagnose gearbox faults ... Dad noticed a knocking from the rear of the car and discovered the rear control arm bushes were totally broken. In this video. We replace them!

I agree 😊
Well done Pete and Jon you have both worked hard again and enjoyed the banter! Great to see a easy fix and the smart will be back driving at its best
All the best to you all Daniel
Thanks 😊
A other great video guys👌💪👌 love to meet you both, your dad go's in to great detail what he's doing 💪👌👌 love it ,thxs again, take care👌👌
Thanks 👍
Cracking work keep noise free for while😊. It kinda reminds me of the doing control arms on my a4 b6 getting them all lined up. So there is no tension on them.
Excellent! 😊
Excellent nice easy fix, that's what I like at my time of life Jon , 😁 👍
Thanks 👍
I had Chicken, Pork doesn't agree with me 😂. Nice work "Dad" you never let us down or your son 😎.
☺️☺️
Hmm, just did this job and didn’t think to remove the X brace, I removed the rear panels/ crash bar/ exhaust instead. This makes more sense!
Next time 🤣🤣
Just get it welding the bk box £30 tops. Happy days
Ah the baffles in the exhaust are pretty knackered so it's going to be a new one in the end 😃
dads better than superman lol
Absolutely
Amazing that only took 40 minutes.
Dad's on it 🤣
From personal experience the paint/powder coat finish on those aftermarket arms is not good, so you might want to get some underbody wax (e.g. dinitrol) on them sooner rather than later. After a couple of years mine were so rusty with very deep pitting that I changed them again even though the bushes were ok. Also the genuine Mercedes fron disc shields I fitted three years ago are completely rotted at the bottom, so even genuine parts can be poor quality these days 😡
Great idea! Will be under sealing this car soon also 😊
Great video, guys. I was wondering, why are the front wheels set so far inside the arches? Looks like it could do with some spacers up front?🤔😀
Front needs some new shocks absorbers we think ☺️ I've bought them ... They just need fitting 🤣
Surely its lamb on Easter Sunday?
For reference I did pork ha ha ha ha ha
🤣🤣
Wo try that on a mondeo 😂
I bet it's not as much of an easy job? 😊
Have the people opposite your dad got a MK1 Citroen C5? :O 2:34
They certainly have
