Awesome. Glad you found the bad part. Let me see what I can do for a video. The main problem is in winter, I cannot film as it is too cold and freezes up my equipment. But maybe I can put something together for you. I will keep you posted.
@@NexusAuto how hard is it to rebolt the subframe it appears that the 4 bolts have a nut on the bolts and I don't know how to get two the other side of those bolts
@@jamesmartin3625 those bolts are for the lateral links themselves. There is actually 4 bolts that go up into the frame itself. You can see them around the 1:34 mark. They go straight up. I believe you have to loosen the trailing arm and those 4 bolts, and the suffrage should drop down enough to get to those 4 nuts and bolts you are talking about.
@@NexusAuto yes those four nuts that go straight up to the sub frame appears to have a nut on the inside of the sub frame... If I just loosen them and not take them all the way out will I have enough room to get the bolts out of the lateral links
Hey bro what is the part called or part number for the front rear passenger lateral link i need to replace mine but we dont know what part it is and autozone has no idea what part to sell me. I have a 2003 pontiac grand prix 3.8 v6 sc
Lateral link is the correct turn, but some places interchange the terms 'rearward and forward control arm' or 'rearward and forward trailing arm'. Here is some part numbers. Hope it helps. Forward Lateral Link (the one without the adjustment threads) - AC Delco 45G36014 Rearward Lateral Link - (the one with the adjustment thread) - AC Delco 45G36010 Hopefully they will be able to cross reference the parts to either a factory unit or something aftermarket for you.
@@NexusAuto dude huge help i appreciate the help. any chance u got a video on how to replace? If not do you have to drop the subframe to change it or can you work around it
@@zavageone Unfortunately, I dont have a video at this time on ohw to change the lateral links. I can confirm that you do need to drop the rear subframe, as the gas tank and some of the frame is in the way of the upper lateral nuts and bolts. You will need an alignment afterwards as well.
@@lunapark9395 they are pretty much universal for the wbody cars. I haven't checked every model (Grand Prix, older Impalas, Olds Intrigue, etc), but generally they are about the same. Would be a good idea to double check fitment before getting one from another w-body.
this will help me so much thank you
You're welcome. Happy to hear the video helped out!
You have very good movies about all these nice grand prixs but i was wondering do you have one about the grand prix rear struts
Not yet, but I do plan on having videos in the future. Thanks for the great feedback on my other videos
Do you have a video on how to actually change the lateral link
Unfortunately, I never did make one. I plan to, but it will be some time from now. Sorry I do not have one at this time.
Hey nexus see how you were measuring if there’s any bends in my car I found the problem and that piece is pretty bent
Have ever change the reinforcement on a 05 grand Prix the back
Back reinforcement, as in, the rear bumper?
Hey so I found out it was the right lateral link could u make a video of how to take it off basically replacing it please thank. You

How would I change them if they break... Do I have to drop the gas tank?
you can drop the subframe. there are bolts (4, if I remember) that hold it up to the frame of the car.

I could be wrong though. I haven't checked it in a while. I will recheck and let you know

What's the name of the bar you put the jack stand on?
Those are called trailing arms
@@NexusAuto ok because someone hit my car and it looks like that's what's bent on my 2008 impala..are they universal?

Currently about to change both our rear lateral links. Does anyone know what size the bolts on the bushing are ???
Sorry for the late reply, was away for a bit. It looks like you were about to start the job. Do you still need assistance?
You will need 21mm and 22mm wrenches and sockets
