Great video! Short, no music, his speech is easy to understand, he includes the torque settings. Well done
How was that well done what happens when the Allen key keeps twisting while you’re taking the nut out and cannot fit any Allen key inside? I didn’t see him explain that please enlighten me.
You probably just saved me two hours of work. Other videos show that you have to take off the brakes, the rotor, disconnect everything from the struts. You took out three nuts and used a pickle fork.
Thank you
Wish more people did videos like this you got right to the point got it fixed pointed out all the important things and moved along good job
I like how every other car videos like 25m long for a easy job this guy does it right good work
Ooh, I'm sorry. I just realized I'm supposed to have some long drawn out beginning, and ending, tell you to like, and subscribe, because you really give a s##t, stretch the video out over 10 minutes, so I can pack it full of ads, get paid the most for your time, and have my analytics go up because your eyes are glued to an extra 15 minutes of nonsense. I plumb forgot about all that.
@@RustBeltAuto i was saying other people videos are long and ad packed i like yours dude......
@@BrotherTay that was my point too. 😁
“OK BYE” lol
3 years later, this video still helps people save money and learn. thank you for that
Very professional work.
Clear picture.
I'm getting better at this video stuff. Thanks!
This was a really great video. Great view of your procedure and good commentary. Thanks for sharing!
Also love how you tell us the torque specs on the control arm bolts and then just hit it with the impact lol
Yours is by far the most helpful video on these control arms.
BTW: The torque spec calls for using a crowsfoot to the torque given plus an additional ½ rotation (180°) of the nut. I'm not going to buy the 18mm ½" drive crowsfoot for this one use, common sense will suffice. THANKS AGAIN MAN!
Great video. Thank you for getting to each step without telling endless stories.
Short and to the point, love it.
If you remove the axle nut and remove the axle to get at the ball joint nut, then you can put a torque wrench on it. However, sometimes that's easier said than done.
True. But he said in the video he could not get the half shaft out
best video yet!!! Doing mine tomorrow!!!
Good stuff brother, much appreciated. Okay bye.
i just learned how to do control arms in 5 minutes
Great video thank you
awesome job
I laughed when he said let's give it a little vice grip action 🤓
I gave you the like just for intro
Yo!
I read through majority of these comments and not once did I hear or see anybody say anything about what happens when you have to put an Allen key inside without having to move the axle let’s make it a little easier for people besides cutting shit off like I did any ideas please let me know because it will be the sixth one I work on.
Now it sounds better than it looks. Lol that's funny 🤣
This fuckin guy.. holy hell. Thank you!
I have the exact model. Exact color. Exact year. Lol thanks man.
Why wouldy sway bar be rubbing on my control arm driver side is all new could it be pass strut bad could cause problem
Look at the other side.
You can use a crowfoot wrench to torque
Crowfoots on torque wrenches need to be used at a 90 degree angle, otherwise the torque measurement will be wrong. There is a mathematical equation for torque multiplication that needs to be used in order to factor in the leverage. If in fact that is what you are talking about.
@@RustBeltAuto Yes I was. I move my axle out the way and just torque it normally. I have my lower control arms coming soon. Thanks a lot for posting this vid. I see the install won't be that bad.
Someone got hungry and ate a piece of the fender.
Do you need an alignment after this?
Yes.
Hello , where are you, is it available to find you to fix a Cadillac
I'm not available.
Very good, very good work, but it is more difficult to do the passenger side.
Ok bye haha very good thanks
OK, bye!
Do you specialize in Dodge caravans?
I specialize in fixing broken junk.
@@RustBeltAuto I take that as a yes.
