- This is part 2 of replacing the front lower control arm of the Range Rover L322, which is part of the L322 Range Rover suspension. Previously, I struggled with the removal of the ball joint, but in this video, I finally succeeded in removing the ball joint on our Range Rover L322.
To watch part 1 of us attempting to remove the ball joint of the front lower control arm on our Range Rover L322, click on the link below:

Great job congratulations. Looking forward to the next video.
Hi Neil! Thank you so much for your support! It truly means a lot👍🏻
Well done. Glad you got it sorted!
Hi Ant, thanks so much for the support and encouragement! 😊 It was a big relief! 👍🏻There was a point where I thought it would never work but I'm glad I kept at it!
I think you did very well on this one! The hammer I use is a builders club hammer, it gives much more shock than the little carpenters claw hammer you used at first, to give the same amount of energy to the knuckle joint with a small hammer you would need to move the hammer at a much higher speed, not easy when there are other things in the way, but a 2 Kg hammer can move much slower and give greater shock, you did the job with perseverance ,that is good! Stay safe! Chris B.
Hi Chris, hope you're well.😊 Thank you so much for your support and encouragement and your advice. I will be looking at the hammer you're referring to because I think it will help in future projects, and you're absolutely spot on with regards to no space and needing a heavier hammer. To be honest with you, I was reluctant to hammer the knuckle as I was worried that I'd damage the knuckle itself as well as other rubber parts that were surrounding it, that if I had missed the knuckle it could've turned into a bad day! Keep in touch. 👍🏻Fahed
@@lifeasusual Yes we are well down here in the south of France, and I am really pleased to see you have removed that ball joint, the problem is, when you have not done it before you are really worried about damaging things, but with a small hammer you really need to move the hammer fast, and therefore inaccurately, to get the same effect that a club hammer will give you, I hope you do not have to replace the other side any time soon, but you will be well prepared to tackle it! Stay safe! Chris B.
Hey dude just did the full front end and - THANKYOU - you made it a simple job and easy to follow your instruction.......Thankyou.
Hey Andrew!! Massive well done, thanks for your positive feedback! 👍🏻 I'm so happy that the video was helpful and easy to follow! Onto the next job! 😁
Glad you got it done! Don’t use power tools when cleaning joints though, to much material can be removed and cause the arm to fit loose when fitting the new part!
Hi Craig, thanks very much for your support, great advice! 👌🏻 I'll absolutely keep this in mind for the future, but just wanted to let you know that I only used it to remove the surface rust. It is much faster than hand tools. 😁 Take care and keep in touch!
Well done! You can get extra sarcasm points by saying "CLICK" when you use a spanner instead of a torque wrench. Putting the torque values is really helpful as well. If you are not already, I suggest joining full fat range rover forum- great bunch of people with a real wealth of experience. I'm not affiliated but I learned a lot and hopefully contributed some too! Keep them coming. The last edition L322 is my favourite Range Rover! Thank you.
Thank you Stephen! 😊 No, I'm actually not part of the full fat range rover forum but I'll definitely check it out! 👍🏻 Thanks for the feedback, I'm really glad that you're finding the notes on the torque values helpful! 😀
Glad it’s sorted. Definitely buy some bigger hammers, make sure there engineers ball pein type, they have a steel head designed for heavy strikes on steel, other hammers such as claw hammers can sometimes chip and bits fly off on heavy hits on steel.
Also get a spray bottle and 50/50 mix Acetone and ATF, works better than any other wd40 type stuff.
Lastly whenever iv worked on suspension iv always left battery on, just when you first fire it up put it into off road mode then access mode then back to road height and it normally sorts itself out.
Also get a few cans of spray on chain wax, very cheap stuff, normally about £3-4 a can, whenever your under car or in wheel arch just give it a quick wire brush and spray, it’s full of anti corrosive additives and sticks doesn’t wash off so it’s a great cheap rust proofer.
Hi Richard, apologies for the late reply. Thank you so much for your support. 👍🏻 I will definitely look into buying the hammer that you're referring to. Thank you for all the recommendations and pieces of advice you've given me, I'll try your techniques and put them to the test to see the differences in the future. 😁
i have to change my Chassis Lateral Arm because it is bent due to a hit. would i need to change anything else?
Hi Julio, I would definitely recommend inspecting the full suspension and replacing everything that is broken. Hope this helps! 😀👍🏻
did you buy a hammer
Hi Stephen, I only used the products that I show in the video, nothing more. But in the future I think I should buy a more heavy duty hammer 👍🏻
I leave that job to the experts 😅
Hahaha, I thought you're the expert! 😜
@@lifeasusual I know my limits
I dont know what all the fuss is about on them height sensors, i removed the whole engine on the ground to replace the turbos and everything went perfect when i started it up
Hi Sami, well done on removing the engine and sorting out the turbos! Glad to hear you had no issues 😊
