I never take the time to post video comments but I really appreciate your videos man. You make knowing how to diagnose and fix all this on my 05 Lancer Es so much more simple. Keep up the good video work.
Your mechanical aptitude is amazing. You keep yourself calm n composed as you work n seem to be enjoying it. That's bec you know what you're doing. Did you know there's a Safety Recall involving Lancers and that Control Arm you're working on. It's about rusting control arms that eventually fails.
1. It's old, and it's got about 160,000+ miles on it. 2. It's in Minnesota, we got snow every year and we use salt a lot. (Salt is bad for metal) 3. I drive like I play Need For Speed. LOL Yea.
You've got talent, man. We have the same car, except mine is manual. I'll hopefully be doing an Outer tie-rod replacement video, and possibly a torque mount video as well. Either way, thanks for the tutorials!
Sup your seem to be the person to ask about the Lancer. hard to find INFO on it. Have few Question need to ask. 1) the Strud Bar, at 5:47 you reassemble it all back, how tide you have to tide the nut?? I'm about to change my, my broke off a while back on both side. 2) AC Sensor, if you turn the AC to max, and look at the AC Sensor under the Hood, there should be a clear glass looking sensor, my have bubble running in there, is it normal? or is it time for me to recharge the AC? i own the car for 11 years and not much hardcore tune up i did no it. beside the oil change and spark plug, Thank You.
1. Screw the nut in until you see the bolt coming through the nut. 2. It is normal. Are you having this trouble also?: Lancer Fix | Changing A/C Heater Control Gears - Ep.4
Thx for the respond. Yes i also have that problem as well. since day one i got the vehicle. just didn't bother me much, so did not change it. so the AC liquid suppose to be Bubbling??
lol dude i have the same car and i love working on it myself, right now my timing belt had gone so i am replacing it right now, i got myself some cheap electric power tools, works good enough, i think i will put up a post man.
Great video, but I don't think I saw Jack stands for safety. It seems like Mitsubishi's are designed very similarly with other videos on control arm replacements are the same. There aren't a whole lot of videos on the 4g eclipse but everything looks the same. Thanks!
I think, if you are talking about the horizontal bolt with the captured nut inside the frame, then you already know what the risk could be. I did my control arms exactly like his video and it went as smoothly as his but my car has no rust. I did use the tire jack to lift the gearbox instead of a pry bar. All of the people with serious problems seemed to be from Canada or the northeast and have rust problems. There is no way to know if the bolt will fall in until you try the job. Good Luck.
***** No, it will not effect the steering wheel. If your steering wheel is off to the right, you will need an alignment. Also, if you mean that when you step on gas and the steering wheel wants to turn right by itself, it means that the steering rag is bad. I have the same problem, Most Lancers do have this problem I noticed.
you ever find a tool to remove the hub other than a hammer and socket, if not what size socket were you pounding that out with, I have alot of words, very inappropriate words at this moment about my feelings and this hub ... and btw, thanx. loving your videso
I know this was done a year ago but have you had any problems with the left control you bought from ebay I've heard suspension parts are terrible from ebay and is you Lancer a 5 speed or automatic. Your video reminds me of Jafromobile. Very straightforward easy to follow video. props
you are a lifesaver! but do you have any idea how many control arms a 2003 lancer OZ has? I'm trying to buy all to change all but i don't know. after seeing your video i figure you, or someone in the audience, might! lol thanks ahead of time and thanks for the video!
Hi, I just bought a Delphi control arm for my 2006 lancer ralliart, but I can move the ball joint with my hand (doesn´t need a lot of pressure). I asked for a replacement but the new one has the same issue. So, since the control arm u installed should be the same as mine (not the same brand), do u remember if the ball joint was like this? or it was more stiff (almost impossible to move by hand)? Thanks
Buenos dias, e visto varios videos de usted, y me gustaria saber si es posible aplicar estas reparaciones en el Lancer Cedia GDI, seria de mucha ayuda, gracias por los videos
I would suggest you to buy the whole set. It is cheaper that way and you won't have to buy more when you need the other ones. You will most likely need 12mm 14mm 17mm 19mm cheers
hey The DarkDragonWing , whenever I go through some little holes on the road, I can hear metal knocking sound on my driver side. which part of the wheel contributes to that sound? just name out all the possibility! thank!!! (installing 4 struts and inner tie rod end next week when my parts arrive)
Hey man I like your video,I have a question I recently install coilover But everytime I hit little deep bump or dip it make a popping noise from the front. It sound like metal to metal any tips I should check at it? Bc coilover lancer gts
Where did you buy your lower control arm? What size socket did you use for your CV axle end NUT a 30mm? or 32mm? Do you know what size are the Mitsubishi lancer CJ ES 2010 use? Im Viet too :)
Sorry I don't know much about the tools, I would say buy the whole set. I bought the control arm from eBay.com Like this pair that fits my car: www.ebay.com/itm/02-07-Mitsubishi-Lancer-Front-Control-Arm-with-Ball-Joint-Pair-Set-Kit-New-/370885431629?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ALancer|Submodel%3AES|Year%3A2003&hash=item565a7e914d&vxp=mtr cheers
Hi Mackey, I have a 2005 Lancer ES, and it seems when I drive and let go of the gas pedal I hear a rumbling sound. But when I step on the gas pedal again the sound disappears. Does that mean my control arms are bad/worn/damaged? Any advice will help. Thanks!
Could you show a moderate video or explanation of the rear side alignment parts of your car? I have a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer ES 1.6L Automatic & my tires are getting bold from the inside thread, my outside outer thread is ok. Thank You Awaiting For Your Prosperous Response from You Or Anyone Please...
Hey man I need help with my lancer it's an 03 ...what I need is starting like when I crank the engine it won't start ...i bought new spark plugs n the wires n bought a new fuel pump n battery ..n yet it won't start
How are you Mickey hope fine. ....... I have Mitsubishi Lancer 2005 but I have an issue with its oil pump where is it located 1.3 liter 4G13 engine waiting for your reply
+wut wat uhh i bought mine for 35 from oriley's auto parts ball joint was going to be 20 then the guy said might as well get the whole thing because it had new bushings.
I hit a curb as well and my passenger tire wont turn like my other tires would.. i bought a new lower arm cuz it was bent.. bt when i turn my wheel it makes a clocking sound.. so im trying to figure out whats making that clicking noise
Evan93 It cost me $35 for the control arm in this video. Also, if I change the front axle, it would cost me only $50. So it should have cost me $85 instead of $900 if I have done it myself. But.. it was just one of those unlucky days.
Great video Maggi. I'm about to do both lower control arms and CV axles in my 02 Lancer ES. It's a little rusty tho. I'm not looking forward to it. 170k miles on a Minnesota car. How many miles are on yours? Does your car see winter time driving?
This one is about 180k miles on a Minnesota snow and salt car. In some cases, the axle may be impossible to be removed from the knuckle by simply hammering on it. In that case, you can take the whole assembly to the shop and have them separate the axle and the knuckle using a high temp torch and a hydraulic press.
My car was broken into and the ignition lock cylinder was destroyed but for some reason I can't get the new one to install I've tried two so far now I'm trying to grind it to fit I don't get it it's the same lock cylinder any suggestions?
When it make noise, like a hammer noise, while driving. It means the ball joint is too loose. Here is how I check it. th-cam.com/video/NBb3ucb3bTQ/w-d-xo.html
DarkDragonWing hey man, just wondering if you ever experienced this. The inner side of the control arm where the bolt goes in horizontal. It turns very slightly but springs back up the opposite way. has that ever happened to you, or do you know what I could do to remove that bolt. its stuck in the pretty nice.

Yes! I think so. I'm looking at a very nice set of body kits and I think no one will be disappointed. Cheers!
No problem.
Cheers!
always a pleasure to see your vids men . great work. i will need to get me some more tools to work on my car myself.
1. It's old, and it's got about 160,000+ miles on it.
2. It's in Minnesota, we got snow every year and we use salt a lot. (Salt is bad for metal)
3. I drive like I play Need For Speed. LOL
Yea.
Have the same car a 2002 your videos has help me alot
I'm learning so much from your videos
:D Still working on it. I don't know when I will be done though. Kind of busy lately.
You are a very impressive mechanic
hey all... from trinidad and tobago dark i like your vids man...
Thank you! Cheers!
You've got talent, man. We have the same car, except mine is manual. I'll hopefully be doing an Outer tie-rod replacement video, and possibly a torque mount video as well. Either way, thanks for the tutorials!

Have u ever change out the sub frame on a lancer 2003 or similar if so any videos of how u did it?
Nope, I haven't done that before.
I'm in the same boat with you man .... NO AIR TOOLS!!! 20 times of pain 40 times of anger management lol
Cheers!

พี่เก่งมากเลยอะ ทำเองทุกอย่าง
Great video, but I don't think I saw Jack stands for safety. It seems like Mitsubishi's are designed very similarly with other videos on control arm replacements are the same. There aren't a whole lot of videos on the 4g eclipse but everything looks the same. Thanks!
I have the exact same car your videos are a blessing thanks soooooooo cool
Hello, when you changed ur control arms was there any bolt fasteners that went into the frame for the verticle bolt?
Yes. 4:19
Wow really? You know what I mean right, I feel like I didnot explain it enough.
There was one that bolts the control arm to the frame at 4:19
I think, if you are talking about the horizontal bolt with the captured nut inside the frame, then you already know what the risk could be. I did my control arms exactly like his video and it went as smoothly as his but my car has no rust. I did use the tire jack to lift the gearbox instead of a pry bar. All of the people with serious problems seemed to be from Canada or the northeast and have rust problems. There is no way to know if the bolt will fall in until you try the job. Good Luck.
When you bent your front axle did it effect the steering wheel. Like steering was off to the right?
***** No, it will not effect the steering wheel. If your steering wheel is off to the right, you will need an alignment. Also, if you mean that when you step on gas and the steering wheel wants to turn right by itself, it means that the steering rag is bad. I have the same problem, Most Lancers do have this problem I noticed.
4:28-4:45 how did you manage to get that control arm bolt out...i managed to un-thread it but cant slide it out...
คับ ให้ช่างทำเขาคิดค่าแรงแพงแถมอะไหล่ที่ร้านเขาก็แพงด้วย ทำเองหาอะไหล่ถูกๆใน eBay ดีกว่าคับ :D
There will be a video of me painting them calipers and drum brakes sometime! Cheers! :D
you ever find a tool to remove the hub other than a hammer and socket, if not what size socket were you pounding that out with, I have alot of words, very inappropriate words at this moment about my feelings and this hub ... and btw, thanx. loving your videso
Brian Alexander Xavier Storm It was a 19mm socket. And you should use this: th-cam.com/video/HdKiYbj_vy4/w-d-xo.html
I know this was done a year ago but have you had any problems with the left control you bought from ebay I've heard suspension parts are terrible from ebay and is you Lancer a 5 speed or automatic.
Your video reminds me of Jafromobile.
Very straightforward easy to follow video. props
No, the control arm is still fine. The car is AUTO. Thanks, cheers!!
Nice.. Got it done!!!
Nice videos man, did you change the sway bar bushings when you changed the control arm?
Oh no, I just changed them shortly before this video. So yea
Cheers
The best videos brother
Did you have to remove any mounts to have movement in the trans for the front bolt on the lca
Jon McCarthy No.
Gracias. Desde Costa Rica.
you are a lifesaver! but do you have any idea how many control arms a 2003 lancer OZ has? I'm trying to buy all to change all but i don't know. after seeing your video i figure you, or someone in the audience, might! lol thanks ahead of time and thanks for the video!
I know there's 2 control arms at the front, and two at the rear. The front and the rear control arms are different.
hope this helps
So there is one per wheel at the front wheels and one per wheel at at the rear?
yes

Okay good work but could you please do this videos outside or with brighter lights thanks
Buenos dias, e visto varios videos de usted, y me gustaria saber si es posible aplicar estas reparaciones en el Lancer Cedia GDI, seria de mucha ayuda, gracias por los videos
What size sockets did you need to use for the control arm? I hit a pot hole and bent mine, along with the sway bar end link.
I would suggest you to buy the whole set. It is cheaper that way and you won't have to buy more when you need the other ones.
You will most likely need
12mm
14mm
17mm
19mm
cheers
The DarkDragonWing Thanks.
hey The DarkDragonWing , whenever I go through some little holes on the road, I can hear metal knocking sound on my driver side. which part of the wheel contributes to that sound? just name out all the possibility! thank!!! (installing 4 struts and inner tie rod end next week when my parts arrive)
Ok, it could be the strut
or the control-arm
or the sway bar
or missing sway bar link(s)
The DarkDragonWing just bought the control arm. you seem to be right after some readings. I hope it will settle the noise!
What are tools you need to get off and put back on the control arm?
14mm
17mm
19mm
Jack stand
great styling of videos
very useful vids bro!!!
Hey man I like your video,I have a question I recently install coilover But everytime I hit little deep bump or dip it make a popping noise from the front. It sound like metal to metal any tips I should check at it? Bc coilover lancer gts
Could be the inner and or outer tie-rods.
Wassup Makey when you added the hub did you change the bearing as well?
+Juan Velasquez No, I didn't, here I changed it in this video: th-cam.com/video/HdKiYbj_vy4/w-d-xo.html
Where did you buy your lower control arm? What size socket did you use for your CV axle end NUT a 30mm? or 32mm? Do you know what size are the Mitsubishi lancer CJ ES 2010 use? Im Viet too :)

The DarkDragonWing Hey buddy, what made you change your front drive hub? What was the problem?
Oh nothing just thought that the wheel hit the curve, the hub must got bent too.
Hey mackey have u came across any halo headlights for your lancer?
Hi Mackey,
I have a 2005 Lancer ES, and it seems when I drive and let go of the gas pedal I hear a rumbling sound. But when I step on the gas pedal again the sound disappears. Does that mean my control arms are bad/worn/damaged? Any advice will help. Thanks!
That could be the brake pads, or the calipers need to be lubricated. Is it shaking? If so you will need to get your front wheel balanced.
brake pads are new, calipers are lubricated amd the wheels are balanced. its a klunking sound and yes its shaking.
Cas q
Nice car you have.
Old video but yeah, I have a question, why at the starting of the video did you change back the rims?
So that the wheel can hold the hub in place while I try to un-tighten the axle nut.
Again lol where did you purchase the bearing online or store?
alex ramos Online
You did an awesome job but u should repaint your brake calipers red again so it will make your car look even cooler :)
Could you show a moderate video or explanation of the rear side alignment parts of your car? I have a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer ES 1.6L Automatic & my tires are getting bold from the inside thread, my outside outer thread is ok.
Thank You Awaiting For Your Prosperous Response from You Or Anyone Please...

Thank you!!!
Yes, it's the same car.
Didnt the axel got pulled out??
So how much did the control arm cost you. That sucks that you paid 900 to have the other one changed at a shop.
Evan93 It cost me $35 for the control arm in this video. Also, if I change the front axle, it would cost me only $50. So it should have cost me $85 instead of $900 if I have done it myself. But.. it was just one of those unlucky days.

do a video on the rear lower control arms
I don't know how u do it! I hate working on the floor! Good work though.

You should have had the weight on the suspension before tightening the bushing bolts on the control arm.
Can't watch due to how many times the camera changes. Wtf
