The entire repair process was very well explained, the video captured the how to ID and remove the bolts/nuts/arm. Outstanding, informative, Relevant, Knowledgeable. This guy is a Rock Star !!!!!!!!!!
Great video, very informative. To viewers, the part he replaced is called an "Upper Control Arm" and sometimes referred to as a "Camber Link." Just be sure to mention "Upper" and "Adjustable " when you purchase.
O'Reilly's part # is
PRE 2CB25213
Precision is the manufacturer
would that apply for a g6
@@uoyebut2151 probably not the part number, but if you know your make (pontiac) model (G6) year (????) And trim level or engine type (Se Gt GTP GXP etc)
Rock auto has a pretty good parts finder format, as does o rileys website, and you can look up your specific part that way, which is the same process the employee at the parts store uses.
Thank you sir, I was like I cannot find an adjustable camber anywhere! Thank you!
I replaced my upper control arm and my tires are still leaning out. Someone said I may need a wheel alignment, any suggestions ?
Check the bushing on the trailing arm , but you always get a wheel alignment done after replacing parts
Bro your great at explaining tutorials, keep up the great job
Thank you
Great job! I know having a roadworthy test can be a pain in the ass sometimes but at least it forces people to fix these kinds of issues or keeps them off the roads so I'm glad we have it.
Where I'm at (chicago) there are no inspections. So people can just drive crap cars till the wheels fall off
@@themechanic6117 same here in the philippines
roadworthy sounds like australia to me
Thanks for the point about the wheel needing to be on the ground to make the adjustment. I wondered how you could do that, so appreciate the input.
Nice to see you at least got the alignment close! Some of the cars I have to align I wonder how they even drove them to the shop 😂
I tried my best 👍 it bothers me when I mess something up but it bothers me even more if I don't try to make it right.
TH-cam can still prove useful! And yours was a powerfully useful, no nonsense, right straight to work, git-r-done video. thanks!
A great job when I do a job on the suspension in the uk I always put anti-seize lub on if ever it has to come back off it's easier.
That was a great tutorial.
Thanks!
I feel confident that i can do this procedure.
You got me with the time lapse joke for a second
😅👍
Had this problem with a jaguar XJ8 x308. Tbh, the whole suspension front and back needed some TLC. Nice work.
Bro your the man I need someone like you working on my vehicles
My tire is doing the exact same thing...I was searching and searching and searching for a video on to why it was doing it and found yours 😁 thanks man
Great commentary and a good catch at the end for the adjustment. Your on the ball.
Thank you. I didn't feel right just leaving it after I realized my mistake 👍👍all settled now
Also, he forgot to mention that you want to extend both ends the same number of turns. Ideally, when all the way in or out, both nuts/bolts will touch, or extend exactly.
This is the most informal...informational video I've found on this subject lol. No seriously, it's fun to watch and you made it make sense. Thanks bro
Thanks for watching
Exact video for the exact problem. Thank you
Thanks for the video,especially the level on car part.i put the level on ground to find a close to flat surface😂,but this is the best
You're welcome, Thanks for watching. Don't forget the wheel alignment and you'll be all set
Having a level ground is good but when you lift the car, that all goes to hell - make sure the car is level before you adjust the camber.
Jose
Really all around good vid -commentary,video, etc... . Right from the start I noticed some good quality tools-always a sign of someone who knows/does good work!
I was wondering how you figured you made it level without checking the car! Lol great that you pointed out the issue. Most people would have missed it I'm sure. Good video. Well done. 💪👍👍👍
Lol nice to see you caught the problem. Thanks for watching 👍
How do you check to make sure a car is level?
lol, I'm just curious
Cool very cool, I'll put that in my head socket and store it for if & when I need it. Many Thanks!
Thank you bud...
Great video...
Very educational
You forgot to use your rubber pinch weld hockey puck . On the assembly line only the toe- in is adjusted as all the other are pre set. Nice idea with the level , it's close enough to get to the alignment shop. It's mind blowing the amount of times you hear about nobody has the money to fix their car. Well done buddy.
I'm not using the pinch weld puck because after the 6th car it fell apart😂piece of junk. Yes the toe is adjustable from factory. I always forget to mention something in my videos 😂👍. I guess it just comes with the area I live in.
I see the passion in this video do more pls
Thank you,I appreciate it
Thank you! Your video was very informative and I appreciate the wisdom. Peace
You're welcome .thanks for watching
Excellent. Spot On. Every note. WOW AMAZING!!!!
Hermano real informative video i learn something else.Thank you God bless you.
The timelapse made my day haha
great video, will change mine soon!
Haha ooh ya leveled at the end of video, haha great info, thanks again,
Thanks a lot! Very useful video!
The tires looked nasty, I wouldn’t have even wanted to drive as far as a tire shop on those. Great job!
Yeah they were holding on for dear life . The customer did get new tires and a proper alignment👍
I have this issue on my 2010 Chrysler Sebring and I as I understand it they are the same as the Avenger. I have been wondering how to fix it, especially on the bushings. I ordered some bushings from Amazon only could change one because I am doing it all with hand tools. Now, I am thinking I should have just bought the adjustable links. I want to change the other bushings but it is time-consuming with hand tools, but hey got to do what I can with what I got. Good video bro, very insightful... Thanks!!!
Thank u so much u really showed helped me and explained it well on how to fix my car.. thank u so much ur awesome thanks
Muy buen video espero encontrar esa pieza para mi Journey en Mexico gracias!!!
Good video, very helpful!
You are not only a mechanic.you are best teacher.nice video.keep it.thanks alot.
Thank you ,I appreciate the kind comment 👍
great video bro been trying to get daughters car sorted out but between mechanic and her couldnt seem to get to the bottom of the issue now i can instal part and get alignment close so she can get it to alignment shop appreciate the assist
If it seizes make sure you have a replacement bolt and use an angle grinder to get the old bolt off. I just went through that nightmare with the bottom bolt for my strut
Thanks for your lesson 👍
Dude, my hands get all kinds of messed up. Lol I like my battle wounds.
I subscribed, I am a mechanic on my channel but wanted to learn how to do rear alignment, my car is doing same thing, I called a local alignment shop and they said my Chrysler 300 which is rear wheel drive, only front can get adjusted and not the rear, so you helped me figure out that I can just get adjustable control arms for mine, thanks
thnak buddy was awsome to know i will change that part to my civic i have to mutch positif camber on front xheels ans so mutch at rear i will change them then
Thanks for watching 👍
Haha "time lapse" I'll have to try that in a vid too. good vid
Thank you. Do they have this bar on a 2016 Nissan Altima S also? Replaced all 4 tires a year ago this month, Then in December I had the rear shocks replaced and in March I had to replace the 2 rear tires again because of inside cupping. Now, the rear tires have inside cupping again. Something is not right here
Great video! Thanks!
Nicely done!
Thank you
good job man
my first time doing the same control arms on my gf's car, went easy breezy. yesterday however , the upper bolt was a PITA , and the one coming off the knuckle is seized into the bushing sleeve like you wouldn't believe. And these bushings don't have much of a lip to use with a ball joint puller kit. probably crater it in the socket. So , decided instead of effing a bunch of stuff up, spent a few bucks on rock auto. I felt defeated . 🥺
If you get decent ones from a wreckers that are low KM and have good bushings like i did it will straighten the camber and toe in right up. I changed spindles, upper and lower control arms all wrecker parts no issues
What is the name of the arm he replaced?
jajaid6 rear upper control arm. Is what I refer to them as.
your only mistake is that you did not even out the adjuster on the right even adjustment before you install it , you should adjust the length evenly then adjust that if you turn the middle adjuster it will adjust the same length of the adjuster . also you really have to preload before doing the adjustment then tightened the control arm. you are good. its just normal to sometimes forget something but over all you are good .
Excellent video. Just put new shocks on ours yesterday, and one tire is shot (belts showing), and the other one is getting close. I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and do this mod.
Thanks for watching and yes it seems like you'll have to do this repair 👍good luck
Great demonstration.
Thank you
That's great what I'm doing right now, but doing all, upper/lower chamber/toe arms, plus pressing in all new bushings, on a 09 journey though but basically same suspension and in video, before you trued in adjustment was the vehicle leveled first!?!, but thanks for great video and info, chears
Easy diy, for the common person, great job ! Your thoughts on the 2.4 vvt Chrysler engine please.
great video brother
Great video and very instructional.
Thank you
It was fun to watch :D #timelapse
U doing great work
Amazing video
Nice video man 👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you
Buen video!
informitive video and nice video quality.!
Thank you
Thank you ., very helpful
Great video thanks 👍
I have the sake problem with my car. The thing is I don't see any great mechanics who really do take care of the car and does his best to fix the issue. It's rare that in my country to see good mechanics.
Sounds like you live in my country, Mexico
Very well explained, What if the platform is uneven where the vehicle has parked, how to correct level ? Thanks.
Good work bro, with lots ofvinformation
Thank you 👍
Nice video my friend
I have same exact problem on my Scion tC.. my rear right tire look just like yours right here.. now I know what to do..
👍 yes you can fix it with the same idea applied here
great footage
Thank you
Good job sir
great video.. very helpful..
Glad it was helpful!
Great job.. Thank you..
You're welcome
Good job man..cheers..
Thank you
Also keep in mind that if the shocks or struts are worn out that 90*degree angle will be off. A lot of people over look that part of the cars suspension is the culprit for bad tire wear.
Nice useful video.
I was wondering if that also solved your rear end bouncing around on bumps?
God video. Thank you
I like that magnet measurement thing I would like to know where you got that from I want one of them
Excellent video
Thank you
Great video
Thank you
👍👍tqvm
.. Mike
very helpful thank you
Good your video. I like it..
Thank you
You're a great teacher ! Very informative video..... plus leave out the distracting background music. ;>)
Sorry about the music. I try to keep the volume of that low.thanks for watching
@@themechanic6117 Not just your video, but most everyone who posts educational videos WITH narration. It's extremely distracting and hard to hear the narrator. Real pet peeve of mine when watching documentaries or how-to shows on TV or especially at the beginning of News shows! :>) Thank you. Keep make great videos my friend !
Awesome job on the video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, much appreciated..
Thank you for watching
@@themechanic6117 do you know if they make adjustable camber arms for the rear end of chargers or Challengers? My 2006 charger rear is out of alignment man.
They should . Those are popular cars. Check suspension components first. If its out of alignment something is worn out
oh wow never knew you need to level the car..thanks
Thank you for the video. I have a quick question. Instead of replacing entire camber arm, can I just use one of those camber bolts at the end of this camber rod?
Yes those work. Check all your bushings before changing parts. Most times worn out bushing fix problems like this
do i have to use the leveler and the angle tool? Or can I just install and take to the shop to be aligned?
You can install it and take it to the shop. No problem 👍
you obviously dont retain what you hear or learn as he had an answer to your unnecessary question.
THANK YOU
Top notch!
Thanks , they need to stop drifting in this car. Obviously it's destroying the tires lol
what is the name of the tool that you use to align?
Can I email you a tire damage pic so I can get your opinion if the cut/puncture caused the wear or not?
I have the same issue with my Honda Odyssey 2006. The rear driver side wheel camber is out of spec. I can see the rear passenger side wheel is wearing from inside. Shall I have to change the both rear control arms one with camber settings. By default Honda odyssey 2006 don't have rear Camber adjustments.
When the car went in for the alignment how close was your level adjustment on it. I have a 09 journey with the same issues, very common problem. I plan on fixing the same with levelling the car then plumbing up for the camber. Just curious to the accuracy of it.
Im not sure. The customer took it for an alignment but i remember they told me the guy who did the alignment said i did a good job so im assuming it was fairly close.
The mech a nic thanks for the quick reply! Keep up the good videos
Thank you
@blissman20 How did the repair on your journey go? I have the same issue on the same year journey.
Can you tell me what everything could cause negative camber in steer tire? Thanks
Great video shots. Would you mind telling us what type of camera equipment are you using ?
For this video i think i was using just a cell phone to record...
3:10 u good bro? Ngl I did laugh when u said “ I smashed my finger, really pissed me off” I been there
I'm good 👍😅
Nice job
Thank you
Nice
