    This is how you make a video folks, you include the socket sizes, torque specs, tips and tricks. Best vehicle how-to video I’ve seen. A+!

    Guys I see this video is still being viewed.. So few things author didnt do and did not mention that are accepted as best practice to do this job:
    1) Alway always order hardware kit with your control arms. These large bolts rust and cease. Sometimes they have to be cut. Either way, putting already rusting old bolt back there is not so wise, in my humble opinion, use new ones.
    2) always always pack inner part of bushings where these bolts being fitted trough with anticease compound and apply some to the bolts as well - you will 100% undoubdetly thank me later when/if you have to visit this again.
    3) whiteout marking are a good practice but new control arm will require alignment regardless.
    4) as mentioned, LCA needs to be at ride height before you tight those 2 bolts up. So when you come home, stop the car, do not turn off the engine, do not close drivers door, just come out take a ruler and measure distance from center of wheel to a fender lip. Now while doing the job you can assemble everything except tighting up those 2 bolts, jack up the hub so middle of the hub to fender lip will be what you had measured before- thats will be your ride height and then tight up and torque those two last bolts.

    Mate that was straight to the point with every step detailed perfectly. Congrats on one of the best how too videos I've watched without having to sit through someone's life story.
    Great work.

    Did this job yesterday on my 2007 TDV8 - you DO NOT need to mess with the halfshaft, there IS enough room to get the ball joint up and out of the socket. The workshop manual also doesn't mention removing the halfshaft nut. Good video!

    Hi Brian, just wanted to say what an excellent video. I need to change my arms on my 208 RRS, do I lightly put the bolts back in to the arms and lift the suspension up before retightening?
    Cheers

    Great video only one thing.. in the UK and rust belts you have to heat the bolts with a torch or induction heater until cherry red then drive them out using a very powerful air hammer :/ .. or Cut the arms off.

    Quick question guys: I have a 2011 Range Rover Supercharged and the dealership diagnostics stated that the lower control arms are loose.. Would tighten the arms stop the problem or should I have new arms installed? I live in Seattle and wondering if someone can recommend a honest and dependable repair shop?

  • @rafipr6165

    My manual says to put it in off-road mode for jacking up the auto. Is there a difference between lifting the car when on the ground and when on a lift? Hope you get this comment. I'm doing this job tomorrow at my condo parking and don't want to make a mistake. Thank you and great video. " Ensure the air suspension is set to off road height." That's in my manual

    No need for a puller at all.
    Take the air spring mounting bolts out. And the camber and caster adjustment bolts out, let the arm hang, and smack the shit out of the knuckle with a 3 lb hammer where the ball joint goes. Pops right out in one go.
    You make this much more difficult than it should be. I can have both sides done in an hour. Use witness marks to get the alignment as close as possible. Then torque them down after making adjustments on the alignment rack.
    The alignment takes longer than the parts replacement, redoing the caster sweep 3 or 4 times.

      @unprofessionalmechanic8466 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope! If you seen your RRS from the bottom, you'd know that large skid plate he had to take off actually right away is under engine = this is front control arm.

    Video is general and doesn’t detail getting the control arm back on and wrestling with the strut to get it through the control arm while trying to get the ball joint through. Video is not that helpful.
