  • In this video, I show you how to replace the lower control arm on the golf. The bushings on it were cracking and getting old and it was a lot easier and more logical if I were to replace the bushings, along with the lower control arm, all in one shot.
    In the next video, I will be installing the larger GTI BBK on the golf!!!!

    One crusial thing my friends- tight the bolts when the vehicle is on the ground. If you tight the bolts while the car is lifted, you are going to set the bushing to a stress and they will fail in few months. Hope the comment will help.

      Anton you are absolutely true. This is what I was about to mention but i searched and found you already mentioned it. So +2 more thumbs up for you ;) Not a lot of mechanics do it properly and after a short while after a bigger bump your bushings will break again for not installing them correctly. You first have to lower the car at the nominal ride hight before tighten the bolts of the horizontal axis bushings.

    Very nice job showing how to remove and replace the control arm. Good clear video and explanation. I learned a good bit. One important note: other videos I've watched indicate that the car should be lowered to the ground before torquing the control arm bolts so as to avoid future issues with the bushings (I see others have commented on this point). One last thought; I've heard that the alignment should be checked checked at the end..

  • @eb121209

    You definitely have enough room to remove the old ball joint. You use a open end wrench for the nut and a pair of vise grips to hold the joint.
    When I did mine, I ripped off the boot on the ball joint so I had more room for the vice grips.

    You never want to use an impact on the lower control arm bolts, they all have a torque spec and overtightening them will hurt it just as bad. Use a proper torque wrench to tighten the bolts.

    been reading elsewhere that the control arm bushing fasteners should not be torqued until control arm is in the same position it would be if car is on the ground. Thus, would jack from the ball-joint/rotor area until car lifts off the jack stand and then torque the bolt.
    I could see where that might reduce stress on the front bushing but it seems to me it wouldn't matter on the rear bushing. Your thoughts?
    Video was nicely done

    Control arm looks same as the Subaru control arms. Had a struggle getting my ball joint out and it wasn't even that rusty. If you're replacing the whole arm do this: remove inner bolts first and let it hang by the ball joint. Remove pinch bolt and the nut, soak in pb blaster, then hammer away on the old arm. It gets dented but it will pull the ball joint right out!

    Don't buy $60 control arms. After 5000 or maybe 7000 miles, the cheap bushings will be toast, and you'll have to go through the whole thing all over again and you'll have put a lot of extra wear on the tire. Only buy quality parts - buy once, cry once.

    Milan, I have a 2004 GTI VR6 and will replace the control arms soon. The video you made is helpful in getting me familiar with the job before starting. Since the car is 14 years old, I'll spend a little extra money on buying the control arm assembly and ball-joint instead of only replacing the bushings. I'm considering the Black Forest Industries control arms with urethane bushings. I understand the BFI urethane bushings are stiffer than factory rubber bushings, provide more precise/responsive steering and last longer. If you have experience with urethane bushings, do you have an opinion on them? Good idea? Bad idea? Do they make the car too rough of a ride if the car is for everyday use, not tracking? Also, I'm interested in knowing if the right control arm is just as easy to replace or if it's different in some way. Additionally, what other opportunistic maintenance do you recommend at the time the control arms are replaced? I'll inspect the CV boots to make sure they're still good or replace the axle if necessary. The one additional step I am considering, but unsure if I'll do, is possibly replace the shocks and springs. If you have a video on replacing them, I'd like to watch that as well. The shocks and springs on my car are original and seem to be okay, but I'm unsure how long they're designed to last. Your thoughts and opinion are appreciated. By the way, the MK4 GTI has treated me well. Hopefully yours runs well too.

  • @fox10169
    @fox10169 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    you actually don't need to take the axel out to get the ball joint out. just loosen the nut untill it buts up against the cv axel, then smack the knuckle where the ball joint goes through with a bfh untill it pops free, then grab the ball joint shaft with needle nose vice grips and loosen the nut the rest of the way. and you don't have to use a jack underneath the knuckle when pulling out the lca, the suspension is at full droop, the shock is preventing the spring from expanding anymore.

  • @JohnLaFosse
    @JohnLaFosse 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    My VW 2002 2.0L Golf I bought from a relative had a number of repairs that needed addressing. One was a worn tire. I replaced that tire, however the tire shop had me go back to my mechanic to loosen a bolt on the tie rod simply because they don't have a torch. Several months later, I'm noticing wear on one of my front tires and I'm thinking they may not have done the alignment properly or at 180,000 miles less care was put into it. I am tool-less and have very few places to do the work myself. Should I be considering putting the car up on jacks and looking for any play in the suspension? After watching this video, I'm certainly interested in buying tools to do the work myself and replacing tie rod ends, ball joints, and lower control arms. What would you recommend I focus on? BTW according to my VW mechanic all my repairs are done except a new radiator (perhaps) and rear brakes. I will clean out my wheel wells with degreaser this week and inspect the bushings etc.

    How did you know the control arms bushings were bad I suspect because when I turn all the way and lock the steering wheel on u turns it makes a pop. Hopefully it's the bushings since I just bought new control arms with new bushings and ball joints.

    How much does it cost to repair these? Also should you replace both sides of the car or as needed?

    Why use a jack to hold the spring just to undo bolts if then removing jack? Wouldn’t the tension from the jack be needed till reinstalled?

    price is lower because it is some shit quality part. I would change only bushing with lemforder/trw part.

    i have a 2000 seat leon that uses the exact same LCA, i have taken the old out but I am struggling to put the new in. There doesn't seem to be enough space for me to be able to slide in the Ball joint connection and then bring the bushing ends up to where they need to be. Does anyone know why this is? help would be much appreciated

      Grab the brake disc with both hands and do a 1/4 circular move left and right, pushing up off from your chest on direction to the front differential. You will notice when all comes to the right place. Sorry about my english.

    The body of my car is over the nut. I can't even see the nut because the body is there. Any idea how to keep the nut from spinning?

    Don’t you have to jack up the lower control arm a little bit before you tighten it ?

    why reuse the old ball joint? That is a big source of suspension noise.
