Why do you need an alignment?
Is this similar to the 2011 equinox
Why would anyone replace the arm but not the bushing?!?
Excellent video very helpful thanks for your work
I was waiting for you to wiggle the old ball joint to see how bad was it.
I purchased me itch funny Control arms and the bushings stick out too far. How do I push them in to fit into the bracket on my vehicle? I tried a c clamp but was unsuccessful. Any ideas on what I should do? Thanks
Is this for upper or lower control arms?
I'm purchasing a vehicle that has both rear upper control arms loose, rh frontstrut leaking/busted. They insisted it's not something I should be worried about so much and it could be done later on. But I'm not really sure about that. I'm asking for anyone's opinion here. What do you think?
Its a 2011 GMC Acadia.
Couldn't you just place the tire on and set it down to tighen up the last 2 bolts on the control arm instead of using a jack?
It helps when you have a vehicle lift… i dont got a vehicle lift so I cant get the leverage you have.
How to replace just the front bushing?
Great how Too Vids Thanks 1A
Can you replace the lower ball joint without having to replace the whole control arm
Ordered the ball joints from 1A. Got the old ones out (what a pain) and the bolts that came with are a little too big for the old rivet holes. Suggestions?
When I go to tighten the nut on the ball joint, it just keeps spinning. The stud is spinning too. I see a spot for an allen wrench in it but can't get to it to hold it. Is it supposed to spin like this?
can i perform this change with a regular jack stand
