New Control Arm with Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com http://1aau.to/ib/1ASLF00286

Control arms are a crucial part of the suspension system of your vehicle. They not only carry the load of the vehicle to the wheel, but they typically also maintain its alignment. Control arms are typically large and strong, so you may be surprised it needs replacing. They contain rubber bushings for smoother rides at the cost of eventual wear, or integrated ball joints that require replacing the entire arm when they wear. This video shows you how to install a new quality TRQ lower control arm with ball joint in your 2000-2006 Chevy Tahoe.

Worse part of this job is torsion bar removal. A hammer drill rental from Home Depot does the trick but without the truck in the air the front end will drag on the ground if you don’t finish the job.

Does it really matter if you put a mark on the CV flange or not?

Magnum Ranch says:

How many hours should each lower control take to remove and reinstall?

Ty Scott says:

Do you know the part number for the shock/control arm bushing?

I just changed mine in a 2002 Suburban Z71. I did not remove the torsion bar like here. Once the ball joint bolt was clear of the hub assy, the control arm tilts down and has no pressure from the torsion bar, so the control arm is then wiggled out of the frame and slid off the torsion bar. You do need to back off the torsion adj bolts. But that is all. BTW, I did this out in the parking lot at my apartment, and I'm 64 years old. Also means just hand tools. The drive axel needs to be removed on 4x4s. If I can do it here, you can manage it in your garage.

Brandon Farmer says:

Why did you take the keys out I just did mine on 05 avalanche all I had to do was loosen the bolt take the pressure off

Finally get a video that I was looking for that doesn't have struts instead of t-bars. Guess 1A Auto wasn't cutting it. Great job like always great videos even with 1A Auto!!

Ric Robinson says:

Thanks! Got to do that to my 2001 2500HD pickup. Looks like the same parts. Very well done.
