New Control Arm with Ball Joint Set from 1AAuto.com http://1aau.to/ia/1ASFK00556
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. This video shows you how to install a new quality TRQ lower control arm in your 1998-2012 Ford Crown Victoria.

If you get the front end kit that has new inner and outer tie rods, You should be able to do away with removing the rack.
Why didn't you torque the hose bracket line? You torqued everything else…
Torqued?? You mean 7 uga dugas…
I have a 2002 mercury Marquis. Is there any way to center my steering wheel without affecting the front wheel alignment? My car is driving real straight so the front alignment should be correct but my steering wheel is a little off center. jamesmcqueen1933@gmail.com

What a beautiful job, the mechanic himself and the man behind the camera!… Absolutely priceless!
What an amazing world we live in, to have Master mechanics showing the rest of us how to do these things!
I’m literally at this point and could not figure out how to get the lower control arm bolt out without removing the rack and pinion. The rack and pinion just kept hitting on the oil filter housing. Great video Thanks! ! !
Wow u Are super micanik
Damn all this for a control arm?
I have a 99 mercury grand marquis & it looks totally different from what ur working on.
Great vid. Just curious, do we really need to get the steering rack out of the way for this job?
Congrats on one of the best how-to videos out there. Concise logical camera work, every detail explained, good lighting, freaking torque specs, this was like going to church, music to my ears. Was there a specific reason this P needed new lower control arms or you just wanted to show us how the pro's do it? Thanks!
What’s the average cost for this repair ?
This is only applicable to the 03+ cars, 92-02 used a completely different style of front suspension.
Good video, can't go wrong with mud tires on the front of a Crown Vic!… haha
Wonder how angry mechanics in the old days would be seeing how easy we have it with impact wrenches now lol.
My crown vic needs new control arms bad lol. Front end wiggles more than a semi on a windy day.
Can you do a video on replacing the body mounts on same crown victoria
That was a really great video. I have a 2003 Lincoln Town Car and my shop has told me that I need to replace my lower control arms. I trust them to tell me the truth and they have saved me money in the past. They have told me that this job is going to cost me $930 which is a lot but watching this I can see why. We live in an apartment and I don't have access to a lift and at 65 I don't have the inclination to use jack stands and go crawling around on my back attempting this job. The car's only worth about $3,500 on Craigslist but it's supremely reliable and hopefully this is it's only major cost this year. Thank you for the concise information.
