New Control Arm with Ball Joint Set from 1AAuto.com http://1aau.to/ia/1ASFK06039

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 2013-19 Ford Police Interceptor Utility.

hello guys great video. But tell me, does the lower control arm for the police interceptor (PART Number GB5Z-3078-E) fits the Sport Model?

@whambymedia says:

These police interceptor utility videos were exactly what I needed! Thank you!!

@mablenay says:

how many shop hours does this require for a trained tech?

@Latin_Throne says:

How did you torque the bolt you just said if you have the availability

@chicagorc3967 says:

great way to break a screwdriver! use a proper size punch to align holes, not your trusty screwdriver lol

@fredkuhn165 says:

No idea what to do if I’m re using the ball joint lol. Threads are super tight near the top, despite wd40 and wire brushing, working back n forth. Don’t want to buy control arm, I already got the large bushings. That’s all I need

@ianmackey6097 says:

Just buy the full assembly with all bushings and ball joint not much more expensive . No need to press bearings. Time is money

@YalikemyTigerBeat says:

The aluminum mount install. Is a nightmare! My dead blow was leaking sand by the time it was close to being in position

@elinoamrichter162 says:

There is no way that ball joint came out that easy

@chriscole9621 says:

Just had an accident in our taurus sho, Crashed into a tunnel wall in the rain because the car understeered. Somehow at 40mph the only damage was the ball joint on the control arm and the tierod plus since it hit the wheel on the wall the wheel got some big gash marks. no body damage somehow.
Helpful video, Thanks
Really needed to see how to remove that bushing since mine doesn't come with one

@StormxRaiden says:

What torque wrench is that

@kickdog6934 says:

Hi. Sr. are the ball joints replaceable?

@jamiespindler5040 says:

Did he really just say "it's recommended to torque this bushing with the weight of the vehicle on it…"but it's too hard to get at the bolt that way.. " and than proceed to just torque in the wrong position. Next time just put a jack under the ball joint and jack the arm up till it just takes the weight of the vehicle. That way you won't be changing that bushing again in 3 months when it just rips itself apart from being torqued in the wrong position

@tonydushaj3912 says:

Why would TRQ give you a control arm without a large control arm bushing attached ? Why would you go through all that trouble to replace a control arm with an old bushing. Replacing it with a new one takes about 300 whacks with a dead blow hammer. Removing the old one is impossible without the tools you see in the video. I wish TRQ would charge a little more and give you what you need . I had a hell of a time getting a new bushing on the control arm. Never Again

@NG-tz8wo says:

I did this today. Just a warning make sure you don’t let the axle pull out. I made that mistake.

@alfredkoko6955 says:

will this be the same as the taurus ford 2011 v6 3.5 sel i think that were my
clunking noise beside the sway bar link..!

@Rodecpt0 says:

Did he just hammer that large control arm bushing on? I tried to do that and it’s almost impossible without a press

@Queendae23 says:

Make more videos this helped me alot sir

@isacchris1 says:

Why did you reuse the old mount when the new lower control arm comes with a new one already mounted and ready to go?
