***This video is not sponsored. I bought and paid for everything you see in the video with my hard earned money.
My neighbor had a 2005 Infiniti G35 and asked me to help him replace his lower control arm bushings because they were broken. Here’s a video giving you tips if you are going to do this repair yourself. You will need at least two people to complete this repair. It is challenging but not impossible.
If this were my car, I would have purchased new arms with bushings already pressed in. They will last you over 5yrs and are much easier to replace.
List of Control Arms with Bushings pressed in. The Moog brand ones should be great.

BUT if you want to challenge yourself go ahead and do the bushings only.
If this video helped you, please give it a thumbs up. I also invite you to share your tips/thoughts/critique in the comments section.

I’ve been buying things (automotive, cooking, construction, toys, office products, electronics etc.) from Amazon for over a decade now. I created a list of my top purchases. Take a peek. You can ask me anything about any item on the list cause I bought it.

Why did you hammer the bushing instead of using the ball joint kit to press it? I just got those whiteline bushings and thinking about doing it myself…my control arm is touching the frame now ; (
My bushing is about to get to that point, it's already squeaking.
My control arm doesn't look like this? 2005 g35 coupe
Dude, bolt sizes are awesome at the beginning of your video 😛
