Yes we know you have a Milwaukee impact gun, you don’t need to tell us the name and model of it every time you pick it up.

Thank you for this very useful and informative video!
Outstanding diy tutorial, thank you
No need for a puller at all.
Take the air spring mounting bolts out. And the camber and caster adjustment bolts out, let the arm hang, and smack the shit out of the knuckle with a 3 lb hammer where the ball joint goes. Pops right out in one go.
You make this much more difficult than it should be. I can have both sides done in an hour. Use witness marks to get the alignment as close as possible. Then torque them down after making adjustments on the alignment rack.
The alignment takes longer than the parts replacement, redoing the caster sweep 3 or 4 times.

Is this the same method for the supercharged with dynamic suspension?
Thank you Brian. very big help fully detailed videos
I got some lights on dashboard when i did the lower control is that normal i heard a alignment will fix the lights on dashboard
Guys I see this video is still being viewed.. So few things author didnt do and did not mention that are accepted as best practice to do this job:
1) Alway always order hardware kit with your control arms. These large bolts rust and cease. Sometimes they have to be cut. Either way, putting already rusting old bolt back there is not so wise, in my humble opinion, use new ones.
2) always always pack inner part of bushings where these bolts being fitted trough with anticease compound and apply some to the bolts as well – you will 100% undoubdetly thank me later when/if you have to visit this again.
3) whiteout marking are a good practice but new control arm will require alignment regardless.
4) as mentioned, LCA needs to be at ride height before you tight those 2 bolts up. So when you come home, stop the car, do not turn off the engine, do not close drivers door, just come out take a ruler and measure distance from center of wheel to a fender lip. Now while doing the job you can assemble everything except tighting up those 2 bolts, jack up the hub so middle of the hub to fender lip will be what you had measured before- thats will be your ride height and then tight up and torque those two last bolts.
ITS THE REAR CONTROL ARE!!!!
Mate that was straight to the point with every step detailed perfectly. Congrats on one of the best how too videos I've watched without having to sit through someone's life story.
Great work.
Hi Brian, just wanted to say what an excellent video. I need to change my arms on my 208 RRS, do I lightly put the bolts back in to the arms and lift the suspension up before retightening?
Cheers
Gerry
One of the best DIY’s I’ve ever seen. Techniques, torque specs…perfect video!
