I love watching these videos but hate the fact that on pretty much everyone one I have seen across you there is never a rusted bolt, a rounded bolt and everything comes apart easily.
Then you settle down with your video and your spanners and reality bites.
I got my old control arm and ball joint off but when I tried using the jack to push the new one through it only went halfway in and now I can’t figure out how to get it pressed in all the way. Any tips anyone ?
Pretty good video. Just stop putting thread locker on everything. It doesn’t need it, especially on caliper bolts. Bolts stretch when done up and what’s what keeps them tight.
did this on the driver side of my rusty 2008 mazda 3. Was a BITCH. None of the bolts ever lined up, I spent all day trying to get it on. Wish me luck on the passenger side

Thanks for the video. Where did you buy the control arm?
This also works for the Volvo c30 in case anyone was wondering.
I have looked @ many removal/installs you properly showed how to torque, thanks
Where’s all the rust?
Well this saves me about 700 getting a mechanic to replace it lol thanks man
Just about to do this on my mazda
How come you removed and reinserted the front bolt so easy? The ac compressor is kinda in the way?
So much thread locker
great video, thanks
This look very simple. Very nice technics.
easy when you do it
Thanks, this helped me a lot.
