Um you jacked up the rubber bushing and replaced it with old one guess the couple dollars for a new one is to much money.
I watched your video before I started my repair on a 2009 Lincoln Town Car. Thannnnk YOU! It went very smooth. I seem to always have to do things the had way. I Strut had broke and had to use a spring compressor. Still your video was very helpful
If you pry between the upper control arm and the knuckle near the ball joint, the pressure will keep it from spinning. You'll need a big helper, and/or a really long pry bar. For next time 🙂
Good job dude! Don’t feel bad about that upper arm nut!
Good up close detailed video. Getting ready to do my whole front suspension soon. One thumbs up but I'll be watching this a lot to give me the encouragement the tools and how you did each part. Thankyou sir.
How do you like the Detroit Axle struts? my 07 Grand Marquis needs new struts and I'm lost on which brand to chose.
Great tutorial. I agree with others here: you have a talent as both a mechanic and instructor.
