s your Hummer H2 making a loud clunking noise over bumps? In this video, I replace the worn-out upper control arms and lower ball joints on a 2006 Hummer H2 to fix the dangerous suspension play.
The Problem: The H2 is a heavy truck, and the front suspension takes a beating. At 00:30, you can see the massive amount of play in the old control arm—this causes tire wear, clunking noises, and loose steering.
Parts Replaced:
Upper Control Arms
Lower Ball Joints
(Check your local alignment shop afterwards!)

I always try to repair cars thinking about the next mechanic who has to work on it. Does anyone else use anti-seize on everything, or just me? Let me know!
Great information!! Well spoken and your camera angle was as if i were doing it myself. Very well explained!! Thank you!
Bottom balljoints are a struggle to get off. Why did you skip the part where you take them off?
