Very helpful video. It is worth mentioning that if you have to replace the lower left control arm, you have to remove the engine mount too.

Didn't need to mess with the links unless there bad,,just loosen the bolt on the new arm pull ball joint end out first,,it rotates down,passes the sway bar,pulls right out👍

I found that yes you can get away with pulling the old one out but the new one has new stiff bushings.its easier to just disconnect the links

In my 07 Malibu maxx I was taking kind of a tight turn. All of the sudden it was as if both tires on the side that was taking the inertia and momentum, suddenly lost almost all air and the car started sliding out abit. As if on Ice or wet pavement but wasn’t at all. The tires did not slide it was as if the body of the car or suspension idk hard to describe but there it is lol ? Would highly appreciate any suggestions thanks ahead of time y’all 🙏✌️🇺🇸

I have a 2006 V6 G6 GT. Be aware the Napa driver side which is left control arm 260 - 5873 and the passenger side come with the wrong pinch bolt. It is too big. AutoZone will sell you the control arm but they do not have a pinch bolt! ALWAYS ALWAYS BRING THE OLD PARTS WITH YOU & CHECK YOUR PART'S AND BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE STORE. I was just at O'Reilly and they sold me the control arm for the wrong side. The box was correct however the part inside the unopened bag is not labeled. O'Reilly associates are very helpful but the company itself is setting itself up for failure No wonder people would rather order online.

I agree with penetrating oil. Unless you spray it daily for a week. Whenever you take nut off, it is still dry on the threads, you can see that the penetration never happened. It takes days for seepage to happen.
