Great video, very informative. To viewers, the part he replaced is called an "Upper Control Arm" and sometimes referred to as a "Camber Link." Just be sure to mention "Upper" and "Adjustable " when you purchase. O'Reilly's part # is PRE 2CB25213 Precision is the manufacturer

@uoyebut2151 3 жыл бұрын

would that apply for a g6

@BigWheel. 3 жыл бұрын

@@uoyebut2151 probably not the part number, but if you know your make (pontiac) model (G6) year (????) And trim level or engine type (Se Gt GTP GXP etc) Rock auto has a pretty good parts finder format, as does o rileys website, and you can look up your specific part that way, which is the same process the employee at the parts store uses.

I replaced my upper control arm and my tires are still leaning out. Someone said I may need a wheel alignment, any suggestions ?

@themechanic6117 3 ай бұрын

Check the bushing on the trailing arm , but you always get a wheel alignment done after replacing parts

@paulnandico2370 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the point about the wheel needing to be on the ground to make the adjustment. I wondered how you could do that, so appreciate the input.

You forgot to use your rubber pinch weld hockey puck . On the assembly line only the toe- in is adjusted as all the other are pre set. Nice idea with the level , it's close enough to get to the alignment shop. It's mind blowing the amount of times you hear about nobody has the money to fix their car. Well done buddy.

@themechanic6117 6 жыл бұрын

I'm not using the pinch weld puck because after the 6th car it fell apart😂piece of junk. Yes the toe is adjustable from factory. I always forget to mention something in my videos 😂👍. I guess it just comes with the area I live in.

I have this issue on my 2010 Chrysler Sebring and I as I understand it they are the same as the Avenger. I have been wondering how to fix it, especially on the bushings. I ordered some bushings from Amazon only could change one because I am doing it all with hand tools. Now, I am thinking I should have just bought the adjustable links. I want to change the other bushings but it is time-consuming with hand tools, but hey got to do what I can with what I got. Good video bro, very insightful... Thanks!!!

I subscribed, I am a mechanic on my channel but wanted to learn how to do rear alignment, my car is doing same thing, I called a local alignment shop and they said my Chrysler 300 which is rear wheel drive, only front can get adjusted and not the rear, so you helped me figure out that I can just get adjustable control arms for mine, thanks

@mpadil 3 ай бұрын

Also keep in mind that if the shocks or struts are worn out that 90*degree angle will be off. A lot of people over look that part of the cars suspension is the culprit for bad tire wear.

my first time doing the same control arms on my gf's car, went easy breezy. yesterday however , the upper bolt was a PITA , and the one coming off the knuckle is seized into the bushing sleeve like you wouldn't believe. And these bushings don't have much of a lip to use with a ball joint puller kit. probably crater it in the socket. So , decided instead of effing a bunch of stuff up, spent a few bucks on rock auto. I felt defeated . 🥺

your only mistake is that you did not even out the adjuster on the right even adjustment before you install it , you should adjust the length evenly then adjust that if you turn the middle adjuster it will adjust the same length of the adjuster . also you really have to preload before doing the adjustment then tightened the control arm. you are good. its just normal to sometimes forget something but over all you are good .

Excessive toe is often the cause of inside tire wear. The excessive negative camber just concentrates the scrub effect of the toe into a smaller area of the contact patch.
