Beautiful, good job.

I've done my whole front end suspension on my 04 Dodge Ram 1500 two-wheel drive twice and I'm about to do it for the third time and you don't need a spring compressor, you can just use the jack to lower the control arm, but what I do is tie a small chain around the spring to the frame just in case. And another tip is to leave the Jack under the control arm y-you're uninstalling it to take pressure off the bolts and also do it in reverse when you're installing raise the control arm with the Jack even so you can put the bolts on easier. The jack is your friend not your enemy. It also helps to take the wheel well guards off, it just gives you more room. Always do an alignment after suspension work.

Man I wish I had your attitude when work on my truck

This is great , feels like I'm holding the flashlight w the boys. Thanks for posting this

Thanks guys! could use more commentary regarding tools used and socket sizes. But you did show me exactly what i needed to see. I was wondering how the spring would come out without compressing it first. Fixin to do the same repair on my ‘07 as part of my winter project. So, thanks again y’all.

Should you have the weight of the truck on the ground before you tighten the A-arm bolts?

Thanks for the video. I need to do this same exact job for my 05 Ram.

I didn't know you could drop the spring without compressing it. Thanks.

Just did my brother inlaws ball joints on the same truck yesterday. Wish I'd seen this video. Yall did the lower the easy way lol. I ground the lip of the ball joint and installed one with a snap wring.

For the most part of it ... you did a great job

A lot of good work. Thanks

You are a fine mechanic! No way I am going to try all that on my truck though.

Very useful for me, greetings from 🇲🇽!

Thank you for the very well done video. It is a great tutorial for me.

Hey man. Great video with lots of information. 👍😁

Great video, thank you

Good job amigo grasias dios los bendiga

Buitiuful ,

Great Work, Guys !

On the bolt that’s close to the front end of the truck for your upper control arm you can bend back the plastic and you can get your ratchet wrench on there it’ll work. I always had that idea.

Good job bro

how long did the previous control arms last?

My 2003 RWD 1500 V6 3.7 clunks going over bumps,and shakes on freeway at like 65MPH lower control arms,sways been replaced,but not my upper control arms,and the boots leaked all the grease out when i just greased them?😊

i have a question. i just noticed that my front end is sitting on its bump stops. is that a shock problem or a spring problem?

Yeah this video is not for beginners no specs, tools name or sizes no close up views, some bolts we can't even see on this camera view🤦🏾

I assume the only difference with a 4WD ram of a similar year, would be removal/replacement of the front half shafts?

The lower control arms with ball joint installed I saw are over 300$ I buy the ball joint alone for that. My upper ones I buy the control arm and ball joint installed it always seemed easier.

I got an 03 2500 and I think it has thus same problem it has a clacking noise when I go over hard bumps an it rides pretty rough steering also Jerks to the passenger side when I am going over 70 and hit hard bumps

Did you replace those sway bar bushings? Sounded like they were still knocking!

Nice work fellows, it always helps to have assistance. What brand of lower control arms did you replace with? I have to do the same.

tims breathing like he just ran a mile

Hey what floor jack did you like? I am looking.

The wheel hub and upper A arm should have been the last to completely remove because it would keep the spring in place, all that jerking on the sway bar links you did with the spring able to go flying was sketchy, even had it bowed out with your face near it 🦷👀 be careful 👍🏻

could you give me a list of parts used to replace the front end ?

Around what price range would this come out to be for a customer? I need same thing done to my 2002 Ram

I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500. That I'm thinking of getting rid of because the suspension is horrible, just wondering if I did all of what you did. Will it ride like new. ?

I’d love to be a mechanic but man these hideous new vehicles even some American brands made stupid vehicles that just anger me. I can’t be a mechanic working in a shop or working in my own shop today with all this BS on the road. I’m glad you got a good old dodge to work on. These old dogs are easy to understand, you have room, they look good. I own a 2003 4x4 off road package rare model ram. 5.7 hemi. Man oh man I love that old truck I learned mechanics on it. I knew from KZfaq also.

What are the nut torque specs for the ball joints and lower and upper control arms?

about how long did it take for both side?

At 10:48 what the hell does Tim say?😁😁

Use jack stands if that jack slips or fails dude under the truck is gonna get hurt or dead.

Worthless
