Thanks a lot for your videos! I had an accident with my Giulietta in January. I gave a try to fix her by myself and had to replace front shocks, control arms, drop links and other parts. Needless to say your videos helped A LOT. Now she's back in action, not perfect but at least she did not end in the graveyard and I can go to work with her. Left ball joint came easily, but the right one was a hard fight! I had to get the brake disk off so I could hit more directly to get it down.

I've done it the hard way 😪 didn't remove the bumper and removed the old bushes from the arms, 100% you did it the best way, the only good thing for me, is when I have to replace the ball joints I now know how to remove the bumper and the bolts are greased. For anyone reading this replace the full arms rather than waste time just replacing the bushes...thanks Tony

@karpoezi Жыл бұрын

The toughest thing is to remove the ball joint, You need a good 2kg hammer and a suitable chisel or an electric or pneumatic hammer that will do the job in 30 sec. BTW, the bumper does not need to be taken off, The small inner liner part can be turned clockwise far enough to make space without having to undo that hidden nut.

I'm going to do this saturday. I've bought a new pair of control arms and pressed in some PU bushings from "Strongflex" Much cheaper than powerflex and arrives within 2 days from Poland. Now the hard part. Hopefully everything works out the same on my car. Noticed my car has some extra bits and bobs that make it a bit more difficult. For example some sensor type device on the rear anti-roll bar.

I found heating the knuckle by the ball joints helped a lot when I did mine over summer, same time as I did wheel bearings. Have to be careful not to melt the CV boot using oxy-acetylene. Was still an absolute pain though. Thanks for the video Tony, I'm sure it'll help a lot of people

Tony,great job,i tried this on my car 10 days ago on the drivers side,my pinch bolts were solid so got both sides so done the week before and replaced them with well greased new ones,on the drivers side i used one of the fork type tools to batter that ball joint out,the arm i was going to replace it with i had put the powerflex bush on the rear,to try and install it as it is so much stiffer than the original i jacked up the suspension only to pop out the inner driveshaft spider joint,car has sat like that for 10 days,new wish bones arriving tomorrow and mobile mechanic on saturday to sort out my drive shaft,my advise for anyone attempting to do these with powerflex bushes at home is don't do it,both new arms with rear powerflex bushes coming to ebay soon,cheers

@novakybalazs7737 2 жыл бұрын

Appreciate your videos TONY! I am not sure ,but you should get the torque on the bolts of the bushes after the car is sitting on its own weight. Otherwise you could rip them apart as I know. As you lift the car the arm goes down and you fix the bolts in this position right. When you put the car down the bush going to get too much move up because you fixed the bolts when that was in the air. That can cause damage on the bushes.

Fantastic video Tony - you're a saint for the G community! Just curious how much you paid (& where you bought them) for a new control arm with bushes included and also for the replacement drop links. Also noticed you've upgraded to some power tools - electric ratchet + wrench? #Fancy Maybe a review video of those tools for some future content?

@vialettotony 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Saleem. Thank you. Yes, the tools were a worthy investment for sure. Definitely makes light of things. The control arms were about £43 from AUTODOC. They took forever to arrive though nearly three weeks. The drop links were not as described either, so quite disappointed with them. (No spanner attachment to the main pin). Thanks for watching. All the best 👍
