That tip to jack up the front wheel suspension to fit the control arm into place was a life saver! Thank You !!!!

I was trying this for 4 hours just for 1 step, loose the strut, then I finished in 10 minutes, you’re the GOAT, keep doing this, a mechanic wants to charge me 1,100 usd for that work and I did it only with 150 bucks

TIP: Most of us don't have a lift which makes it a lot easier. When installing the ball joint into the upright, make sure both front wheels are supported off the ground otherwise you will be fighting the sway bar. Also set the steering straight ahead or you will be fighting the steering arm trying to move the upright.

I'm glad I watched this video before I actually start the work. O don't know how much will I take but for sure I'll work faster and safer! thanks for sharing

Wow seriously I had to subscribe you just made it a lot easier for me. Now I don't have to worry about that hub nut . You're the Man 👍🙏

About to change mine. Thanks for video it was very helpful

Dude you helped me out. Thank you!

Great video!!!!!

This was great. I'm at the shop working on one of these and this was a nice run down. how are you liking the KOBALT cordless impact? I'm considering purchasing a cordless as I currently have a air one that works amazing

Great job! Thanks you

Would love to have you around. Did not take you long at all

What is the reason for changing the whole entire Control Arm instead of just new bushings?

I’m not sure why I’m having such a pain in the ass time with this. Everytime I get the top of the rear bushing lined the bottom is out of line. Can’t get them both lined together.

So I wish I saw this video b4 i started the job because I'm only halfway done. The issue i have is, on both the OE (I'm assuming) & the new control arm the sway bar links are essentially resting on the control arms. When I google it others have the same issue but nobody posted the fix. Do you know why the sway bar links are hitting the control arms?

I'm doing this on my 08 Patriot. I am stuck on the bolt that has a captive nut on the inside. I tried to loosen it and it wouldn't budge and now the hex bolt is stripped and the 21mm socket slips once force is applied. What are my options? Appreciate and suggestions

U skipped how to get the arm in!! Just edit and walla

Would I need an alignment after doing this at home?

What year jeep is this? Also whered you get your parts from?

Just did mine today. I removed the upper bolt but forgot to loosen the one below it 💀

Just jack it up from the pinch welds on each side of the Jeep. Note: when removing the lower ball joint, the bolt used to squeeze the knuckle over the ball joint, the bolt is splined, so if you try to spin the bolt off using the bolt side instead of the nut side, you'll probably strip out the splines. With knuckle compressed, you can use an impact or hand ratchet to spin the nut off and tap the bolt out. I highly recommend removing the strut assembly complete from the strut tower as its connected to the anti sway bar and when released, the sway bar link wants to rest on the LCA making it difficult to line up the inner mounting bolts of the LCA. Also tap the trans axle out and use the bolt to pull it back in when reinstalling. Thanks for the video DC!!
