    Just ordered the kit as well as all new brakes and a 2/4 drop kit. Your video was perfect, thanks for sharing.

    The nut u found by itself when you took off the lower control arm it was a motor mount bolt that goes through the frame
    Awesome vid 👍🏽

    Ok! Finally got around to doing the lower control arms yesterday! So, while doing it, notice I need to change the tie-rods. Arriving Wednesday. Then off for alignment. Looking at the front from street view, appears upper is toe in and lower tire outbound. I didn't notice anything we missed.

      All I can think of is they shipped the wrong parts?maybe the alignment shop can make sense of it?

      @@repairandsharegarage Thanks. I did check the parts again to be sure they were the correct replacements. All good on that front! Will post once I get it aligned.

      @@repairandsharegarage As my best guess, the replacement parts were not exact, so the tie rod measurements were a bit long. Alignment came back, and now dealing with intermediate steering rag bushing is bad! Never ending! lol

    Hey new to your channel.. Love the truck.. I’ve had several OBS and just actually changed this on my 96 Sierra.. Change your Pitman Arm and your Other steering arm buddy.. That play in the steering will be gone.. 🤙

    Good video. Something I would've like seeing how you removed the spring. Did you use a spring compressor?

    • @repairandsharegarage
      @repairandsharegarage  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks! With these trucks spring compressor wasnt really necessary. I’ve seen people put a length of chain looped around the bottom of spring to control arm just in case though. Once you loosen spindle bolts you can just work it out of there.

    Hey! Awesome video!
    I recently did the upper arms and was wondering, and I didn't take a look at the time, did you need to knock out any alignment tabs?

    Did you have to use a spring compressor to get the lower control arm off? You didn’t video that part. Thanks

      Hi, sorry about that , no I didn’t ; with everything unbolted there’s enough slack in these trucks to wiggle it out

      I have an 88 gmc thst i bought new and im doing the upper and lowers control arms for the first time since new. Truck has 294k on the odometer. Your video saves me having to buy a spring compressor. Thanks for a good video. 😁👍🇺🇸

      These are the ones I went with 1.5” wide
      The dust caps found them at autozone , I think it’s a Dorman dust cap
