Thank you, especially for showing us what normal play looks like! My dealership mechanic is very proactive, and after seeing your video I'm confident I can wait at least another season to replace lower control arm
thank you for watching and commenting
I love how he said preferably a woman. Haha. Made me laugh so hard
yeah baby..don't forget to subscribe
Lmao so nonchalant too
that's so funny because As soon as he said that ; my brain Wouldn't process any other words. so I stopped the video and had a laugh; that's when I saw your post lol
Haha I get my hubby to wiggle for me because I don't like letting anyone work on my vehicle but me
Jerk the wheel
Simple, yet effective. This technique helped me diagnose a loose upper control arm shaft bolt. Klowny For President 2024!
He'll yeah!!
Preferably a woman. Love it!
HAHAHA!
What a sleazy douche
0:39 had me crying
I prefer women too. Great comment.
Joe Monroe FINALLY someone that understands me!!
Thanks !
Thanks for watching
I have the same tires, goodyear assurance tripletred really like them
who cares?
I hate those tires imo
I would say they were bad already. That’s stationary! Imagine at 70mph on a highway
A little play is fine
Something leaking there Bro... Was your air con on 🙈
Lama 69 nah that’s gas
Lama 69 blinker fluid
Are you leaking ?
Annamarie O'Connor probably just water from ac

No..that's water..don't forget to subscribe 😉
I want to inspect this but I cannot find a woman is there any other way I can do this?
I think ur screwed tbh
can you call someone to help you hold the camera or move the steering wheel back and forth so that you can take a steady video?
Pointiess
why is it pointless? That's how we check these
Why did I bother watching this
Cause it's very informative
Makeup ad really UA-cam I DONT EVEN USE IT !!!
Elizabeth Marks-Graham was
You should write an indignant letter to someone
What the hell did you mean when you said " Preferably a Woman"
For jerking. :p
He meant a women because they are lighter then a men and wont put weight on the car when they sit in while his head is under looking... I got your back bro.
MOBILE COLLEGE lol thanks
MOBILE COLLEGE uh, the car isn't jacked up.... If the suspension is good and he doesn't have a fat ass head, the weight of the person shouldn't matter... So do you mean to say all men are morbidly obese?
no your just a bitch and cant handle a joke. get off the internet.
Smooth
👍👍
Would have been useful to see an example of a bad bushings movement but none the less very informative. Thank you sir
Thanks for watching
Would've helped if you showed a defective one. Then again every bushing fails in it's own different way and may not look similar. Good video nonetheless 👍
It would help if you compared the good control arm vs the bad one
If your control arm isn't bent or rotting away from rust, it's good. Its literally just a piece of metal.
@@1Psalmaday No shit, but what you are saying is completely irrelevant. Ziggy is talking about the control arm.
Sorry but I rather have a women jerk my wheel too
I find it better to find an old man to turn the wheel. I am a woman doing my own car repairs. Just something I've always done. An old man generally has nothing better to do. 😅 (My daughter wrecked the backend of my sweet baby Monte Carlo, I looked under and saw nothing but bars. I can do this. So I did. The only scary part was lowering the sway bar and getting it back. But, did it. Add a pre assembled shock and spring and done--Im totally bragging😊😅😂🎉)
Lol congrats on doing your own work!!
you can also check by watching the tire when you shift from park to drive or park to reverse if the wheel shows movement when you go from park to drive bushing are bad Their will also be a sporadic clunk in the front end when driving if you have both the bushings are bad
My drivers from end squeaks when it goes over and bumps at at.like a rubber kinda squeak. Also I drive a 5 speed and when i shift it always pulls forwards the left after I complete my shift .what do you think?
@@westsidedavie did you ever forget this out? I'm having the same problem and I believe it's either the driver side strut or lower control arm
That looked like a lot of play in my book
totally agree...
it would get flagged in my shop...
Okay good I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that had a lot of play lol
before he told us that was a "normal" one I said to myself "yep i bet thats a bad one that things movin all over" hahah
Too much play
I have some small tears in my bush yet when I did this test mine had no play at all.
"Preferably a woman" ?
dats right!!
HAHAHAHAHAH
Funny Shit!!1
woman jerking what??
LOL Klowny, I love your delivery. Bang on.
But - if its really wheel-shaped, see a surgeon.
Stay gold.
lol I love how there is always people trying to argue about something.
yes he does
Your all idiots...in America we do things differently..trump 2020
@@bloodybones63 bullshit man
Lies, all lies... no one is arguing about anything! What are you even talking about?!?!?!?! LOL
My girl turned the wheel whilst inside the car too. She felt good for helping me out.
Yeah baby
My woman is fat like me..Please provide clear instructions next time, you almost got me killed..
Do you need to replace the smaller bushing (the rotating one) arms too? Or just the big bushing one?
people watching these videos to see how the bad bushing looks like not the good one! or at least one bad VS good!
Does the Car have to be Raised?
No

I do have, an almost clunking/clicking sound on close to full steering on lock and my car pulls to the left slightly.
I had my wheels aligned etc. and the guy doing this said I need to replace the wishbones and (of course) the bushing due to being badly worn.
Could this be what is causing the pulling to one side?
The control arms would do it..don't forget to subscribe
@@klowny1969 makes sense lol.. it’s been absolute hell to drive! Constant corrections on my part. Thanks for the reply, I’m gonna find the parts and get this sorted!
And of course!👍
Bro, the example of it being "normal" is showing wayy too much play... no legit alignment shop would ever even try to align the car in that state...they should always check steering rack bushing, ball joints, inner tierods and control arms for play... that example would raise a red flag.. Thtas going to cause your toein to vary a Large degree, everytime you accelerate and bake... ignore it if you wish, just my 2 cents.
That's how much play that bushing is supposed to have..don't forget to subscribe
Right i just checked all of this like video, BUT i still get like a small squeak when going over bumps (noise from left side control arm) i just added WD40 Silicon to the bushings is that a good idea, well the squeaks over bumps have gone now
Mine did the same .bushing was dried out .just buy new control arms and you're good .word of advise ,when you put new ones on and torque the bolts ,you HAVE to do it under load .which means with the car in the ground or even have the knuckle jacked up with a jack .that goes with upper control arms as well
Thnx man I had the same squeaky noise just figured it was brushing cause I change my brakes and rotor
So instead of going through all that could you not just drive it and hear it I mean it doesn’t sound like a CV joint or anything like that it sounds like a low-key kinda clicking under light breaking and slowing down when the balance in the car is on the front for a short period of time while through all that trouble to do it when you could just drive around the block and you would know in about a half a second
A clunk in the front end can come from many other spots than just your control arm..don't forget to subscribe
What about the other side behind the rotor? This method doesn't factor this in. So this is only a partial detection method.
You're an idiot. NO do not do this, waste of time and can lead to problems with cv boots and steering assemblies depending on how much you yank the wheel.
Apparently you have never worked on a car before..what you are saying is ridiculous
How about showing a bad one dude instead of just telling us to look for a lot of play. Some of us will know what a lot of play looks like, a lot of people who are looking at this video won’t.

Thought the normal bushing was bad
It was good..you will know when it's bad
Me: oh your right I see the play in the bushing now
You: oh yea that's normal
People are so fucking sensitive these days, he obviously said that because women are lighter and the guy is just trying to help, give him a break
i did this and noticed that my new LCAs are making a creaking noise, i dont hear it when driving mainly when braking and turn left and right while stopped. i believe its only the right lca making the noise
Holy fuck don't ever make videos.
😂😂😂😂 0:43 😂
Yeah baby
A woman lol
Not a bad bushing but a broken control arm. Look at the crack!
No crack ..unless ur talking about...
Lol woman
could a bad control arm bushing cause a clanking noise going over bumps?
Tyler Keefe I have that same problem but I think it’s the struts but shit idk cause when I hit the brakes the front drivers side wheel clicks but only when I’m on the brake idk what to do
@@junwaen9649 same thing happened to mine
So i just got my car looked at for this problem. My car is crunching when i apply my breaks, Toyota said its my lower left control arm. Getting it fixed this weekend.
whitney charlette cool..easy fix
How much should it be if I have mechanic friend to order the parts an install them
whitney charlette well thats up to ur friend what he would charge u..u can check how much the part costs at rockauto.com
I changed my rims & tires plus the front roters & break pads and still I feel the wheel shake if I'm breaking between 45mph & 65mph... WTF. could this Lower control arm bushing be the problem? someone lmk if im on the right track... thanks
check the sway bar end links, usually thats the problem. cost about 30 bucks a set and 1 hour of labour, they are usually the culprit when it comes to shaking.
yes 90% sure it is
Might need a alignment. . wouldn't hurt
Looks like mine are going bad as well as my tie rods nice lol
Sorry to hear that lol . Don't forget to subscribe
That movement was normal??? It looked sloppy.
+John Doe yes..there is a little play from the bushings
it's an american car

My tyres are vibrating and the front at find out that u driving on highway and the car will not be able to accelerate and the front tyre s will begin skiing and the will not until it stop skiting and the tracking light will come on
Okay so what happens if I'm a woman but I'm the one working under the car? Will it spontaneously combust if a man turns the wheel for me? Just trying to prepare myself
whatever floats your boat
I was waiting to see how a bad one looks like 😑 and then the video is cut short
Preferably a women 😂
Preferably a woman. Uh oh that's just asking for an offensive comment
Lol

Thanx. Now I found my problem.

1:16 proceeds to jerk his own wheel
It happens! Don't forget to subscribe 😉
Well why make more simple by not doing the wheel jerking in the beginning. Skip that and look under the vechile while someone jerk the steering wheel the 2nd step? Are both steps needed it's the same step just the 2nd is more observation and hands on. It's not complex but no extra work if not neccessary. Thanks for the video I will check mine ASAP.
glad i was able to help you out!
i think he said preferably a wooden (chock wheel) not a fat woman
My girl got it totally wrong...
Oh boy
People r losers
Mine is broken and I am having a hard time Looking for a replacement

Umm .. your car is leaking .. I think you should get that checked out also
It's normal since it's from the AC.
Preferably a woman ha ha ha
Lol..don't forget to subscribe
@@klowny1969 I just did.
On the drivers side, if youre alone you can unroll the window and "jerk the wheel" while touching the rim.
Makes it a bit easier to hear AND feel clunks.
Stay gold.
why a woman?
My preference
Wow! The guy in the mini wind up car at the beginning is my brother in law! 😀
Have you subscribed to his page?
Nicola Clancy Is he really? whats his channel?
Blew my mind he said that was normal
Thats NOT NORMAL it should not move AT ALL.Ive done alignments for 30 years and i would not even bother aligning if i saw that movement
Lol you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about
I'm an ASE Certified mechanic I've been turning wrenches for over 40 years believe me I know what I'm talkin about
Take that in for a state inspection and Watch What Happens
@@klowny1969 I'm not going to sit here and argue with you but I call B.S when I see it and trust me if you think a control arm is supposed to move back and forth while turning the wheel then you just keep on thinking that. You'll never get a proper alignment with parts like that.
The “normal” one looked, sounded bad to me. 🤷♂️
It was fine..should have a little play..don't forget to subscribe

They are more pleasing to the eye ☺
Very informative video thank u
mujjuman thanks for watching
I hear a clicking or popping sound when I turn the wheel. Could that be the control arm bushing?
it can..but i would check the entire front end
Check the axle
It could be. It could also be leaking gas
Did you ever figure out what the root cause to the popping was?
Do you recommend doing both left and right bushing at the same time when one side goes bad?
Usually when one goes bad,the others are not far off,so I'd suggest doing them all at the same time✌
@@kb1248 so I just buy the bushing right I dont need to buy a new control arm
@@billetitosverdes7892 why would u want to buy a new control arm😂 unless your control arm snapped
@@billetitosverdes7892 In my situation I found two control arms complete with all bushings and ball joints for less than just the bushings on their own. So I'm going to swap those in, and save the old ones because I have some ideas on how to make cheap bushings.
Nice! subscriped.
Thank you
What make ur rear tire look bend when u drive
