New Control Arm with Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ASLF00923
This video shows you how to install a new quality TRQ lower control arm with ball joint in your 2013-2016 Dodge Dart. Control arms are a crucial part of the suspension system of your vehicle. They not only carry the load of the vehicle to the wheel, but they typically also maintain its alignment. Control arms are typically large and strong, so you may be surprised it needs replacing. They contain rubber bushings for smoother rides at the cost of eventual wear, or integrated ball joints that require replacing the entire arm when they wear.
This repair was done on a 2014 Dodge Dart GT 2.4L Sedan 4-Door FWD Manual and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2013 Dodge Dart
2014 Dodge Dart
2015 Dodge Dart
2016 Dodge Dart

This is great. We have my son's 2013 Dart while he's deployed and his lower's bushings are starting to crack. When I initially had it up on the lift it looked to be a much bigger job than what you just demonstrated, but now I think I can tackle it no problem. Using the muffler bracket is a great idea. I run into that issue more often than I'd like. Thanks!

TRQ, sir, I always enjoy watching your repair by replacement of parts especially on the 2013 to 2016 Dodge Darts! I would definitely feel very comfortable with you working on my car indeed! Thank you... P.S. I like how you torque bolts with accurate ft./lbs. as well. Some mechanics and/or DIYers don't always use torque wrenches...

I used a tie down rope instead of a hook tool worked great 👍

Does it have to be ride height when tightening

[@xivy199]

The bolt to drop the ball joint is literally stuck won’t just slide out no idea how I’m supposed to get it out any idea?
