Next time you have a bolt of some type that just spins like that control arm, apply pressure to it laterally against the threads, your tire iron would have worked perfectly. Common mechanic trick because tie rod ends always do that, you found out shocks do too.

[@MillennialDad92]

The stock control arm bolt wasn’t spinning, I know I said it was but it wouldn’t move at all lol it was seized to the metal sleeve in the bushing unfortunately. Thanks for the tip

[@mikeylagz]

Aha! You removed the muffler !

[@gnash615guy3]

I enjoyed this video. I've done springs/shocks/struts a few times but never replaced control arms. Seems feasible now. However, I would like a follow up vid or comments on if you actually notice a difference in the ride, like was control arms actually worth the hassle to replace. Anyways, great vid!

[@MillennialDad92]

Just seen this. Not a huge difference, but felt a little more solid

[@COBRO98]

Ironically the stamped OEM control arms are stronger than tubular despite what people say on the internet, you can just pull the control arms off and replace the bushings instead of the entire arm, saves money

[@serserrano1]

Very informative and easy to follow video on said installation. Well done dude.

[@MillennialDad92]

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

I'd be interested to know how in the world you torqued everything once on the ground. I'm about to get all of this done on my late father's car and there's no way I can get that far under there with a torque wrench lol!

[@MillennialDad92]

Skip to 26:40 and listen for about 20 seconds. I explain how I use cribs to get the car under load while it’s in the air. I make them out of 2x4’s and show an example in the video

[@MillennialDad92]

You could also simply drive it up on those plastic ramps you buy for oil changes or whatever. Cribs get it a good bit higher up in the air tho so that’s why I made them. You’ll spend about the same money for the ramps as you would for the 2x4’s

[@pchappy2.0]

@@MillennialDad92 if I could heart your comment back I would lol. I heard you say it and you point right at the cribs, but I guess it didn't register! Thanks for clarifying, awesome work and nice car!

[@MillennialDad92]

@@pchappy2.0 no problem at all, glad I could help. And thanks man!

[@youtubeuser5424]

Lol all you have to do is drop the car on jackstands under the axle, and there you go,

Thanks for showing some love!

[@BeagleBob-zw7wg]

Those sprigs are very soft. With my motor and trans out the car still sits very low.

[@chez51san]

How long did the control arms last you (bushings)?

[@MillennialDad92]

I’ve been driving on them for almost a year now.. still look brand new. I check everything on the car once a month or so

[@ajhettinger1013]

Dont need the quad shocks since you swapped to tubular arms.....

[@COBRO98]

The quad shocks keep the axle housing in place under load, they're necessary unless you want your axles twisting all over

[@JermaineWilburn-xt3mc]

a tell us how it rides

[@littlebastardsracing49]

I just ordered same set for my GT how did they hold up"

[@MillennialDad92]

Been running them for a year and they’re still good

[@don7680]

Just how uncomfortable (and ugly) is that steering wheel wrap?
