Good video only recommendations I would have would be to split the ball joint much earlier while the control arm bolts are in so there’s no play and u can hit them way harder aswell if ur not changing sway bar links u can disconnect both sides from the control arms and swing the sway bar down instead of unbolting it but great video
Can i ask what size the bolt is in the video at 2:33, when you mention the front control arm bushing. I havent found the right size and I need to find a replacment.
Aren’t you suppose to put load on the LCA when doing torque to spec? Otherwise it’s going to worn out quicker? That’s what I been reading in some groups. Haven’t done this job yet but will. Good video Btw

Great tips, I was thinking the same thing when I was editing the video lol
Your old ones still look good, but I'm no expert. Great job btw
I changed them cause I was having alignment issues. The shop I go to advised me to get new LCA.
@TONI5-25 Cool, thanks for your reply
Very helpful thank you!

Can you give sizes of each tool you used, or say it next time

Yes you are. Since my car is low I lifted the LCA with the jack and torqued all the bolts down to spec.
Did you get an alignment done afterwards?
Yes I did
You axle boot is ripped.
Yeah I know. Expect a video for it in the near future.
What does it improve?
Slightly better ride quality. My old ones were a bit torn.
I sub
Thank you!
I gotta get some ratchet wrenches 😅
Yeah they definitely help
I found that out very soon into this job. 😂 I have some but they’re an hours drive away at my mom’s house
