Aye bro! Control arm bolts are designed to not be able to fall out of place in case of them loosening over time. It's an extra safety precaution for them not to fall out while driving.
Seeing Gavin work on the Tesla in the drive way of the garage, brings me back to the days of him working on his car in the parking lot of him and Daniels place, good times 🙏🏼
its actually like that so if the bolt backs out it cant fall all the way out and you wont drop a control arm from that point. kinda smart but screws us techs in the end
Gavin thanks for posting some great vids been catching up since I’m in the hospital after I just had some major surgery done thanks for being able to put a smile on my face an making me laugh keep up the great work man can’t wait to see this done
@@BiggWaveee wouldn't really call repairing a wrecked car a "build" lmao....also bro you look far too old to be book marking you sentences with emojis hahah
@@taylormullis4942 what does my age have anything to do with what I choose to put in my sentences? And clearly if you read their comment below, it asked for suggestions for what they'll do after the fact when they finish the repair. Thanks for your comment though!
I’m so glad you have a clue when it comes to working on your own cars! This is why I love your channel, no idea what your doin (tesla stuff) but smart enough to figure it out almost every time! Some people are still looking for their clues lol keep up the great work Gavin
Look at this in tesla's perspective that bolt is in the perfect spot and its the best engineering ever because when you go get something done at a shop they can charge you more for how much work they had to do
Lol man this takes me back to the early days back when you lived at the apartment. Brings tears to my eyes. The memories. Been here since the Corvette :relieved: but didn't start consistently watching until the video where the cop told you to get another car lol
finally graduated bootcamp and i can’t be happier to catch up on all the videos i missed while i was gone. was looking forward to this for a long time 🙌🏽
Skip the penetrating oil and mix some ATF and Mineral spirits 50/50. I've had it break some things loose that all others had failed to, had a shop owner with a metallurgy degree tell me there was no saving my dads old Ford ranger steering shaft cause he had the best and tried it all... look on his face when I brought it back the next day completely freed up was priceless...
This just made my day ya know just chillin click on the video and hear asa hayes I thought it was wild that he liked it let alone put it on the channel
gonna get Don't lose sight tattoo and also keep moving forward . You Gavin and TJhunt have made such a big impact on my life with ya vids so i just need too do it.
So the way you said the bolt should be done on the control arm is correct, the bolt head is supposed to face the direction of motion, aka forward, so if the nut were to back out the bolt wouldn't fall out as easy, but i guess the way they did it would make it impossible to come out on accident
If you EVER have a problem with rotor set screws remember get it to where it abt to turn then this your hand with ya other hand and it breaks it loose every time
I guess the brake dust shield isn’t necessary. Weight reduction. I guess the bolt that was sawed off was a way Tesla could figure out if anyone messed with the suspension. Great job BTW rebuilding the right suspension.
Love the videos been here since dom the grom. I can relate to your music so much and I honestly wanna be like you when I grow up I made a water bottle with a bunch of you’re sponsors and the Dls logo at school. I rep you guys almost all the time with my hoodie key tag and phone case. In the video where you revealed the mclaren the end clip where you were talking about what don’t lose sight mean has motivated me a lot lately. Thank you for being such a great role model for many people and I hope to spread some dls vibes soon
Rich Rebuilds can definitely probably hook you up on some Tesla parts. He started his career building Teslas and i believe even overcame legal trouble because Tesla don't like people working on them haha
Ford fusions/Mercury Milan’s/Lincoln whatever it it has it like that too just had to deal with it to change the swing arm and lift the motor to change the same style ball joint for the front control arm
Man wish I could pull up in my car and get it restored. ! Been watching this channel for a while man. My exhaust systems gotta get fixed. I drove a 08 HHR SS.
Hey man just wanna let you know you should check the battery health. Electric cars that have been chrased might loose some battery health and it is expensive replacing battery
Love the Tesla. What a seriously have to ask what are you gonna come out with some dls seat covers? I need to open for my ecoboost Mustang lol They were probably sell out just as fast as the decal stickers
The bolt is mounted the wrong way on some Teslas it is supposed to be a nut towards the battery. Tesla bjorn recently posted a video and said “according to Tesla just cut the bolt and put in a new from the other way.
hey i know its been a while since you posted about the super-duty but could be get a update about it an if you were thinking about doing mods to it, like idk exhaust or something 👍
Ford 5x4.5 wheels fit Teslas.....time for some new ones lol Also i like Robs comment about hsi tac bag Rob- Hii Camera man- Heh, Whatcha got there? Rob- Smoothie
I,d replace hub & bearing , sucks doing job twice , pretty sure your going to have wheel bearing noise , after completing test drive , hub took brunt of impact , what's new hub n bearing cost

Best reference possible.
Was wondering if anyone caught that aha
It’s that from icarly?
We do have four arms daniel

Thank you Gavin dad joke of the century
They aren't dad jokes unless your a dad. Otherwise they are just bad jokes
One day. Maybe just one day. Ill be as proud of myself as I am of a man I never even met. Congrats on ur success Gavin.
Gavin: “how tf am I supposed to get this bolt out”
Elon: (laughing his ass off, with money laying around him)
its actually like that so if the bolt backs out it cant fall all the way out and you wont drop a control arm from that point. kinda smart but screws us techs in the end
@@beastoptic2106 could've just used a castle nut or put the bolt head facing forward
@@kevinmoore6640 then the bolt could back right out all the way and your drop a control arm
Man i kinda miss this content where its just gavin sitting on a concrete ground doing work on cars
me too 😔 This content is still fire 🔥
I agree, I was going to say this
This video had an OG feel to it like back in the days when you were wrenching in an apartment parking lot.

I was bored asf and when I seen the the video uploaded my day just got better
Damn I almost like the normal intro more than the Camaro intro just almost. Love the consistent uploads keep it up .
Aerokroil has the. Best. Smell ever. It's all I have used for years thanks to my dad. Keep it up brotha!!!
Any progress is good progress bro the Tesla is gonna be clean in the end
Rob *Holding giant gun case*
"What you got there?"
Also Rob "Smoothie"
Definitely can't wait to see how good this rebuild turns out!
Hopefully as good as stock maybe lmao
It better be good as it's the next giveaway car lol

No i don’t have “dont lose sight” tatted on me, but it means more than just being a fan of your channel. Keep doing what ya do ❤️💪🏼
Gavin yanking on a chain
“look at that, that is f***ing beautiful”😂😂
Broooooooo, throwback af to gavin working with a go-pro on his head and a car in the driveway on JACKSTANDS😢 good good times lol.
That axle pull with the chain was what I like to call "Driveway Genius". It'll work when ya make it, or you'll make it work.

It is cool to see the car moving under its own power! I never thought I’d see Gavin so excited about a Tesla.
This just made my day ya know just chillin click on the video and hear asa hayes I thought it was wild that he liked it let alone put it on the channel
gonna get Don't lose sight tattoo and also keep moving forward . You Gavin and TJhunt have made such a big impact on my life with ya vids so i just need too do it.
That penetrating oil works wonders I use it for everything and never went back to anything else amazing stuff
Did you put the brake dust shield back on or did you throw it away?
“Whatcha got there”
“a smoothie” 10/10 best response
With the lower control arm if you go under the car there are bolts holding the mount for it the the fram un bolt those then pop the bolt out
13:08 "Whatcha got there?" "A Smoothie."
So the way you said the bolt should be done on the control arm is correct, the bolt head is supposed to face the direction of motion, aka forward, so if the nut were to back out the bolt wouldn't fall out as easy, but i guess the way they did it would make it impossible to come out on accident
You didn’t put the break dust shield back on! Your warranty will be voided without it installed... 😂
I love how the "whatcha got there? - A smoothie" convo flowed 🤣
Carfax: “clean title, no accidents”
REPRESENT! Fellow brown Santa here, love your stuff Gavin, I have a LT1. Dream to be like you someday bro
If you EVER have a problem with rotor set screws remember get it to where it abt to turn then this your hand with ya other hand and it breaks it loose every time

The old parking lot and camaro vibes are back!!

Been using Kroil for a long time. Definitely the best of its kind. 🏎💨💯
Well done man got it moving by it’s self
Its so cool to see Gavin learning to work on cars ☺️
I honestly think the reason I subbed to you was because I saw you using Aerokroil on the old camaro... Love that shit
Man,you guys surprise me with new video every time and keep up the great work.
12:22 they do that so if it needs replaced they can charge more bc of all the work it takes
Ford fusions/Mercury Milan’s/Lincoln whatever it it has it like that too just had to deal with it to change the swing arm and lift the motor to change the same style ball joint for the front control arm
13:10 a smoothie 😂😂
iCarly reference!
It's nice to see you working on cars again
13:10
Andrew - what ya got there?
Rob - a smoothie
So hyped for the show man, can’t wait till you can tell us about it!
Not sure if gavin is planning on replacing the brake caliper and or hoses, but it's never good to let it hang like that on the concrete
16:02 “we do have 4 arms, right here”!!!
That made me laugh 😂
Man wish I could pull up in my car and get it restored. ! Been watching this channel for a while man. My exhaust systems gotta get fixed. I drove a 08 HHR SS.
11:46 yeah everyone just cuts it and threads it in the other direction with thread locker.
I think it’s funny when delivery drivers seem like that they can relate to everything
Hey man just wanna let you know you should check the battery health. Electric cars that have been chrased might loose some battery health and it is expensive replacing battery
that intro give me the chills every time :3
This is gonna be a great series!!
Best thing to do for that control arm bolt. Is to cut it off. And when replacing it. Install it the other way.
Im pretty sure the reason they put bolts in like that is so if the bolts backs out it wont drop the lca and cause you to lose control

Gavin, I think you forgot to put the heat shield back in... unless you did that on purpose

Liquid wrench and 3000 are also good alternative
I fucking love how people on UA-cam tell you that you'll hate something, or can't do something, and then you immediately prove them wrong.
Since you go to Atlanta all the time, what if you look into Magnum Collision, DIWD and Justin use them if I’m not mistaken
Funny enough on the new edge mustangs they have that same issue with the lower control are bolt hitting the k-member
Love the Tesla. What a seriously have to ask what are you gonna come out with some dls seat covers? I need to open for my ecoboost Mustang lol They were probably sell out just as fast as the decal stickers

Notifications kinda worked but I'm here now.
Hey gavin since you already had experienced doing wide body, why not a widebody tesla for the channel?
What a nice surprise this evening, just looked up a widebody tesla and damn🤣
😂😂
Why do I have a feeling the Tesla is gonna get wide bodied and bagged 🔥🔥
Just saw the show the other day you did so good at driving
Fun fact about the lower control arm bolt, you remove it from the foot well of the passenger side
KROIL IS THE BOOOOMMMBBB
My uncle and my dad got that same tattoo and THEY LOVE IT
hey i know its been a while since you posted about the super-duty but could be get a update about it an if you were thinking about doing mods to it, like idk exhaust or something 👍
Put an extra double A battery in it some slicks and take it to the drags
was the TV show worth it in your opinion? or is that yet to be seen?
Loving the tesla content
Ford 5x4.5 wheels fit Teslas.....time for some new ones lol Also i like Robs comment about hsi tac bag

I,d replace hub & bearing , sucks doing job twice , pretty sure your going to have wheel bearing noise , after completing test drive , hub took brunt of impact , what's new hub n bearing cost
I used Aerocroil back in the Air Force to break free of nuts and bolts on a F-15 Augmentor 20 yrs ago.
I use kroil all the time.... My dad is a airplane mechanic and they use that stuff all the time and he brings it home for us to use
Have you spoken to Brooks from Drag times for the set of Tesla wheels that he was selling?
Gavin: alright I’m going have to get some assistance in this one.
Gavin right after: Hey Doug 🥺👉🏽👈🏽
