Only thing that I would say is that those aren’t washers!! Those are cam phase bolts and are adjusted to position the axle in the wheel well
A little anti-seize would help when installing the new bolts. That way they won't rust in place for the next time they have to be changed out.Thanks for sharing...
A hammer isn't the right tool for every job but every toolbox needs a hammer
My control arm bushings are bad on my 06 2500 and everything is the same under my front end if i change them one at a time i wont have to jack it up ?
How did u get the new one in ?
I made the mistake of buying the cheap control arm sets off of EBay for my '12 Ram 2500. Problem is, even the seller that I bought from advertised "Limited Lifetime" warranty, so good luck trying to get replacement poly bushings when they break or wear out. My seller won't even reply to EBay, so I contacted several other manufacturers to see if they know how to get the bushings. No luck. All replied back that they only sell the whole set, so I am out another $250+, but I will end up going with a Carli or Thuren set since they are American made and have replaceable parts.
These are the ones I bought, so be forewarned!!! The seller is NON RESPONSIVE, most likely in China even though they are being shipped from California.

Why did you change the control arms? Was there a handling problem?
Hmmmm…. Someone didn’t watch the video 🤔
@lovelessranch thanks for your reply! I did in fact watch the video. I ask if the man making the video noticed a handling problem before he noticed the loose control arm. Or did he simply wake up one morning and thought to himself man nothing I wanna do more today is go out to my truck and wiggle my control arms to see if there loose!
