Hopefully I can just get back there with a swivel head and get to that nut without taking everything else off. Will find out in a few days.
Good video though! All the other ones are the rear knuckle. Nothing on this.

I only removed the wire and the 2 bolts that hold the control arm. Put a box end Wrench on the bolt side then you can go under the car, reach between the muffler and subframe and then over it. Use a deep well socket , 5 or 6” extension and crank the nut off. So easy it took longer to watch this video.

I put a cordless power rachet back there! Lol
Good video. Saving it to malibu diy collection

hi and great video....ty. at 3:50 you used your air ratchet to take out that large bolt, and the other, to loosen the subframe i guess its called. I cant fully remove that bolt you did first. I think to my dismay that the weldnut thats hidden inside that frame rail gave way. Bolt wont come out but did loosen. UGH. any ideas?
After watching the video again I didnt mean to remove any if them. The 2nd bolt never came out for me. Dropping it that inch or two gives you enough room without removing the k frame completely. Now if you mean they don't come out st all im not sure. Im not sure if you can even see the top of it to see if the base is spinning.
Thanks a lot

Besides the upper and lower control arm, and the shock and spring, is there any other suspension part you could replace? Such as sway bar link?
All cars have different suspension but simpler cars you do have sway bar links, sway bar bushings.
Great video. Question. I know that I need to replace my rear control arms on my 09 G6 sedan. Would that also cause my rear wheels to lean inward?
Definitely
I have the same problem
Can you make a video of how to replace rear lower forward control arm I can’t find any videos on how to

I noticed the plastic pins for the brake cable is opposite of your control arm and the placement seems different does it matter the side you out the control arm

Hello This is a good video you did.Gonna save it.. But what was actually wrong with the control arms..
One of the bushings were worn. Dry rotted I believe
@@AnythingAuto Hello I was wondering if you could help me with something on my 2012 malibu.All I did was change the plugs and now the ESC is on.And I even replaced the throttle body and nothings changed..Next I'm gonna put new ignition coils on..Hop I ng that will fix it..
@@jeremytyra07 what was it? Mass air flow sensor?
How can I tell if I actually need to replace any of this? I have bad inner tire wear trying to figure out why. Had an alignment done on the rear but apparently a bolt was stripped. I have the upper control arm off. But I’m trying to find out the official cause or what to actually check to have it replaced and then realign it once again.
Best thing to do is check the rubber bushings. If it's torn or dry rotted that's a good sign. i hope this video helps. feel free to like and subscribe for more & if you can, please help the channel out by giving a super thanks.

Got back underneath. My bushings are indeed shot on the control arm on both sides. Not the upper but the one to the left of the upper if on driver side. To the right if on passenger side. Those bolts will not come out for anything.
@@tristenbrown1317 short of cutting them off (buy new bolts first) is some times the only options.
Do you know the ft lbs for those bolts on the control arm?
No,
Could those rear an upper control arms cause wear on the inside of your tire?.
Yes, if the bushing is bad the control can travel but also a lot of factors to that
Okay thanks. Dunno if my bushing are bad but went to change my rear tires yesterday to my em winters, an they wear down on the inside.
@@NwS_Sykowhat was the issue I’m seeing the same on my rear tires
I hate to be that guy and it might not matter but you put the lower arm bolt in backwards. Thank you though for this video. Will come in handy.
No that does not really matter but yes good observation though. Now if the arm was put in backwards that may be an issue but the next person who does I will just flip around the tools
@@AnythingAuto just got done with doing mine about 5 minutes ago. Not as easy as the shocks. Lol. Thanks again.
@@myleaninggarage heck no! Save a bunch of steps not dropping it all but still takes a while. Hope it helped
Did you have to realign the car?
Anytime you mess with that stuff you should but more than likely it does not affect anything
What size tools you use?
So long ago I couldn't tell you.
What year is the malibu
2011
How much would a body shop charge to do this??
A body shop wouldn't tackle this job. A shop can charge around $217 for labor but could be more or less depending on their hourly rate
@@AnythingAuto my estimate $600!!!
@@pedwards6972 that sounds excessive
@@AnythingAuto that was both sides with parts
That's not penitrating oil just fyi
Good to know. This is the first time I've ever heard this. Well it was an oil that helped me penitrate the rust. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Like and subscribe for more
