@curtbernard755 Control arms should be tightened in the position they will be at when the vehicle is on the ground. Known as ride height. The rubber bushings allow a certain amount of movement up and down. Ride height should be the center of that movement. The bushing will then be under no tension except for when a bump is hit. If it isn't, the rubber will be stretched at all times, and bumps will cause more stretching. The rubber will eventually tear.
I was wondering how to re-tension the spring. I was thinking about using my jack, glad to know it will work! Helpful video thanks
Thanks for the video. I was trying to avoid taking the breaks apart but end of the day you have to take almost everything apart anyways.
good job. getting ready to replace my upper and lowers on my gmc,savanna
I forgot I was watching a how to vid about midway through bc I was beating on drums. Lol, great vid and song to go with it.
Great detail. Thank you
Hell yeah!!! I’m doing the same thing on a 3500 box truck that o just picked up!
I only watched the whole video to listen to RUSH! (Saw what I needed to after a few minutes)
i guess we all came here just to see how to compress the springs lol
I hope you tightened those control arms at ride height. If not, they will wear out prematurely.
Explain?

Nice job i smell isn't a easy task not for beginners 👍👍👍
No need for a spring compressor???
What were the symptoms I got uneven wear on the front tires could be the lower Control arm?
great video...
so you don't need to compress those springs? I'm about to change the upper and lower control arms on my 03 express..
No need to compress them just jack up under the lower control arm
These springs are killing me, so much tention can't put front end back together.
@@jhonyzelaya7019yeah is not easy it takes lots of weight to compress those springs. use a jack but be very carefull.
I was hoping you showing the front end of the van to see how lowered it turned out to be!
You didn’t 💁
Too shaky and way too fast to see what you are doing. 🥺
Did you break another camera 😂😂😂
no cameras were harmed in the filming of this video... if it wasn’t for the heavy duty case we definitely would have lost two more!
Can't see shit
Can’t see shit lol
