New Control Arm with Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ASLF00232
Control arms are a crucial part of the suspension system of your vehicle. They not only carry the load of the vehicle to the wheel, but they typically also maintain its alignment. Control arms are typically large and strong, so you may be surprised it needs replacing. They contain rubber bushings for smoother rides at the cost of eventual wear, or integrated ball joints that require replacing the entire arm when they wear. This video shows you how to install a new quality TRQ lower control arm with ball joint in your 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber.

Not sure if you happen to know, but would a 2008 Dodge Nitro be similar?

[@richardlegg4995]

What was the purpose in removing the axle?

[@manuel3hernandez]

I didn’t take it out and I broke the transmission seal

[@kenithj76]

It's never that easy lol ..

[@thehotspot2667]

[@eriknobles3946]

I have a 07 caliber and I’m having a hard time removing the lower ball joint from the steering knuckle I took all of the bolts out used the pickle fork and I have no luck at all

[@brandonmartin7260]

What size sockets and wrenches please

[@Xavier_playz_roblox]

How do you change camshaft synchronize

[@WRENCHGODLLC]

I'm doing this on the driver side now... so far the nut on the front is spinning and looking like I will have to cut a hole in the frame to get to it soon as how there is no access to the nut....🤣😂oh the joys of being a mechanic

[@billcornwall5696]

1 1/4 socket fits the axel nut better

[@dwdarkwing1419]

Guessing this is basically the same for the 12 avenger?

[@purplehazers92]

Seems like extra work removing the axle.

[@coleandmicheal2500]

Yeah but it could break your transmission seal if you dont
