I was first quoted $2400 (8 hrs labor) to replace L & R control arms due to cracked bushings on my 07 XLE. Then they came back and said they could do it in 6 hrs which drops it to just over $2K. Cars only worth 3-5 K so not sure what I should do. Any thoughts and no I can't do it myself. The control arms were replaced 4/19/18. 6 years ago and 36K miles ago. Shouldn't they last longer than that? Thanks in advance.
Pretty cool explained video , I would have loved to see the kind of damage or worn out part and what noises were the indication of the problem. My car make a noise while at high speed on the freeway and a little clunk when i brake , also a little noise while turning at a very low speed . Iam afraid it can not be just the worn out bushing on ghe lower control arm .
one of those 2 front bolts on the arm looked like it siezed while backing it out. I had that happen to me. scored the bolt on the way out (should have shot some penetrating oil in there first) and had to replace it w/a new one. Toyota wanted $ 24 for it so I went to Broward Bolt, got one for less than $ 3 (got several for future) and had to chase the nut w/a tap (M16x1.5). be careful out there.
Are the instructions the same for the right side? I always see the left side is the one being explained… Is that because it’s different or more difficult?
I payed no more than 150$ for parts. Labor should cost around 200-300$. You’re getting scam if you pay more than what you have to. Best to know how much you have to pay!!!

TRQ-- Would this repair look the same on a 2011 Toyota Venza ?? Both cars use the same platform, correct ?? Amazing repair video, BTW !!!

thanks for the help...........
It's better to remove the torque mount and loosen the front mount. That way you can raise the engine easily. He was lucky. It's not that easy.
