Replacing Lower Control Arm and Ball Joint. Learn how to replace a lower control arm with the lower ball joint. I show the process in a 95 ford windstar but it is similar in many different makes and models. This is a single arm control arm with a strut bar for support. A wishbone lower control arm will be similar minus the strut bar.

You explain things very well, thx
Is lower control arm located on right or left of the car on toyota camry 2007 so I can know which one to buy ..for driver side ?
This was literally exactly what I needed. Very well made
Best how to videos
Someone selling a car needed lower control arm thank you so much
I felt super confident about changing my upper and lower control arms for the front of my car. Unfortunately I could not get the castle nut off along with three other bolts and nuts. They are probably the original nuts and bolts when the car was built, 04. So discouraging that I couldn’t get the job done, I honestly wanted to cry. Best of luck to the people who work on their own vehicles.
Why retorque it?
Tools will cost me more than parts, I think lol
👍
Chris, will this task be similar to my 97 Accord? My suspension looks similar. If so, I refer to your video 👍
Is this to all lower control arms. I have 98 ml 320 need do and u make ur videos so easy
I have Mazda 6 2008 how to change left side front control arm
Such an amazingly detailed video for someone like me – a girl who tries to make money selling cars – deffo gonna attempt this on a car I’ve got my eye on 😀
I have a Saab 9-3 Convertible with the exact same problems. I ordered both sides from Ebay yesterday when they come I hope to get them fitted along with the rear engine mount and the car will drive like it should. Like the videos Chris keep them coming.
Perfect, I absolutely smoked a curb this is so helpful, any tips on what to do if my car no longer has traction control? 😅
Thanks Chris. Much appreciated!
Great Vid Chris! Inner lower control bushing should be tightened after suspension is at ride hight. The strut bar might not be an issue, but the lower needs to have zero preload on rubber bushing. Maybe I missed it.
