    I replaced my upper control arms on a Ram 1500 rwd because of squeaking. They still squeak after being replaced, any help?

    Again here iam watching this video, really
    Good man, even more
    Cuz you had this trailblazer for me see how do that, I didn’t remember last time i watched, i just was doing yesterday this exactly same side, i just bended that frame part to used drinking tool. When i had it tightened at first i felt like it wasn’t right, cuz I remembered when loosing the ball joint bolt and hitting it up the control arm went up like if was a spring on tension so i loosened it again and
    Dropped the car before tightening it again. Could be also unconscious memory of your video last time i watched. Iam fed up of this trailblazer but is actually not bad car, the issues is known by many so easy on diagnostics, the front differential is horrible design and yeah the Engineers or were drunk, completed their degrees with real bad grades or was sabotaging the company, maybe was their last day working on chevy and was a friday. Is nice ridin car still. For the ones who doesn’t live in snowee winters could just deactivate mechanically the front diferential

    Instead of using a Dremel (I don’t have one) I had to take the battery and tray out and sawzall the actual steel part of the car. After that I was golden. The rear part/plastic is real stubborn
