The control arm nut on the ball joint can you over tighten that 18 mm

This is a very good video. I had no problem replacing the control arms on my 2000 Chevy truck. The only thing I had to do different is I had to unbolt the brake line to get one of the bolts out of the control arm. I saw that coming and was prepared to take it loose. Thanks again!!!

Think how pimped out this suburbans going to be by the time Mike and the guys get done with showing America how to install everything. Thanks guys. Going for a test drive now in my 2003 Z71 that was just outfitted with new steering components bought from A1Auto. Ordered parts on Monday hitting the beach on Friday. Long live the burbs!!

I'm about to give this a go. The video looks extremely helpful. Big shout out to you guys for giving the list of tools needed up front. I was able to see that my 21mm socket was lost, and get to the store for a new one before taking everything apart.

Yeah so I assumed I would âgive it a goâ today as well. 8 hours later I got one side replaced after hours of pounding and eventually cutting those rusty bolts out. Hope it went better for you
by far the most profession repair videos! as long as your website is competitive in pricing I'm going to start buying from y'all instead of amazon!

The A arm bolts go in from the inside out, it does make a difference. If you leveled your truck body with lifting keys.
You need different upper control arms. OEM \stock ones throw the camber off. It would be good idea to replace the (3) pitman idler arms and bracket, if you have a high milage truck.
You make everything look so easy đ«¶đŒđ my 02 Michigan trucks donât like me that much. But I always order from 1Ađ€đŒ
Thank you u guys have been saving me 1000s of dollars
If only my ball joints would separate from the knuckle so easily. Same could be said when I went to do the hub assembly. Here in MN, rust is a better adhesive than JBweld, I swear.
8lb sledge works like a charm
Anti-sieze would be good to put on the bolts when reinstalling them.
Y'alls videos have helped me learn so much, thank you!
1:40 dude hitting two wrenches at once đȘđȘ
+Third Coast Hustle Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Thank you guys you just helped my replace my upper control arm on my 2002 suburban!
A few heads ups for whoever does this in a different spec truck!
1. If you have wheel speed sensors, you will need to buy new brackets for the wire. Part number 15715954, special order from GM or GMPartsGiant. For the time if you donât have it just use a zip tie.
2. You may need to undo the 10MM bolt for the metal brake line bracket to fully remove your camber bolts. You may also need to bend it upwards (gently!!!) out of the way.
Great video but just a few things I encountered.
Thanks for the videos I have learned a lot from you guy's I now how to do everything on car or truck

Thank you 1A Auto for all the helpful videos
toromecanico03 No problem. Thank you for watching. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
When the guys I work with told me before I put the upper control on said that have that a knockout tabs every video that I seen from 2002-2006 I don't see anybody knocking out the tabs. I just have a question to are there any on the 2006 two-wheel drive Chevy trucks please get back to me other than that I love watching your videos there are amazing they helped me through so much with all my cars and trucks.
Currently in the middle of this job on my folk's 2005 Sierra 4wd. It's from Vermont, two of the bolts that hold the control arms on broke. (One on each side) All of the bolts are stuck. I've tried heating them with MAP gas. air hammer, etc. I'm literally going to torch them out tomorrow. What should have been a simple job has tuned into a 2+ day affair.

If you don't have an air hammer an electric hammer drill will suffice.
The bolt that connects the arm to the wheel on mine will just not come off. What do I do?

Great video.
Do you line up the alignment brackets with your liquid paper marks as you tighten everything up? Also, does it matter if you replace the stock upper control arm before or after installing 2" leveling torsion keys? Thank you for your video. Great filming and well narrated.
How do you distinguish an adjustable and non adjustable control arm. Does it having camber/caster adjuster mean it's adjustable
What if u don't have a air hammer to get the control arm bolt out what do u use
Hey guys I've been struggling to find the torque specs for the ball joint stud?! Any help?
Thanks
How do remove the control arm bolts when they are rusted to the inside tube of the bushing and spin when the rubber is torn, how do you get them out on a 2000 chevy suburban 2500 4x4
Hey man I just had the same problem. I had to use a reciprocating saw to cut the bolt off on both sides just on the inside of the bracket. You need a carbide tip $10 blade.
How do you move the axle if you jack it up on the knuckle
Snapped the two control arm bolts trying to remove the nut. Completely seized up. Tried beating them out with a hammer and punch tried turning them on the bolt side and broke the heads off. Tried a air hammer and still canât get them to budge. Any suggestions? And I canât seem to find replacement bolts for it. Got any?
Do you guys have a video on a 1991 Chevy K1500? Or in a mor direct question are the tools the same?
Just got my control arms from you guys for my 06 Silverado , how come mine didnât come with the grease nipples ? Theyre just threaded holes
+Juan Gonzales The parts should come as already being pregreased. If they were not pregreased, please give us a call and we can assist you further with a replacement or refund.
Did you just not show torquing the ball joint and A arm nuts or did you not torque them?
+Bill Clisham Thank you for checking us out. We apologize, but torquing the ball joint and a arm nuts were not shown, but were tightened to complete the repair. 1aauto.com
What type of grease would I need to use to grease the ball joints and tie rods?
Cant get my 2000 silverado passenger side bolt out because of the spring.
I was gonna do this but looks more difficult than just replacing upper ball joints
Any idea why the nuts on your upper control arm are on the outside but my 03 Sierra 2500HD has them on the inside? It really makes it hard to get one out when frozen in place!
And the purpose of marking up the âtabâ? What does the âtabâ do/purpose?
Is it for alignment purposes?
Alignment cam to get it back âcloseâ so you can get back to alignment shop and have aligned.
Would you do this because the rotted bushings come as a set with the control arm? Can you still replace the upper ball joint and reuse the old control arm?
The upper ball joint may not be serviceable. You more-than-likely would have to replace the whole arm.
By the way what size are the 2 bolts holding the link arm and break line? I need thread size of course. MM, STANDARD. What is it please.
If 3 of my marked tabs were sheared off (and I have a good idea where the brackets mount) can I go ahead and tighten the bolts? Or am I in trouble?
I appreciate the FFW however, I'm curious how long this process took?
You're probably looking at about an hour to an hour and a half. 1aauto.com
Torque on wheels should be 140lbs not 100lbs
So no need to remove/adjust the torsion bar in order to replace the control arm? Thanks.
Not for the top one
That intro was in all caps
Do I need adjustable control arms or non adjustable? 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 4wd.
+Troubled Soul Thanks for watching! These vehicles use non-adjustable control arms.
wheel alignment after this job? Do you have to remove the whole arm or can you just replace the ball joint?
+Carl Zorro You should have an alignment done after making this repair. If the ball joint is serviceable on your application, you could just replace the ball joint if the bushings are okay on our control arm.
Any torque specs?
After putting control arms does it need to be aligned again
+Teresa Gentil Yes. You should get an alignment any time you work on your steering or suspension. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Whats the purpose of this job? Wouldnt it be easier & cheaper just to replace the ball joint?
Do I tighten the ball joint on the upper control arm till it's tighten??
+Nathan Jones You should tighten the nut on the ball joint so that it is tight.
Hey guys do know where to get the welded rivets that are like on the frame? One of my busted off when I did my upper control arm last summer and itâs been slightly shifting turning slow or stationary. Not sure exactly what they are called but they go through the little plates you marked.
Moog makes camber pins
What happened they didn't get torqued down
Good video, but those control arm bolts should be tightened with the suspension stabilized by a jack or something prior to final tightening. They'll fail prematurely otherwise.
+James Dwyer Thanks for watching! We actually jack up the lower control arm towards the beginning of the video, which fully loads the suspension as if it were on the ground. As long as the suspension is loaded you can torque down all the bolts and it won't be an issue!
@@1AAuto Ah, totally missed that. Thanks for pointing that out!
Do you know what bolt is used for the two mounting bolts for the brake hose? I shared off the heads of both of them and I need to drill and tap them, but I can't find what the thread size is.
+Thomas Freundl At this time we do not have any information on the size of the threads. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any further questions.
@@1AAuto Thanks for replying
I have a 2004 chevy suburban rear wheel drive, would l do this same procedure?
Great video's always. What are the torque specs for the upper ball joint nut? Thank you
How do you plan to get a torque wrench in there

what's the point in marking the tabs?
Gato Volador , it gets it back close to proper camber. Close enough to get to the alignment shop.
Why did you mark the tabs in the beginning? I donât understand the reason because nothing was explained after it.
Are both upper arms the same? Or is one specific to passenger side and driver side??
+Drew Soliz The upper control arms on this vehicle are the same for the driver and passenger side. Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Why do you mark? In the video the marks were gone and he didn't mention anything about the marks when he put in the new control arm.
What brand name control arm(s) did you use? Do you recommend them? Would rather replace bushings/ball joint in the factory arms?
+amurican35 Here is a link to them control arms shown in this video on our website. Hope this helps you out. www.1aauto.com/control-arm-with-ball-joint-driver-or-passenger-side-front/i/1asfu00041?CZcams&CTA+Comment&L0exX3BRaE
I noticed in the video that you greased the upper control arm ball joint after install...however the link you provided takes me to the part but it has no grease coupling in the pic. Do you or do you not have to grease the ball joint?
+amurican35 It the ball joint has a grease fitting it will need to be greased. If the ball joint does not have a grease fitting it is a self contained ball joint and does not need to be greased.
what's the point in marking the tabs through me off a little?
Me too
Thatâs camber adjustments..you want it to be at least close,so the alignment is mostly intact.
@@Mercury_Shadow462 what are you trying to get close to?
@@andrewdevenezia4927 when you take it apart and put it back together it should be in the same spot. If your alignment was good to begin with.
What are those brackets for and what do you like them up with? I'm doing this project soon on my 99 and been woundering about those.
+erik Hamilton Thanks for watching! Those are the cam adjustment brackets, so you will have to mark where the tabs are like he shows you in the video. You just mark where the tab is on the part where it mounts to. If you do not put them back in the same positions your cam will be off and will need to be taken in to an alignment shop. 1aauto.com
At 1:15 is my upper control arm supposed to be resting all the time on that metal plate on the rite side of the arm rite under it??
No it should not be resting on the bump stop. Sounds like a too tall level kit has stolen all your down travel.
Dumb question, what grease to use for the ball joints?
+Fish 4 Fun Not a dumb question at all! Any type of lithium-based chassis grease will get the job done!
Where is the spring? Did you remove the front spring for clarity?
It has torsion bars, not springs.
No spring on 4wd. They use torsion bars that run from the middle of the truck into the lower control arm
The spring makes it almost impossible to get the bolts out and back in. ( On 2wd models) Has anyone else had this problem. And if so, what does one do to make it easier?
how much is price this job? simply interested. I'm from Ukraine
Which specific grease do you use in the upper control arm grease fitting?
+Taylor steeves You may want to check the service manual to see what it recommends. Usually you can buy a grease cartridge at your local auto parts store to grease them.

We do not carry the bolts for these upper control arms. Try checking a local parts store! +Nathan Strahan
Might be an odd question but I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 4wd. I have a spare set of performance engine upper control arms from a 2001 Silverado 1500 2wd would they fit my 4wd?
You may want to check with the manufacturer of that particular part
1A Auto Parts ok thank you I will
Are the ball joints removable for the upper control arm?
Yes
Is the uooer control arm the same for a 4wd and a rwd???
Good video
+Tj Lovin It should fit both applications. Here is a link to them on our website www.1aauto.com/control-arm-with-ball-joint-driver-or-passenger-side-front/i/1asfu00041?CZcams&CTA+Comment&L0exX3BRaE
Torque spec?
What kind of marker is that?
+Jjj Kkk Paint Marker
What do I torque the ball joint to?
OMG the video is great but it took me about 2hrs just prybaring, sledgehammering, carjacking, cursing, watching this video 5 times to make sure, stone chisel + 5 pound hammer, in the sun aggravation just to get the ball bearing snap out. Everything else was easy.
I notice that everyone that asked about the torque lbs for the ball joint and control arms never got an answer. The reason I watched this video was to figure this out for my 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4. Don't trust the repair book I have as it misleads me often. Wonder why this question never gets answered.
+Great Bread The control arm bolts will need to be tightened to 140 ft-lb, and the ball joints nut will be 37 ft-lb!
What is torque specs for the lower control arms
+Francisco Rodriguez Thanks for checking us out. We do not have the specifications for the lower control arms. You would be able to find that information in a Haynes Repair Manual. Thank you!
Fairly disappointed about the lack of torque specifications on the reassembly, guess thats not important enough for a mention?
No snap ring?
is this the same for a 99 suburban
My 18 mm nut keeps spinning when trying to tighten back up?don't understand why
I'm having the same issue.
the ball joint it tapered so it needs to be pushed all the way in the spindle in order to tighten it
Where is the spring?

so this new crontrol arms don't come with grease?
They are greaseable and do come with a Zerk fitting. You would need to buy the grease to grease them at your local auto parts store. Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com
Does this apply to a 2004 Chevy express 1500 rwd
+Kenneth Ball It may be a similar procedure. At this time, we do not have a video for your exact vehicle on the upper control arm install. Thanks for checking us out!
