Since i first started looking up videos of people doing repairs on the internet i can say you guys at 1A Auto have done a great job. Show all the parts that matter, cut out the unimportant stuff/fast forward stuff. everytime i've looked up a video, making sure i do it right, all the info i need is there. glad to have you guys. learned more watching videos here than mechanics school.
You are a great technician and a good teacher. Being a millwright for 40 years and maintained all my vehicules, here in Quebec, is it so important to put anti-seize on bolt underneath vehicule. Salt and water just love bare steel ! Good job !
I'm going to change my upper control arms out this weekend and I'm really glad i found this video! Straight to the point. Thank you đ
Ty for all your vids! Changed my radiator yesterday with ease thanks to them and now gonna tackle the front! Keep up the good work thank you
You're like the Bob Ross of mechanics and it's amazing
+ace 4160 Thanks for the feedback!

this guy...,i like this guy!
It would have been helpful to show the looseness of the old ball joint and how the new one is much tighter. Also, what led to suspect these needed to be replaced; noise, tire wear ?
âWeâre gonna blast this nut inâ. My wife loves when I tell her that.
Is it best and easier to replace the control arms when the bushings start to go out on 2012 Dodge ram 1500
Never done this job but do you grease the bushings?
Thank you
Love Len
tanks good video nice job
Thanks for checking us out! +la ley
Hi I know this isn't the topic but I need some help badly. 2015 ram 1500 4x4 passenger side removing cv stub axle. Is there a trick to remove this. I removed the cv axle no problem but this stub axle I'm having trouble. Thanks in advance
Does this require an alignment after replacing the upper control arm on the Ram? Thanks
Is the layout of the control arms and wheel pretty much the same on the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500?
What wouLd be the torque for the bottom bolt of the control arm?
You guys are amaizin
+Calitos msrtinez Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Yall wouldnt happen to have a video for the lower ball joints on the gen4 as well would ya? mines an 09?
+Fragout Design Studios This procedure might be different for your application. We do not currently have a how-to video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking! 1AAuto.com

Howâs the quality of rubber ? Where they made ? Will the last or am i going to have to do this twice as my original mopar parts ?
Nice video...do I have to get aftermarket uca to get a 2.5 inch leveling kit on a 2016 ram
+Cederic Jeffries The parts we carry are not designed to work with modified vehicles. Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
torque on top ball joint 40fp + 90 degrees or 70fp, the former from the service manual, the latter from ram forum.
You mean "ft lbs" !?
Would this be the same process for 2x4
Does it matter if one is forged or stamped?
Superb video
+Greyghost680 Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
@@1AAuto my pleasure, same procedure for my 2003 ram 1500 with a v6 and 2 wheel drive? They want a fortune to do it. This video makes me feel I can do it if the procedure is the same. Your guy is a cool, polished pro. Impressive individual.
Did dodge nuts and bolt switch to METRIC and I didnât hear about it??
so Lug nuts are 130? or 135? foot pounds. the other vid has them at 135. And what is the foot pounds for the upper nut on the arm? and the axle nut. break caliper?
upper arms 130fp
upper ball nut 40 fp plus 90 degrees
lower ball joint 38 fp plus 90 degrees
tie rod 45 fp
caliper 130 fp
axle nut 185 fp
lugs 130 to 135 fp.
is this correct?
Hey does it matter my truck has a allumintim control arm currently and I purchased a steel one does it matter Iâm only changing driver side ??
+@jersonmancebo7453 You would want to change the control arms in your vehicle with the same style as the OE as there could be fit or functionality issues.
can the ball joints be replaced on the upper control arms of this truck without replacing a frames?
No. Whole upper control has to be replaced.
Yes you can, just did it today. seems like the original upper ball joint does NOT have a locking ring. (still check incase yours has been replaced) So you just press it out like normal. there is not much room to get press in though. so i took a long pry by and pushed it down and held it with my leg while i used my hands to use the press. The new upper ball joint does come with a lock ring, king nut, codder key, and grease zerk. So if you are not comfortable replacing the upper control arm and getting the alignment right again. just replace the $40 dollar ball joint instead.
I could watch this guy tear down random trucks all day lol
How do you know when and which control arm needs replacement ?
Starts making noises đ
It hard to tell you will more likely experience a vibration like an unbalanced tire.
Cam the upper ball joint be removed and press in a new one or do I have to replace the whole upper control arm on my 2015 1500
+Andrew Denine You should be able to replace just the ball joint without needing to change out the whole arm. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any further questions.
@@1AAuto thanks so much for the reply
@@1AAuto I have one more question for you can I press in a new wheel bearing in my 2015 1500 instead of buying the whole hub assembly. It's 4x4 5.7
+Andrew Denine Thanks for watching! The bearing setup for this vehicle is a complete hub and bearing assembly, so you will have to replace the whole thing.
Thanks that's what I figured I guess I'll dish out 400 for 2 of them thanks a lot. It's a great help to be able to ask someone who knows what there doing. I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future đđ
What is the torque specs ?
Tips for putting on tires if your not in a rush or floor isnt dirty you can lower car a bit sit down and put it between your legs and like wedge it up on your thighs.
What aftermarket upper control arms will fit 2019 Ram 1500 Classic 2wd with 6 in Lift ? I canât find any đ€·đŒââïž
Rough country upper
does an alignment need to be done after this? and what's the torque on the ball joint?
+thatOneguy42807 Thanks for watching! The proper torque for the the ball joint is 40 ft-lb, then add an additional 90 degree turn. Yes you will also want to get a front end alignment after performing this repair! 1aauto.com
Do it after driving it around 200 to 400 miles because it will settle into itself first. If you do it immediately it will come out of whack.
Is their a reason to replace the control arm? With it being metal isn't it just the bushings that need to be replaced?
They have to be pressed in. Usually arenât available or too much work for the regular person.
Thereâs also a ball joint to consider.
These are unserviceable you can replace with a control arm with a pressed in bearing instead so you donât have to replace control arm next time
What are the torque specs for the side nuts and the lower one?
40 ft lbs for ball joint and 130 lbs for the outer nuts.
Do you guys make any custom one for leveled / lifted same model ?
+Alessandro Terracciano We do not make any custom parts at this time.
This guy's been hurt a lot in life. Great video but please, will someone embrace this man and tell him everything's going to be okay?!

+J.Herrera Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com
@@1AAuto.... great informative videos.
I hate to be that guy... but don't those tires have sensor in them? Letting them tires slam down on the ground like that might not be a good idea?
No preload
+Greyghost680 Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Is it a 4x4?!
Yes. Note the front cv.
those wheel lug nuts were not torqued to 130 ftlb came off way to easy
1991 Dodge Pickup fuel pump
Why do yâall always have the vehicle on the ground when loosening the lug nuts thats unsafe
Cause the tire spins when it's jacked up.... Duh I'm a girl and know this đ
You didnât pay attention. He simply broke them loose THEN raised the vehicle.
didnt see u torque the ball joint
About to install two new A-arms. Great video. I am wondering what the torque spec is for the ball joint.
joe bush same, I kept going back to it
