New Control Arm with Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ic/1ASLF00746
This video shows you how to install a new lower control arm on your 2009-2014 Ford F-150. Control arms are a crucial part of the suspension system of your vehicle. They not only carry the load of the vehicle to the wheel, but they typically also maintain its alignment. Control arms are typically large and strong, so you may be surprised it needs replacing. They contain rubber bushings for smoother rides at the cost of eventual wear, or integrated ball joints that require replacing the entire arm when they wear.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2009 Ford F-150
2010 Ford F-150
2011 Ford F-150
2012 Ford F-150
2013 Ford F-150
2014 Ford F-150

This video came at the perfect time. I started this job on my truck the day before the video was uploaded. Thanks 1A Auto.

[@BrandonStoudt]

Thanks for showing the struggle. Most videos would just skip that.

[@wesleyconklin6874]

What kind of magic wand are you using to heat bolts? I need to know I want one.

[@robertliebel658]

Very well done! Thanks

[@chrissignal8857]

That air gun ain't playing.

[@TrumpsAhFascist]

Sure wish you said what sizes those bolts were.
I got to get new ones. The exact same ones at those.

[@mattyemmasin4146]

Is it possible to cut the bolts off or are they hardened steel?

[@strykerls3740]

What part number are the bolts

[@NickScottProducer]

Y’all got rid of the guy who could t say “vehicle”? 🤔

[@hansmeizinger8840]

[@dylanlincoln9237]

Me spending an hour on each bolt with touch, air hammer and impact

I see what a pain it is. Never buy a ford. Or a Chrysler or a GM. They all are a pain.
