Good video....

My upper control arm bushings were loose requiring me to tighten them up when I installed them (the 2 rear parts that mount up) could that result in the car sitting higher?

[@gabrielark6353]

There is another method just keep the tires on and jack up the car enough to where you can access the ball joints, side bushing nuts and bolts and have a fork as he has talked about I found doing this was quicker.

[@mcgeem1989]

Good video. Thanks for making it. Can you do one on the lower front control arms too if you haven't?

[@johnlampman353]

I can't manage to find one with a grease fitting anywhere can anyone suggest anywhere?

[@brianclifford9619]

Thank you. My father always said. "Less you say, the smarter u sound"other then to much gab. Not bad. Hard to compete to 1Aauto. Stick with it

[@ThatFaceMelter94]

How tf does nobody mention torquing the pivot bolts or even how to torque them???????????

[@josevenner4350]

Where did you get the parts?

[@DaeganJones]

Hey man whats the part # on that moog upper control arm? I''ve been getting "moog"" control arms from autozone with no grease fitting and they keep on failing. Yours looks more beefy to.

[@DaeganJones]

Nevermind found links thanks

[@StayTunedGarage]

Haha no problem

[@goodvibesonly1920]

Thanks man good job, btw is that for the front or rear?

[@dyingangelo]

I removed the boots and pur high Temp urea honda grease inside. You'd be surprised how little grease they put

[@JoshuaPanola]

Additionally, an impact will work for that ball joint if it's spinning.

I followed this video to replace mine, but afterwords I realized this video missed an important step.
When you tighten the bushings on the new control arm, it’s important to tighten the bushings while the suspension is under load.
If you tighten the bushing while the suspension is drooped all the way down, the rubber bushings will constantly be stressed when the wheels are on and the car is in the resting position.
So after the control arms are on and the bushings are still loose, you can either put the wheel on, drop the car, then tighten the bushings, or jack the brake rotor up until the suspension is in the position it normally is with the wheels on, and then tighten the bushings.
If you don’t do this the control arm rubber bushings will fail waaaay quicker.
The model of control arm I used had self locking bushing nuts too, so loosening them and tightening them under load likely made the self locking less effective
