Replacing Lower Control Arm

Replacing Lower Control Arm and Ball Joint. Learn how to replace a lower control arm with the lower ball joint. I show the process in a 95 ford windstar but it is similar in many different makes and models. This is a single arm control arm with a strut bar for support. A wishbone lower control arm will be similar minus the strut bar.

  1. So I just learned today that my car needs 2 lower control arms and a tie rod.

    The shop I went to for an alignment before he showed me that the problem was actually worn out parts and not a bad alignement charges me 700$ per lower control arm and 70$ a tie rod.

    I found lower control arms online for 350$ each and a tie rod for 40$, all OEM. So I think I'm just gonna do the job myself. I already do my own oil change and tire change thanks to Chris, so it's time to go a step further and save about 1300$, including labor cost.

  2. This is a great video. Simple to follow, clear and informative. Thank you.
    My dealer said it would cost 1250 AUD plus labor to replace the lower ball joints on my car.
    Following your instructions I reckon I could do it myself for a fraction of the cost.

    Thank you!!

  3. Chris..i need to eventually change control arms of my mercedes tie rods included. Steer shakes with a little occasional noise. My question..can i push this off for say 3weeks until i replace them? Using backroads for now and driving gently ..espeacially when i make turns. Im i good

  4. thanks chris fix, i will change my lower control arm this weekend, thanks for the detail video and like the note about test driving then re torque.

  5. Thanks Chris fix. Just watched your videos and am getting ready Question: I'm getting ready to do the whole front end inner ,outer ,upper lower ,ball joint tie rod ends, do you recommend a specific order to do the jobs thanks!

  6. I changed my upper, lower control arms, upper ball joint ,sway bar links and lower control arm bracket on my 2007 trailblazer. Now I have one tire facing inward while the other tire is straight. What could have gone wrong and a possible fix?

  7. Thank you for the film. I need to change bushing on the outer edge of the Lower Control Arm in the car 2001 Saturn SL2. I ordered a new bushing for that model, but it is only rubber bushing, no central bolt inside (in many films they show the bushing with that bolt). For that car I couldn't find a bushing with the bolt. Is it difficult to replace the old bolt into the new bushing? They sell that bushing, so it should be possible, but I didn't see any film on that particular operation. The bushing is on Amazon: MOOG K8436 Lower Control Arm Bushing. Of course I could just change the Lower Control Arm, but not in a mood to do that, bcs not quite ready now to go to the local shop to surrender in the case of failure.
