2010-2015 Kia Sorento Lower Table Replacement(Control Arm)

[@deaddirt1168]

I just replaced both front and rear shocks and struts. I have to do my lower control arms next. These video's help out so much. The work is easy to do guys. Just takes time and effort. It will save you thousands by doing simple jobs on your own. Thank you for all the help guys!

[@senecadaze]

I watched other videos where they struggled , i followed yours and it came right out,im waiting for parts and hope they go in as easy. Thank you

[@JLsAutoSolution]

thank you

[@ChrischrosBelgium]

Hey guys...an update. I did it! In 4 hours i did both sides and This video made it possible!! Thanks a million times!! I have just saved 500 euro.

[@JLsAutoSolution]

Great job! Glad to hear that my video has helped you Thanks for watching

[@danielborth7753]

4 hours seem like a long time I was guessing maybe an hour and a half 2 hours tops if you stop for a coffee

[@ChrischrosBelgium]

@@danielborth7753 I had no experience and very basic tools.

[@ChrischrosBelgium]

@@JLsAutoSolution I ve just seen your answer. Lol. These Kia's were the last ones to be great. After 2015 quality declined.

[@revirco]

Thanks so much but most importantly not leaving out the 12mm bolt…I’ve watched like 12 videos and you are the only one that pointed it out, for rushers like myself

[@mirandasambrano4860]

Great video thanks to your clear instructions I had to confidence to replace my lower arm controls on my own so that I can finally go see my husband while he’s working out of town.

[@paul-andrelarose3389]

Excellent video and thanks for making this procedure available! I found the viewing of certain critical phases quite beneficial when the video was run in slow motion. In addition, I found the reading of the comments section quite informative, particularly with respect to the fourth bolt (12 mm). 2024/04/28. Ontario, Canada.

[@stevenbly1085]

This is by far the best video showing how to replace a part. Nicely done!

[@JLsAutoSolution]

Thank you

[@ChrischrosBelgium]

Al my questions were answered. I saw videos where they only replaced the ball joint but they took apart half of the car and spent 3 hours or so. I did not have the tools. The whole table plus joints is about 50 dollars; so for 2 I pay 100 dollars. For two ball joints I only pay 50 dollar. SO it will cost me 50 dollar more but wil have a much bigger improvement than only one ball joint per side. ANd it looks easier. Thank you very much sir!

[@winkysquirrels4766]

Thanks for your video!, for the price the shop wanted me to pay for replacing just one single arm, I replaced both myself and had still money to spare for a nice dinner with my family, I only have a jack and two stands but I could get this done, Thanks!!!

[@JLsAutoSolution]

Glad it helped

[@matthewwysel521]

Thanks so much. You saved us so much time. The car went from old and tired to new, tight and amazing !

[@JLsAutoSolution]

Glad it helped!

[@jasperthomas8048]

Before you tighten the rear bolt, you should load the suspension. Otherwise the bushing will be twisted and fail prematurely.

[@Thomas-fo9zu]

Good thinking, tks for your input!

[@dustyrusty3570]

Yes, he and many others don't do the curb weight thing and the when the bushing rubber over twists they want to blame the control arm manufacturer for a faulty part and try to return and AND they have to do the job 2x more. I like how he brings attention to details but he slipped up on the curb weight b4 tightening.

[@ChrischrosBelgium]

Thanks to this video I'm daring to try it and i will save about 500 dollars!

[@JLsAutoSolution]

Your are welcome.. if everything goes smooth it's a fairly easy job.. Thanks for watching

[@ChrischrosBelgium]

@@JLsAutoSolution i did it. Both sides in 4 hours. Thanks to you! I can never thank you enough.

[@derekmorgan120]

Thanks for this. I started with the ball joint and tried beating it out for almost 2hrs. After doing it your way I did the other side in a half hour. 👍

[@JLsAutoSolution]

You are very welcome

[@nevillenewman2785]

@3:06 , it is a good idea to put the nut back on to engage the first threads so that if you slip up you don't damage the threads.

[@321-sleep]

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE TIP @2:56 THE BALL JOINT PINCH BOLT MAY BE SEIZED IF YOU LIVE IN THE NORTH. HEAT MAY ALSO HELP.

[@Fullrusher]

.y and my father spent all day on this and still couldn't get the new one in or the old one lol did you have to remove the tie rod or does the vehicle need to be jacked up on both sides in the front ? Would appreciate the help

[@JLsAutoSolution]

it has to be persuaded a little to get them in.

[@Hellofrank35]

Hey..I can't get the left side in.. Right and Ball joint is in! I'm working on the ground..

[@multidimensionaltraveler806]

Im trying to do the passenger front lower ball joint. I removed the nut but cannot get the bolt to spin at all. I hit it with a hammer and tried to spin the nut with a 1/2" breaker bar and it will not budge.i used my air gun and i ended up stripping the bolt head. I sprayed a crap load of wd-40 on it and it will not budge. What do you recommend? I did the driver side just fine and have done many ball joints, this is the first time i have encountered such an issue. 2015 kia sorento

[@JLsAutoSolution]

Which bolt are you talking about.. The ball joint to knuckle bolt? The vertical bolt in the bushing or rhe horizontal bolt in the bushing?

[@multidimensionaltraveler806]

@@JLsAutoSolution horizontal bolt where the knuckle holds onto the ball joint. I got the two bolts and nut out from the ball joint on the lower control arm but where the nipple of the ball joint is held in by the knuckle where it pinches tight

[@multidimensionaltraveler806]

The driver side i did already but for some reason the passenger side bolt will not budge. I seperated the ball joint from the lower control arm leaving the ball joint dangling from the knuckle. I tried to use a torch on the bolt and hammer it out but no movement still

[@jasonmoore9420]

You are gonna have to buy a splitter and cut the bolt off. Make sure you don't mess uo threads

[@multidimensionaltraveler806]

@@jasonmoore9420 dang,that sucks. My vehicle is like new not even rusty. The bolt area has no rust at all either. This is so weird. Thank you, I appreciate your help.

[@chazzzman4422]

Does the vehicle need an alignment after this process?

[@JLsAutoSolution]

It's highly suggested that an alignment be performed after replacing any suspension or steering component. Thanks for watching

[@redlawyers]

Most likely

[@gregmamer3822]

I understand the play in the ball joint would be the reason for an alignment. Are either of the 2 bolts (horizontal or vertical) position adjustable? - meaning should I have paid attention to exactly where they were positioned when I tightened them. I know some vehicles loosen and adjust those bolts for alignment, but it seems like these two were both just round holes and not adjustable.@@JLsAutoSolution

[@JLsAutoSolution]

@@gregmamer3822 no there are no adjustments with the stock bolts. You can buy aftermarket ones for camber adjustments

[@Thomas-fo9zu]

Thank you for that video! Btw, what was that 12 mm bolt for?

[@JLsAutoSolution]

underpanel

[@samsman007]

I was just wondering what the "Lower Table" was. We call it "Lower Arm" here in Malaysia. Thank you for the great video.

[@WhatThemShortsDo]

Whats funny is I'm in America which i think is where he's from and I've never heard lower table. I can see why its called that but we also call it lower arm. If tou go online to order parts its lower arm

[@js-wy8fg]

Everyone calls it control arm, except these guys;)

Great video

Thanks!

[@arkman8109]

Great job

[@JLsAutoSolution]

Thank you.

[@nonethanks826]

So yea... everything was spot on,would have been sinple job if the bolt for the ball joint itself wasn't welded together. Had to cut it off with a dremmel ... otherwise thanks for awesome video

[@JLsAutoSolution]

Glad you found the video helpful.

[@js-wy8fg]

This is the weirdest way of replacing the lower control arm l ever seen
