2018 Chevy Malibu Rear Knuckle Replacement!

[@Eric-kk9bj]

This is a lot simpler than I was anticipating. Thanks for the vid. Good work 👍

[@rmorales3718]

Thank you for the advice. It was spot on. Just replaced both of my rear knuckles 2018 malibu and it runs smooth and silent now. Saved so much time for guessing the problem.

[@Jwil2187]

They need to go ahead and make this a recall issue. So many of these are bad.

[@Strangekilla69]

For real I’m replacing mine now

[@jacobeaton4042]

For real. I’m going down the rabbit hole for this issue right now and hundreds of people on every forum is saying the exact same thing. I mean I’ve never seen a more common issue for the Malibu

[@NicholasWebb-c2x]

Same issue for Opel/Vauxhall insignia here in UK and Europe. We are going the route of just changing the bushings rather than the whole knuckle.

Well organized video

[@RonaldMeilner]

Where did you get the knuckles and do you have part numbers

[@stakinaharris4064]

Where did you purchase the new knuckle from?

[@phigamyazel]

Great video! Any idea the torque specs on all those bolts?

[@lachondrastone8556]

Where was you able to order the knuckle from

[@shack_black238]

Thanks

[@Ramslamtheman]

Are the bolts tty

[@LSC124377322]

Thank you for the video. Question: why not remove the wheel bearing from knuckle AFTER removing knuckle from suspension?

[@Andys_Auto]

If I remember right I needed it out of the way for one of my sockets to fit but it's been a while now.

[@highlifeboutique1148]

I was told that the noise my car is making is the rear knuckle bushing is that the same? If so do you have the parts available my husband has been trying to find

[@Andys_Auto]

Yes that's correct. And you can find them fairly inexpensive online

[@javiermartinezrodriguez2287]

I also have a 2018 Malibu and I have a problem,when i drive on a flaw road it sounds like a sharp knock in the back, is it the same problem that you had? I have taken it to several mechanics and they all say that the suspension is fine (sorry for my english i’m latin)

[@kathysliter8854]

Where did you get the bushing? I’m not sure where to get just the bushing instead of the entire knuckle.

[@JacobDavis-ss8gz]

sadly they do not sell the bushing it's self. have to replace the whole knuckle

[@obie805]

how long did it take? I have to do it. I got my struts done at a shop but they said these were also bad.

[@Andys_Auto]

About an hour. It's pretty easy. I also have all the proper tools needed and 15+ years experience working on cars. It may take someone with less experience or a smaller tool set a bit longer. Good luck

[@obie805]

@Andys_Auto I have all the tools I just need to get the floor jacks and jacks stands.

[@digg7459]

@@Andys_Auto did the car ned an alignment afterwards

[@Robertk-tn]

I just had this done I had my front struts done as well and the rear extension done as well and the knuckles and bushings I’m still hearing the noise when Turing and over bump not as loud but still noticeable what could it be I’ve got a 2018 Chevy Malibu primeur 2.0 can it be the cv joint ? Got my work don’t at Chevy payed 1350 just for the knuckles and bushings

[@Andys_Auto]

It could be. Hard to know for sure without seeing it in person
