You have helped me understand the problem I’m having. I could not separate the control arm from the ball joint no matter what I tried. So I decided to begin unbolting the entire control arm but like you showed I cannot back the one bolt out because if the gear box. I’m not understanding how you’re able to lower the gear box and raise the sub frame. Can you explain with more detail? Is there another video? Thank you for your help.

[@HOWTODO0828]

Hy sir. To fix your problem you have to lower the front subframe by removing the. Bolts wich are holding it in place but don't remove them completely, just lower the bolts along with the subframe enough to have acces to the respective bolt with its difficult to remove. The gearbox and the engine stay in place, you don't need to lift or lower the gearbox or the engine. Just lower the front subframe and you'll create more space to remove the control arm bolt. Hope I helped you😎

Do you have pictures of the all bolts that should be removed to lower down sub frame?

[@HOWTODO0828]

Just follow the steps in the video and you'll be good to go.

[@sahbazhrnjic671]

After lowering subframe, some people say mounting bolt under battery must be removed to lift engine little. Did you remove that bolt before lifting engine?

[@HOWTODO0828]

No sir. It has nothing to do with it.

Brother, you should torq everything when the arm is horizontal orelse the bushing will be under stresss all the time.

[@HOWTODO0828]

My man, didn't you saw I torqued all the bolts from the arms? Probably you didn't noticed

[@khestehave]

What is meant with the previous comment is that the bolts should be torqued with the wheel at ride height. Torquing the 18mm horizontal bolt with the arm hanging means that the bushing is constantly under stress when you put the car back on the wheels.

[@HOWTODO0828]

Yes, I understand you. I did this after I ended the video tutorial. You're right in this scenario.

I was so nervous buying my new suspension Arm for my car😂

[@HOWTODO0828]

Good luck with the installation 🙏😎

I can't get the ball joint off of the A arm. How to seperate them? I already get them out of the car.

[@HOWTODO0828]

You will need a special tool or if you have a hidraulic press that's the main tool for joints and hubs, you will need to press it out of the A arm.

next time please do not speed up these videos and do not cut them, it's very helpful

[@HOWTODO0828]

Im sorry, but if I don't speed up the videos they will be too long and most of the people will get bored and that's not helping me and the person who's watching them.
