How to change front suspension arm CHEVROLET AVEO T-250 TUTORIAL | AUTODOC

[@katea127]

Thank now I no what expect once the appointment is confirmed

[@tomwalma4762]

what about pre-tensioning control arm before torquing bushings to specs?

[@HouseCallAutoRepair]

The quicker the bushing stretch and tear, the quicker it will be back for another one.

[@TheOutwiththeold]

Yeah now let's see you do the other side with the transmission in the way

[@xgetsome]

glad someone said it

[@maniacal-s10]

I had no problem with changing both ball joints on my '010 Aveo. See how and what I done on my channel ( maniacal s10). Thanks! Mike.

[@smokenbudesq]

@@maniacal-s10 NOW TRY THE CONTROL ARM LOL THIS GUY HAS IT EASY AND WOULD HAVE HAD A HELL OF A TIME WITH SEIZED BUSHINGS. MORE THAN LIKLEY WOULD END UP STRIPPING A BOLT WITH THAT GUNG HO IMPACT.

[@40mmmikemike]

ball joint to steering knuckle torque is 41lb ft. front and rear control arm bolts are 81 lb ft. you really should leave the control arm bolts a little loose, then once the car is on the ground torque them so you dont tear the bushings, its called pre-tensioning like the other guy said in the comments. also i think you are supposed to replace the control arm bolts but i see alot of people reuse them. if you live in canada you can rent that ball joint separator tool from canadian tire for free.

Thank you for your comment! We will definitely take this into account in our new videos. Best Regards, Autodoc team

[@dontwanureagenda2436]

Any tricks to get the horizontal bolt out if it just spins? Does the frame have to be cut?

[@autodocuk]

We do not have this information, we recommend you consult your mechanic.

[@nancydelcarmenangulo5777]

What torque should be applied to the fork and ball joint screws?

[@autodocuk]

You can find the requested information in the technical documentation for repairing of your particular model of car.

[@robreidiii4999]

Sweet use of a tire spoon....before the next video, try investing in a pry bar

[@ChristinaAllen-n6k]

Lmfao failed hard with it haha

[@edwardhernandez442]

Yeah let's see u do the drivers side slick

[@autodocuk]

In general, the replacement will be similar, the only thing is that it may differ slightly in the design features of your car. More accurate information can be obtained in the technical documentation for the car or by contacting the service. AUTODOC

[@edwardhernandez442]

@@autodocuk 2009 chevy aveo5 has the transmission right near the bolt of the arm bar so it can be quiet challenging. I would like to see someone maybe yourself show me just how easy it can be because for me it was a ballbuster thanks!

[@edwardhernandez442]

I appreciate the videos though! Very informative

[@primotote]

Thanks

[@autodocuk]

We are glad that this video was useful to you!

[@edwardhernandez442]

Exactly

[@stacystarnes1449]

What does one do if the front mount nut inside the frame is broke off and spinning?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment! We highly recommend you use a professional car workshop to have a close look into this issue. Best Regards, Autodoc Team

[@zacharywilson2962]

Buy a new car lol

[@exoduslnx]

@@zacharywilson2962 Yeah, buy something other than an Aveo. That would be a nightmare

[@smokenbudesq]

THREAD IT ALL THE WAY BACK IN. CHOP OFF THE CONTROL ARM CAREFULLY REMOVE CONTROL ARM LEAVING BOLT AND BUSHING IN TACT . GET RUBBER OFF SLEAVE GRIND DOWN METAL SLEAVE PUT WRENCH ON HOLD TO SLEAVE TRY TO GET LOOSE IF WILL NOT BUDGE GRIND SLEAVE CLOSE AS YOU CAN TO BOLT THEN TAKE A CHIZEL AND HAMMER TO SPLIT SLEAVE OFF BOLT. DID 3 THAT WAY WORKS EVERY TIME.

[@kingbrog6702]

The bushing was stuck on that bolt it's not wanting to come out just spin on that right side what do I do now

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! We strongly recommend you to visit a specialized car service center. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@72fordmaverick]

Call a mechanic

[@nihonkokusai]

Buy new bolt and nut and cut it off easy

[@andrewstockwell5487]

This car must of came right off the lot because how easy he made it. Especially with the bushings seizing on the bolts

[@HouseCallAutoRepair]

Watch my vid coming out in October.

[@megdavidson2909]

What is that tool called?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! Please, specify, which tool you mean. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@megdavidson2909]

I ended up finding out it was a ball joint separator.

[@nocturnalvices]

No torquing was done?💁🏾‍♂️

[@mishroeder9490]

Pretty easy. Now try the driver's side and let's see how easy it is.
