This video shows you how to install a new quality TRQ lower control arm with ball joint in your 2012-2019 BMW 328i xDrive Control arms are a crucial part of the suspension system of your vehicle. They not only carry the load of the vehicle to the wheel, but they typically also maintain its alignment. Control arms are typically large and strong, so you may be surprised it needs replacing. They contain rubber bushings for smoother rides at the cost of eventual wear, or integrated ball joints that require replacing the entire arm when they wear.

Was pretty much only here for torque specs thank you ! Liked 👍🏼

[@diewlaylomei]

what's the fucking point of torquing the wheels, you already blasted it. And btw, the torque on F chassis vehicles is like 105ft/lbs

[@marvinzhang3734]

im pretty sure that is not 90 degree there hahahah

[@emilianoadan5025]

how much would this cost if you make someone repair it for you?

[@TRQ]

+Emiliano Adan We wouldn't be able to provide you with an estimated cost, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

A lot of rust down there 😮

[@aleksandrstovba8823]

Says, "You wanna replace the bolt." Yet he put in the old bolt anyways.... that rust in the middle is showing. No wonder it is difficult to torque it down to 90 degrees extra, me thinks because you are reusing the old TTY (Torque to Yield) bolt.
