New Control Arm with Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ic/1ASLF00362
This video shows you how to install a new quality TRQ lower control arm with ball joint in your 2007-2013 Mitsubishi Outlander. 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.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
2008 Mitsubishi Outlander
2009 Mitsubishi Outlander
2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
2011 Mitsubishi Outlander
2012 Mitsubishi Outlander
2013 Mitsubishi Outlander

Hello I like your videos well filmed and clean, please tell me what is the tightening torque in nm of the triangle screws thank you

[@r4prime958]

Thanks

Would it not have been easier to start the control arm bolts Before inserting the ball joint stud?

[@icarossavvides2641]

At 2:50 you left a whole chunk out as you've obviously removed the brake caliper assembly and then magically, at 12.40, it's re-installed! DUH!

[@numbers111222]

It says in the workshop manual the horizontal bolt should be temporarily tightened and then only fully torqued down once the vehicle is on the ground at the curb weight condition. Is that necessary or is it ok to just torque it while its up in the air?

[@mikemason4257]

Do you need to get a wheel alignment after doing this?

[@johnnye.haskinsjr5368]

Yes you do.

[@tomasduarte3762]

How much it’s cost to replace it ?

[@jacobsmith1057]

A metal sledge on a brand new part? Especially one thats hollow is crazy. Apparently never heard of a rubber mallet. Not only that but the dude doesnt know how to keep the torque gun on the nut, skipping and jumping all over the place. Couldnt even watch the rest of the video. Is this dude on his first week?
