New Control Arm with Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ASFU00242
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 video shows you how to install a new quality TRQ upper control arm with ball joint in your 1992-2000 Chevy Tahoe.

Do you need to have a truck to do this? I bought the parts but I don't actually own a car.

[@jayzantizo3315]

[@ryancoffie]

1a auto primarly sells trq parts so it wouldnt surprise me at all. I think youbare right

[@saskwach8822]

I was told by an alignment shop that a spot weld has to be removed and some notch on the bolt has to fit in the hole before he can do an alignment.... this was from one of the popular franchise tire shops. Is this true?

[@scotthicks721]

Hey good job explaining the size of that cotter nut bud

[@thehillbillyhoarder4996]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing

[@jaimesoltero1556]

How you take off the upper ball joint

[@jasonayers5989]

Do you have to have the vehicle alignment afterwards

[@BigWheel.]

I'd recommend it.

[@rkbkelly128]

I forgot to mark the cam bolts before removing now the upper arm rubs on the wheel i cant get adjustment right. After new upper ball joints installed any suggestions

[@diegojaimes8008]

You can buy them on amazon or walmart or just about any store. Theyre regular latex gloves and lemme tell ya they are incredibly valuable

That's a 4x4. The 2wd has the upper control arm bolts on top of the chassis, not the side, which is difficult to access.
