I've done mine twice, there's a ton a tips I could say here, one is, hold the LCA up with the jack, it helps. I'll be doing my whole suspension again soon, I once started recording, but I was in a hurry. Great video 👍

One thing I have noticed missing on every video I have seen on replacing Ram 1500 lower control arm bushings is .... position of the hollow slots in the rubber. One slot is long, opposite is a short slot. This to me gives 4 different rotational positions to insert the bushing giving completely different handling of steering control of the truck from flexing of the bushing from torque.

Thanks for this, just replaced lower and upper control arms. I may replace bushings and keep the original as a spare.

That's what I do, just buy bushings, switch them out, change control arms, then when you're bored and have time, change the bushings and ball joints on the LCA's because the UCA's can't be replaced. That way when it's time to change the LCA's again, you'll have them ready.

Why not use a impact wrench?

what happens if you dont measure the ride height before starting taking everything off and how do you put it back on if you forgot to measure it
@s33therfan Жыл бұрын
No problem , just go underneath and loosen the bolts to relieve bushing tension and retighten. If hard to slide underneath , getting the vehicle on 4 ramps will also work. Thanks for watching.

I would honestly replace most of it. Tie rods , ball joints , upper control arms , shocks. I like to try and get as much as possible out of the way. An alignment will be in order as well. My truck drives as straight as arrow and smooth still 230k. These are pretty good trucks with just a little maintenance. Thanks for the feedback.

Do really need to measure the height before you start

How does bushing replacement affect ride height?
@s33therfan Жыл бұрын
Mine was not affected , it was the same afterwards. Thanks for the feedback.

1:05:45 see how it angles? why does it matter? from what i can see it doesn't.

Not criticizing but you are trying to force vibration through a dampener it dampens the vibrations. You need to use your dead blow on the control arm itself with gentle strikes.
