New Control Arm with Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/id/1ASL...
This video shows you how to install a front lower control arm with ball joint on your 2006-2013 Chevrolet Impala. 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:
2006 Chevrolet Impala
2007 Chevrolet Impala
2008 Chevrolet Impala
2009 Chevrolet Impala
2010 Chevrolet Impala
2011 Chevrolet Impala
2012 Chevrolet Impala
2013 Chevrolet Impala

So…. How’d you get the ball joint out the knuckle??

[@jgt9338]

My new control arms say "Avoid premature bushing wear. Do not fully tighten bushing until suspension is at ride height." What are your thoughts?

[@chhansen9813]

Why would you need an alignment done, you didnt touch the tie rods?

[@TRQ]

+ch hansen It is always suggested to have an alignment performed after replacing any suspension parts for optimal performance.

So i think i didn't tight to bolt to tight but i got the pin through will that be a problem its pretty

[@ocmichelli8580]

Thankful for your videos been working on my 08 impala all week and you’re the only one who goes into enough detail.

[@ColdWarVet607]

Nice job!!! I was trying to get the control arm back in and realized the strut is forcing it short of mounting the bolts. Im like "how they do this", then Im like "duh...a strap" Thanks...I'm a bit stupid today!
