Did any one else notice that the control arm that came off is not the same control arm that went back on 👀👀🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@thetf9657]

Yep! Replaced the whole upper

[@Elkmonger]

@@thetf9657 Why?

[@ureasmith3049]

The control magically changed colors halfway through. 🤣

[@jessefarias1507]

The part where you talked about lowering suspension before tightening hardware is a crucial tip , I did not do this on my rear links and the bushings basically popped out overtime with heavy off-road use, the brackets were dug into and I had to weld new tabs on🤦‍♂️ you live and you learn

[@picasso2445]

How old was that Mevotech TTX arm that you pressed new ball joint in?

[@Coa_Kralj_Coa_The_King]

Great video!!! Well spoken and nice explanation. thank you for sharing!!!

[@jeffro691000]

Why waste time changing ball joint when u changed the whole control arm

[@mikewall8925]

Can you press out ball joints on stock upper control arms?

[@NickB9720.]

Yes

[@marshad.9149]

Not a video for beginners. But still gave me a basic idea.

[@jimmyspence1430]

Notice how he tightened the ball joint press tool hand tight before throwing the impact on. Even though, I’ve seen a ball joint get pressed in unevenly and get ruined.

Why did you change the control arm, that black one is not what came off

[@636alexis]

Thanks for the video

[@Gatorman6924]

So what I just watched is, if you are replacing those for another 90 bucks buy the package that come with the upper arm and joint already installed, with new lower ball joints, and get the tie rods and sway bar links.

The UCA that came off is a Mevotech TTX (ugly green colour) and a better control arm over stock which they installed on the truck. They should’ve went back with the Mevotech TTX UCA. Forged steel arm and built for heavy duty abuse. Way beefier then stock UCAs.

Why did you put a new control arm on?

[@williamsargent8559]

You replaced the control arm ...why?

[@scottt89]

I removed that ground wire and reconnected when done. my truck wigged out and won't start. just clicks. charged the battery for an hour and still nothing. getting it load tested tomorrow. everything was working great before. weird

[@williamblairjr5757]

That's not the same upper control arm you took off

[@waltersanders4428]

Look like you installed a totally different arm.did you hide something??

[@rubenaguilera4527]

U never see a rusty upper ball joint screw

[@andrewdenine1685]

Not a stock upper control arm either

[@rainzeros8393]

Ehats ghe point of this video???? "This is an aftermarket uca" 😑 ended up having to buy a new uca since this guys video is the only video for it and hes just ss clueless as i am

[@victorLC109]

Looks like he painted the upper control arm before putting it back.

[@pedrohdz1964]
