mi***********:

It's stamped metal,you need to use a spacer between the two layers of the control arm otherwise you deform it or crack it,like here 5:20

Ro***:

Did you damage the control arm at the 5:22 mark? It seemed to look like it pinched a little bit..? But overall very informative and great camera angled vids!

al*****:

Is it just me or did anyone else see at 5:21 also that the control arm gets pushed in a bit due to imperfect contact? :\

do**********:

5:15 zing right off

s0**********:

Looks like you damaged the control arm, the welds cracked on the end, as well as pinching the ends.
Stamped control arms are poor candidates for replacing the bushings.

Sc***:

I feel like I'm watching a baby version of the ChrisFix I know now.

Cl*********:

If you cheap or can't rent tools. All you need is 1\2" sockets and some 3\8" all thread. Some nuts and big washers.

Ch******:

Once again you're helping save me a bunch of money and add another notch on my diy wall of fame. You're an excellent teacher,thank you! Overhaulin' a '78 El Camino project and some here n there work on my '81 Camaro!

Th**************:

“Easy” is debatable.. I feel good after doing my own fluid changes and replacing a new battery.. haha thanks for the video, this video was done so well it made me tackle this myself and probably saved some good coin!!

TH*************:

BIZZZZZZZING!!!

KI******:

I need that camera you use lol

Ba******************:

Ball joint press is the trick for the circular control arm bushings!!

da**********:

This is an excellent video. Your explanation is complete and your choice of words is spot on. Moreover, you go above and beyond to explain AND show with your camera exactly what is going on. Very few people take the time to put together such an excellent explanation, thank you.

Ma********:

you cleaned up the outside of rust but that was not going thru the part and then on the inside were tons of rust was you did not even touch that and all that dragged thru, but anyway you got it out.

Je*****:

Damn your control arm cracked by the bushing housing.

Ja***:

Is it just me or did I see one of the welds/metal split when the bushing was being pressed out?

#GG. Changing bushings turned into control arm replacement.

lo****************:

"This would be a really good time to have a workbench. I'm gonna use the floor." haha classic.

Gi***************:

Pushing the bushing LOL

ro***********:

This is an amazing video. I love the way that you explain everything in full detail. You go the extra step to explain even the most simple things. Great video, keep up to amazing work. You sound like a prime time host.

i3******:

Thank you so much, just don't stop doing this videos

Ge************:

Great video and instructions, very impressive and very helpful indeed.

81*****:

“Pushing the bushing”...can’t get that out of my head.

To***:

Funny thing is that a lot of times, you can actually buy the new complete control arms CHEAPER than buying the bushings separately and installing it yourself ! This was the case with my 98 Lincoln Mark VIII and 93 Town Car

da*****************:

Always a great job Chris.Thanks

jo*******:

Also a good idea to put a support piece between the sides of the control arm so it is not crushed or distorted by the press.

al*****:

Great job Chris, you have the gift of explaining things real well and in a language that anyone can understand. What I really love about your videos is that you sound confident, you're precise in your language and none of those "umm" in your narratives. Keep up the good work man.

Me***********:

I've watched a bunch of how-to videos and I like your explanations and visuals the best.

Ni***********:

DO NOT USE A IMPACT!!!! It will severely damage the threads on the tool

Ge***********:

Your videos are an excellent resource for me for my 1973 Challenger restoration project. Very thorough and informative. I appreciate your help!

LA***:

"It's real easy! All you need to do is buy a bunch of super expensive tools!" LOL

Or you can save a lot of time, frustration and money, and take your arms to a shop that will change the bushings for a few bucks.

Za***:

everytime i hear the fact that you guys can rent tools free from your auto parts store makes me want to migrate

Ma*********:

Penetrating fluid, pushing the bushing..... Come on, am I the only one

Jo*******:

For everybody doing this, you need to have a spacer for removing the bushings on lower control arms (on older vehicles) and for most modern control arms. The easiest (and cheapest) way is to take exhaust pipe and cut it wide enough to fit in between the metal, but it must be cut in half (making two c shapes) in order to fit around the bushing to keep from bending the metal. Hope this helps somebody before it’s too late.

Ty**********:

Getting ready to change ball joints on 98 Chevy truck, your video was very informative on how to use press good detail Thank you!

Jo********:

Another Great video Chris, we all are learning a great Deal from a pro like you. It's time to save ourselves some money $$ and subscribe to the "Chris Fix" Cannel.

Ad********:

Im gonna change my own bushing on my rsx. I ask how much to push out the bushing and they said 60. This is if i just take the control arm to them wtf

Po********:

Not only pro mechanic, but also pro Youtube video editor which is VERY important. Nothing worse than a video being 3X or 4X as long as it needs to be because of lazy video posters. Thanks, Chris

Wh******:

I went to Belle Tire because the back end of my Focus was squeaking bad. They told me it was worn out control bushings and that bushings don't come separate anymore and that I'd have to get new control arms too. I knew it was total bullshit but I was about to embark on a long roadtrip and just wanted to get the car fixed and quiet. They charged me $400 for this shit and the car still squeaked. Took it back in after the trip and they magically took only 30 seconds to tell me the squeaking is from a loose parking brake bracket and they tied it down with zip ties. I told them that they tricked me into spending $400 and they were a bunch of scammers and I'll never go back there again.

Cl*************:

Pro Tip: Take your control arms with the worn out bushings and place them in a fire pit with cardboard. Set the cardboard on fire until the old rubber bushings catch fire. They will start burning and literally pop out all by themselves. Allow the control arms to cool off naturally by themselves before touching them. You will usually have to remove the round metal casings but they will come out very easily. The old paint and grease will also burn off, making the control arms very easy to wire brush to bare metal.
