These symptoms describe the issues I have been increasingly experiencing - thank you! Now I need to see it is just one of them or both. Great description of the issues on this video!
@@autoinfogroup1629 Well I just finished installing new struts and that was needlessly difficult lol. The sleeves the struts needs to sit in has to be pried open so they can slide in. Had to jerry rig the bolt that tightens the sleave and thread it in from the opposite side with a spanner in the gap to push the sleeve open so the strut can slide in. That took me about 4 hours of hammering my wheel hub to figure out. Also I don't have a hydraulic press to take off the old bushings so I'll have to redneck them off somehow.
I just put a new drive and to fit the drive i had jeck the engine a bit so icould fit the drive shaft in its place after my i notice it setting on suspension what the cause of that .its a v50 2.4 wagon volvo please help.
How do i buy it, for my lincoln mkx, i need the rear ones, but that i find is the front ones, i need them really bad, if someone can help i would appreciate it
hi! i know my thrust arms on my bmw need replacement. got the appointment thsi week. the thing that bothers me the most is the wandering. the wheel often rotates left/right and i need to counter it. will it solve the problem? it is a wishbone shaped arm eith the bushing (they are leaking oil and 100% need replacement. left front bushing is super worn. tire is also staying a bit forward is not centrred in the wheel like the roght side) can you recommend me other things i should check? thank you very much!
Like said the lower arms needs a replacement and additionally, check the steering rack for preload adjustments. If its too off, vehicle won't stay straight.
Hi! I have recently started to experience a pull while braking. Braking gently does not cause anything. control arm likely needs replacing but what else?
My truck vibrates intensely when I brake at 60mph+ but not on city speeds. Dealership said it was my brakes so got my rotors and pads replaced warped rotors but the problem wasn’t solved. A mechanic friend said my lower control arm bushings have play in them but dealership disagrees - could it be due to the lower control arm?
I honestly feel like it’s not too bad as long as it’s the front arms cause when your going fast the weight is in the back of the suspension mostly. Just watch out for bumps 😬. Also I notice you put this a month ago? Any updates, if not I’m going to assume you died because of it.
Hi, I have slight steering wheel vibration at every speed but it’s not constant, it varies, sometimes only at highway speeds and sometimes even at lower speeds. The steering wheel has some play in it and sometimes it feels as the wheel is misaligned but not always, it varies. I also feel that the wheel wobbles. Could it be the control arm or is it a steering rack problem? Thanks
Lowr arm can cause misaligned steering wheel and excess tire wear but vibration is less chance. Do check the bearing and balance the tires also check if the tires are in good condition.
@@autoinfogroup1629 Is it best to go ahead and replace the control arm, ball joints and tie rods ends since my car has over 200,000 miles? I've never replaced those and plus I don't want to get one done then will eventually have to pay out more money if the others wear out later down the line.
Yes it's better to replace as whole bcs the rubber bushing will become hard as time goes n will eventually break. If it's more than 8 years or more than 150k miles it's good to change. Also the joints might be worn enough and with limited grease as well.
I was told to replace it immediately, as I was planning to do a lot of highway/high speed driving. This should allow you to avoid an accident and costly tow services.
I need to do my control arm on a Mercedes, my camber off and Mercedes you need special bolts or replace arms, that’s what I’m doing but this video shows me nothing
