New Control Arm with Ball Joint Set from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1ASF...
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. This video shows you how to install a new quality TRQ driver side lower control arm in your 2007-14 Ford Edge.

Thanks.... a mechanic here in Illinois wants to charge me an estimate of 700$ in parts and labor. God bless RU-vid and of course the guys making this video. 700 is just a starting price.

Gotta torque those bushing bolts loaded bro or you twist the bushing.

@Dinie09 4 года назад

Highly, highly suggest switching that style of sway bar out for something like the Moog K750159. The combination of rust, red thread lock, and hex socket leads to stripping of the hex very often. I had to cut off my sway bars because the hex sockets stripped out. Not a problem with the Moogs (has a square on the sway bar shaft that a wrench easily fits onto). Otherwise great quick video.

Short, sweet and concise... With torque specs. Love it dude. My stabilizer links I had to grind out due to corrosion. Replaced the driver side outter your rod too. Thanks a bunch. If you're reading this, do you use never-seez on these bolts too?

So basically I can't do this in my parking lot with a jack and jack stands 😩😭. Mechanic: "yeaaaah youre gonna need a whole new everything. I can do it for you march 20th for $1350"

By any chance, what issues lead to the diagnosis of replacement lower control arm

@Rustaceann 4 года назад

Make sure to get an even coat of penetrating fluid on the brake rotor!.... good vid though, needed to know what bolts to buy, my moog control arms didn't come with any

@MiguelAngel-pz2sd 4 года назад

Thank you! that is an excellent video and very helpful.

@brandonsmith8548 3 года назад

I can not get those 2 bolts to lineup! And yours slid in way easier! Had to force mine in wait a hammer

@capitalcanecorso1314 2 года назад

Hi there, why did u torque the control arm bolt with wheel on and weight on it? They say that how it suppose to be done...

what about upper arm?

@Rustaceann 4 года назад

I'm pretty sure the only upper is a rear... different video

@Rustaceann 4 года назад

There is no upper control arm on the front because the steering knuckle connects directly to the strut

@haleysnyder8887 3 месяца назад

Pretty good videos but the torque specs are off. The castle but for the tire rod is not 85ft pounds it’s 35ft pounds. The two smaller 15mm bolts for the control arm are not 111ft pounds they are actually 58ft pounds. Just as a heads up.

@MrCopper18 3 года назад

So here’s a good question. At 2:50. What happens when the weld breaks on that nut inside the sub assembly? I’m currently stuck with what to do on mine. Everything came apart great, but now going back together is damn near impossible.

@por356s 3 года назад

I just had the same thing happen .. This is probably late for you, but if someone else runs into this. I had to cut the frame to open a "window", was not the hard. I cut thru the steel front to back and then went side to side only cutting half way thru. was able to bend down the "flap". Inside the nut is a 21mm. A box end wrench fit nicely. Then was able to unscrew the bolt.

@bryanthorburn8034 2 года назад

@@por356s thanks. Thats pretty much what i suspected but you confirmed it. Stupid ass design

@ianbeeman2937 2 года назад

So what do I do when the bolt on the back of the sub frame just free spins

@srlbotanical Год назад

The upper nut is tack-welded on. You can take the wheel well skirt off to gain access, so you can hold that nut if the tac-weld fails.

@oleksandrmulyar2350 4 года назад

The torque spects are different. For tie-rod end only 35 instead of 85, and 2 vertical bolts 59 instead of 111.

@edge5754 4 года назад

Yup tie rod castle nut is way over torqued and 2 back end bolts for the control arm are over torqued also. He also shouldn't have tightened the stabilizer links by turning the on the bolt, he was suppose to turn the nut only.

@oleksandrmulyar2350 4 года назад

BIG DAWG exactly.

@edge5754 4 года назад

@@oleksandrmulyar2350 especially the stabilizer link nuts which have a major tendency of being frozen on. If you use the Allen key to turn it you strip it. It's only used to hold it from spinning. Plus that over torqued rear bolts smh can cause issues later on. Not even going to mention the tie rod castle nut. Pet peeve of mine. Worked on aircraft for to many years and know what over torqued nuts/bolts can do under pressure. I've change my control arms on my 07 Edge 3 times and I've just changed them recently. Last thing you never put Red thread lock on those threads. Red thread lock is for permanent placement not for parts that are to be removed from time to time. He did that on the passenger side video for the lower control arms. Smh

@markblair7859 3 года назад

Hey! Great video. I have a question. I cannot find any videos of replacing ONLY the lower ball joint on 2010 Ford Edge. I’ve done ball joints on other Ford vehicles but not this one so I’m not sure if I have to replace the whole control arm or if I can replace just the lower ball joint. I don’t want to have to remove the whole LCA to change the ball joint. Any help would be appreciated!!!

@Codename5A3 2 года назад

The lower ball joint is pressed into the control arm and retained with a snap ring. They can be replaced independently of the lower control arm, but you'll likely need to remove the control arm from the vehicle to remove the old and install the new ball joint.

Great Video!! Thank You

@joelzkins 2 года назад

tie rod end nut is 85 pounds in this video but on the other video with the inner tie rod ends he says 35 pound for the tir rod end nut. im 35 is the correct spec

@lamontsmalls6086 Год назад

Is an alignment required after this repair?

YES!

Why does tie rod have to come out if U got control arm out without disconnecting it?

@TRQ 3 года назад

+FU420B Thanks for watching! We went a bit out of order in this video, but yes you will want to disconnect the outer tie rod.

@kendallthomas4544 2 года назад

do you have to the tie rod off?

@SineMacula Год назад

Why is there literally no video's on 2015 and up Ford edge? It's like the 2015 and up don't exist, even the auto part store's struggle to find parts. 🤷
