There are a few videos on here trying to show you how to do this job, this one is the only one worth watching. Its no nonsense, in my opinion the right way to do the job! thank you!
I did loosen neither the tie rod end nor the control arm - no reason for those steps!. I used a spring compressor to drive the shock absorber tube away in order to get access to those four bolts in the back. Important!- turn the steering wheel to maximum right to further relieve the tension! The removal of the control arm also makes tightening more uncomfortable because the steady support vanishes. But surely Mike knows what is best for him! 😉
Excellent stuff. I followed your recommendations and changed out my hubs using a spring compressor. I think I could do it under an hour next time round. The only thing I added was a quick clamp reversed into spreading mode to push the steering knuckle down to get better access to the last hub assembly bolt.
Man I did my control and support arms and new rotors then realized I need a new wheel hub 🙄. Shit!! I might as well change my shocks Car has 240k miles
