Following this video has you putting in the strut before the cv axle, can't get the cv axle in if you do it in this order. Video shows cv axle going in after the strut, but when showing the cv axle being slid into place, the strut isn't installed. Had to redo work following this.

You can take the lower control arm off with out taking off the knuckle or cv axle .

My thoughts, having just done this on my 2013 Chevy Avalanche: First, my school of thought is if one ball joint needs replacement, and you have to take everything apart anyway - replace both control arms and tie rod, (inner and outer). I would not re-use a rusty sway bar link bolt, and I would use Fluid Film to goop up the new link to keep the rust monster at bay. You don’t need to remove the shock. Loosen the top nuts so you can move the shock around a bit after removing the lower shock bolts. If you replace the upper control arm you MIGHT have to remove the shock to get the upper cam bolts off. You don’t have to remove the axle either, although if you don’t, there will not be enough room to get a torque wrench on the upper control arm ball joint nut. Check the torque specs for your year GM vehicle as these specs do vary. Don’t rely on the torques stated in this video. Overall, I’d say this is a very good representation of this job.

You don’t have to unbolt the cv axle... if you want to I guess but I did it on my 2015 Silverado and I just undid the cv nut and took the spindle and everything off and tied the cv shaft to the frame so it wasn’t hanging

Hello...I'm in the process of replacing both lower control arms on my 2014 Silverado and I noticed something. When you were putting the new control arm on, it showed that you put the shock/strut back on BEFORE you put the axle back on, but I tried it step by step and I could not get the axle back in with the strut in the way! Was your video somehow edited?! It looked like some of your steps aren't in order!

Is the torque spec on the lower control arm nuts really 59 ft lbs? GM I thought calls for 129ft lbs. "Lower control arm to frame- 129 ft/lbs" Can you advise?
@1AAuto
@1AAuto 3 года назад
+Complete Tuning Solutions Thanks for checking us out! On this particular application, yes, the rear bolts would need to be torqued to 59 ft/lbs. We would suggest double checking proper torque specifications in a repair manual specific for your vehicle before completing installation.
@cliffordcmayhewiii6549
@cliffordcmayhewiii6549 3 года назад
I was thinking the same thing. The other video for the upper control are they tourney them to 100. Can believe the lowers would be 59
@cliffordcmayhewiii6549
@cliffordcmayhewiii6549 3 года назад

Do not hit your axle with a metal hammer. It will mushroom and the nut will cross thread.

Yes, at 4:01 you can see there is no room between the ball joint and the axle to lift up and remove lower arm.
