Lower Control Arm Restore rebuild refinish 

Good to see a person taking pride in his work Paying attention to detail you just gave me the incentive to mine over starting on a 72 Elcamino front end. Thanks for sharing you did a professional job

I had a clunkity klunk issue so I bought a set of control arms. I had the car up, tires off and was ready to change them out when I saw that there were 2 bolts loose on one side and 1 on the other. Just a quick tightening and I would have been done with it all. Since I was half way there and beside me were 2 new Beck Arnley control arms, it was a no brainer. Well, the rest is history and they perform like a champ. Moral of the story is, check for loose bolts before you spend money replacing something that knocks and Klunks.

Awesome video! Very helpful. The “bell” trick listening for cracks was a new one for me! Keep the videos coming!

Love it! First time seeing this sort of work being done. What a treat!

love the shop...a lifetime of work on display...well done.

Great work. Superior attention to detail.

Well done sir. Thank you for sharing. I did not know about the outgassing step prior to powder. Good information

Those arms came out really nice….good job!👍🏿

There's something just so nice about this. I love the feeling of fixing something up.

great job I wasnt aware there was more to those control arms but now I feel more comfortable

You did a fantastic job there Sir.

Great video, very informative and great tips

Great tip with the bushing ear support. I was using sockets to brace but will be cutting some half pipes. I don’t like buying control arms when they can be rebuilt much cheaper. Great video and great results on your restoration.

Nice job!

Isn't the mounting bar that threads inside the bushings need to be in one side before the last bushing is pressed in? Love the powder coat!!! Thanks.

1971 Chevy C10, any idea where I can find replacement control arm bushings. Great video. Thank you

Here's a little trick that works if all you have is a cordless drill to clean holes of paint [or whatever] like the size of these bushings. I take a 3 stone brake hone and some drywall sanding screen, and wrap just enough around the first stone to use a paper clip to secure in place. [100 grit to remove paint or 220 to resize metal for a close fit]. Wrap the remainder around the opposite direction of drill rotation and voila: nice, clean, concentric holes. Not machine shop quality obviously, but pretty darn good compared to most anything anyone ever shadetreed. Can this work on machined parts? Yes - I resized a crankshaft sprocket this way before, as the crank snout was ground down to 1.510", missing the 1.490 to 1.495 spec, and I just wasn't going to tear down a recently assembled motor for a machine shop to do the work. Just plain stones [as the tool comes with] would not have worked, as they would have cought in the keyways and shattered or damaged the part - the screen spread the load and kept stones from bouncing. Caveat? I had a micrometer and snap gauges to check my work.

Hello, nice job on those control arms, if you had bend ears at the bushings, how would you correct it?

I love the pipe tip, to prevent collapsing the arms when pressing out the bushing. Is that fence pipe of some type or galvanized plumbing pipe?

Hey there Glen! how's winter been treating ya?
