Great DIY video! Not gonna lie though, I did the lower control arm and cv axle replacement on my 2009 Turbo S last night while using this as a reference and you make it look way easier. 🤣 A rusted bolt on my control arm and a lift on mine as well made it a MUCH longer process than I thought. Couldn't have made it through it without this vid, but rethinking my DIY skills at this point. Haha
Quality “how-to” video, well done. I definitely would not use the pickle fork but each to their own there. I’m buying a 2007 to rebuild and bring it back to its former glory. I appreciate people like you taking the time to produce something like this. I also can’t endorse enough to people doing their own work to use the paint marker on all bolts, nuts. Great confidence when you routinely check and see nothing has moved.
This is the best DIY video I have seen for this repair. I have a 2004 Turbo with hydraulic bushings ... unlike the Turbo S with solid bushings. I'm guessing the Audio LCA you are using are going to be the best value/performance option.
For those looking for torque specs without watching the video: Upper control arm - 37ft-lbs, Upper strut bolts - 37ft-lbs + 90 degrees, Upper Ball Joint 63 ft-lbs, Lower Ball Joint 77ft-lbs, Lower control arm 126ft-lbs, Lower Strut bolts 63ft-lbs, Sway Bar 81.5 ft-lbs.
The upper control arm should be 155mm from the edge of the mounting bracket on the top of the strut and the centre of the wheel should be 499mm from the edge of the wing when tightening up the bolts going through the relevant bushes.
Excellent presentation and very professional. "Boom baby" 😄🙌. Would you have a rough estimate of how long this takes in real time for a standard set up each side?
Boom Baby!!! Mike - thank you so much for this DIY - I have to do this soon on mine (2008 CTT). Very helpful. I would buy you beer and pizza if you did my control arms. Just sayin' Thanks again.
I really enjoyed this DIY - very complete. Since I need to replace my ride height sensors (common issue), I was interested in the places where you disconnected/connected the ride height sensor cables, as it gave me a chance to get a better view. At least you did not need to press the ball joints out and back in - had to do that on a Bronco, and it was a bit of a pain (even with air and the special press). Were these OEM replacement control arms, or special heavy duty ones? There's another FCP Euro video showing special control arms on a Mercedes from Syncro Design Works, including footage of the control arms while on a track, showing how much play regular arms have vs the special ones (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GY909OF47Ng.html). Thanks for the Cayenne DIY - I'm always hungry for more!
Hi Johnathon, glad we could be of some help! For this video, the top arms are standard replacements from Meyle, the bottom arms are HD from Meyles HD line.
Hey!!! What is the front skid plate and bumper of this truck? FYI, I just did this service. It's a bit more tender when you don't have a professional lift. That be said, a little bit of crawling around in tight places and muscle will get the job done. Thanks for this video!
Love to hear it Adrian, the lift certainly makes working and filming the videos easier! Both of those units came from our friend Mike over at Eurowise Performance.
Great video, would you happen to know the part numbers for the lower control arm Adjusting(Eccentric) Bolts and Nuts/Lock Nuts..? Will I need 4 of the same Bolts and Nuts, 2 for each lower control arm? Or are the front and rear eccentric Bolts and Lock Nuts on the lower control arm different? I need to order but I stuck at this point.
An OTC 7314A Pitman Arm Puller will press out both lower and upper ball joints + the outer tie rod end. Lose the hammer and fork. Your causing damage to the other components and making yourself look like a rookie. You tightened the lower strut bolt with the suspension at full droop. That bushing isn't going to last.
Hi boss I have porsche cayenne turbo 2009 ..I have problem with starter engine when engine hot no starter after check with technician he said starter problem...then I bought new one after 2 months again same problem no starter when engine hot..then try with new 2nd battery AGM 105 A varta Germany made ...
@@fcpeuroDo you need to fill the airstrut with some air for those vented air when you took the airline off, or the system will automatically compensate those loss once the car is lowered and driven?Thank you!
