Great vid. Trick - have the new balljoint sitting in the freezer while you are removing the original. Slides in like butter, especially if you also heat the knuckle. excellent walk through!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video! I just did this on my 2010 challenger and wish I saw this first! Just wondering, after the install, were there any clunks/pops/creaks that stuck around or were created by the job? Have the parts lasted?
Thanks, I meant to say torque to proper specs if I didn't. I didn't want to give torque specs since they could change depending on model and year and such.
Mine is a 2011. The dusk cover did not come off after removing the 3 bolts. It spin around on there. May the 2012 has a section that is empty of the metal? Mine would not come off unless I remove that wheel bearing.
Absolutely, you want to tighten down all the bushings in the position they will be in at ride height because they don't rotate once they are tightened. Thanks for the tip.
Only when it’s time to tighten the pivoting bushing parts, like the inner parts of the upper, lower, and tension strut, as well as the strut bolt on the lower control arm. And end links.
Amazon don’t make parts… it’s all third party out like advance auto, Napa and autozone and so on. I started questioning the video when you used a regular socket on and impact to remove the lugs.😂 Other than that great job/video.
So the only thing I’m having a hard time with is replacing all of these factory parts that total up to close to $3000 with junkie Chinese ones that could possibly break and actually cause catastrophic failure. I’m having a really hard time right now deciding on what to do.
@@PerpetualProjects parts came in yesterday finished installing them the only thing I struggled with was moving the struts instead of taking them fully off I just unbolted them and pushed them back enough for me to b able to remove the upper control arms , everything worked out tho saved me 1200$ @ the mechanic for labour ♥️♥️♥️
@@x7superpocketbike941 that’s awesome!! We really appreciate you commenting and letting us know. 😊Our goal for this video was to show our viewers that with a little motivation and proper research they can tackle repairs like this themselves ❤️❤️
@Perpetual Projects I asked because I ordered a suspension kit from Amazon and the the grease fitting that came with it didn't fit the tire rodes did you have that same issue? And I think I've found a solution of just using a needle end for the grease gun to eject right into the boot
@@PerpetualProjects appreciate it man grabbed a 2015 RT out of auction for a steal had a busted knuckle passenger side decided to give it a shot aswell because of this video I’ll keep you guys updated how all goes
They are better than the wore out stuff that was on there. While it could last longer with all factory parts, it isn't always feasible to spend that much on 10 year old car with a bunch of miles that isn't worth the cost of the replacement parts.
