Very straight forward. Doesn't matter "How" you get it done (if time and effort aren't a factor); just matters that it gets done right. Nice job bud.

@CraftyWorkshopBuilds 2 года назад

Yea, for sure. Much respect 👍🏽

@jungletrain7448 4 месяца назад

a snapped bolt which based on his advertisement you should replace the whole part, extracting bushes without a press or a proper extractor there is thew risk of bend the bushes hole, if you dont have proper tools next time better try heating the part, it make the rubber and the nylon easier to come put and dont risk to bend anything vital...

you definitely will be a reference to rebuild my gti man, ty for your videos, believe or not I got my cayenne calipers today motivated by your video, ty! Please, dont forgot to post How to rebuilt the caliper, after winter time I'll start my upgrade, ty!!

@CraftyWorkshopBuilds 2 года назад

Thaks for watching! You'll definitely appreciate the brake upgrade. Once you start to add power to these cars, the brakes starts to become a weak point. Yea, stay tuned for the rebuild l.

Hi mate, if you ever come across another bolt like that, in future loosen & tighten the bolt until you get it off. Loosen till you feel high resistance & and tighten half or full turn. Eventually you'll get it off & then happy days

@peterhristov7416 2 года назад

Nice sharing

@CraftyWorkshopBuilds 2 года назад

@Mikachu9426 Год назад

Awesome video, ordered my bushings and new balljoints as well! I forgot to order the bolts for the bushings though, whats the part # of that bolt that was seized and broke? Thanks for the guide !

@darenkutina8770 Год назад

Do you have a video of how to replace that part with a broken bolt in it?

@jungletrain7448 4 месяца назад

he went to a garage for that...

@miitsaras7 Год назад

Can you please tell me what is the difference between the yellow or the purple silent blocks that i found on internet for my car.i have seat altea xl freetrack 1.4 tsi 2011.i didn't find red as yours.what is the ideal?i must change and the silent block from the antiroll bar? thank you very much

@johngonzalez1193 Год назад

What size socket did you use for pressing the bushing out of the control arm rear mount?

@gver5350 Год назад

Very nice. Thank you. Never place your meat in front of the blade.

@mozartsghost9271 Год назад

You wouldn't happen to have the control arm bolt part numbers by chance would you? Did you buy the hardware as a kit or individually? Were your old bushings shot? What did it feel like that caused you to replace these?

@JabulaniKunene-zz7hi 7 месяцев назад

What do you call that part that broke the bolt

@TheMidlandAngler 2 года назад

The same bolt snapped on my mk5 bro- what is the part you showed as I need to know!!! Thanks 🙏🏻

@CraftyWorkshopBuilds 2 года назад

That part is called the subframe bracket. I added the part numbers in the description, so it's easier for others to see it as well.

@colinnorman1484 14 дней назад

hacksaw for the front rubber safer and faster

@maggieday6895 Год назад

Hi, when you say that if you break the bolt (or if it's corroded) you will need to replace this "part". What is that "part" called? My vehicle bushes are worn/bolts corroded so I will need to replace that "part". I just don't know what to call it.

@CraftyWorkshopBuilds Год назад

It's called the subframe bracket.

@AltruisticWarrior 2 года назад

Will this be the same for the MK6 Jetta S manual? It's so hard to find anything on my car. 😮‍💨 It shakes at higher speeds but 2 different shops confirmed the only thing bad on the vehicle is the bushings. Not bad for 200k though. It's vibrated since the day I bought it at 60k even after completely new rims and 3 different sets of tires.

@CraftyWorkshopBuilds 2 года назад

Yea, bad bushings will only get worse. Yes it will fit on the Jetta.

@AltruisticWarrior 2 года назад

@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds good time to do the struts and coils too then. I appreciate your comprehensive in detail videos and response. Stay good my dude! 😁

@CraftyWorkshopBuilds 2 года назад

@@AltruisticWarrior Yea, make sense. Since you'll already be removing the lower strut anyways. Much respect, thanks for checking out my videos👍🏽

@H3AT_VeGaS Год назад

Any idea why my acceleration has a jerk to it after replacing the control arms? For some reason, it is less noticeable in Sport/Manual than it is in Drive

@CraftyWorkshopBuilds Год назад

I'd suggest going over the bolts and make sure everything is tight.

@TalalAlSa3ad Год назад

Careful with the razor man !

@danjim7056 17 дней назад

Man, if you have the auto transfer you have to lower the crossmemwnr thing and loft the teans and shit. Not sure why they dosnt juat put the bolt in the other Dire tion there is plenty of room

@user-rb1yf4he9q Год назад

M/T drivers have it so easy. Us DSG drivers got to drop so much more shit just to get a bolt out.

@KemoDonTV 2 года назад

What's your honest opinion on these cars would you consider them to be reliable?

@CraftyWorkshopBuilds 2 года назад

Yea, I do think they can be reliable if you address the common problems.

@AltruisticWarrior 2 года назад

I have the 2.0 S with a manual trans. Mine has been extraordinary in reliability. To date at 200k I've only had to replace a rear door lock, oil cooler and this little vacuum line piece that was 30 bucks. I can't say the same for turbo charged or automatic vehicles but mine has been great. Getting ready to swap out the blower motor and resistor as it's finally showing signs of dying but really. Doing all the work myself it's less than 500 bucks. Not bad for a 10 year old car with that many miles.
