Hello there SMC! Been watching your vids for years! Your A/C videos really helped me alot, thank you! Came across a 2016 Outlander Sport with a supposed trailer arm issue that requires it to be replaced. I've started researching this model and it's suspension is different than I'm used to. Do you have any experience with replacing a trailer arm? If so, know where I can find this part other than the dealer? Doubt it, but thought I'd ask you.

I noticed you use a lot of moog stuff in your repairs. Is it because of availability or is it good? I have to do a lot of suspension work on my 03 accord. Going for KYB quick struts, skunk2 upper control arm for camber adjustment mine is out of spec (+1. 7 camber, and moog lower ball joint? Also considering moog adjustable rear upper control arm to fix positive rear camber as well.

The video was great. I have a 2009 Outlander. And I have a few questions for you.
Can this be done with a set of jacks stands? And do you think that you need to change both left and right side lower, also the tie rods and upper ball joint. Im asking to avoid having to have multiple front end alligments I was always told that you need an alignment when you change any ball joints.

hey I may have found the answer before you reply but worth a try, when doing a ball joint on the outlander must you do a wheel alignment, I'm confident I can do the Job for my gf, but the workshop in BC said it was needed. my head tells me nothing to do with the alignment is affected by the replacing of the control arm. any info appreciated

I have a 2003 outlander that vibrates in the front when I'm cruising at about 40mph. I've been told it's not a transmission issue but no one can tell me anything else. It almost sounds and feels like I'm going over deep rumble strips. Could this be the issue? Thanks!

I used this video extensively to replace the LCA on my 2010 Outlander, as the rear bushings were toast! I will say, that I wouldn't want to tackle this job without an impact wrench, as it was crucial to loosening all three bolts. Thanks again for the helpful video.

I bought moog control arms for my 09 lancer, after 10k they started make clunking noise
It was the ball joint that goes to the knuckle
Well I learned my lesson once again if you are cheap sucker youll pay twice
Buy OEM save money and time

I am in the middle of replacing that lower control arm on an 04 Outlander and that horizontal front bolt is seized to the sleeve. I am turning breaker bars and it moves the entire control arm. I can't see a way to cut it out. It is a nightmare.

thank you, just did this job on my lancer (same procedure and part) you really helped me out. also, I just ended up jacking the knuckle up when it came time to torque the bolts. so it wouldn't twerk the bushings
