I bring you along as I change the lower control arm on a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. Ting: Hi Eric, the balljoints and bushings on my lower control arms were worn out thus I just replaced the two front lower control arms myself with the help from this video. Car is a 2007 Pontiac Montana SV6, and all bolts and nuts were torqued to specs. After the replacement, I noticed that my steering wheel is off center (about 10 degrees to the left. Could a front end alignment fix this or did I do anything wrong? Thank you!

Thank you thank you thank you. Perfect. Thought my steering posit sensor was bad. Boy when these bushings go bad that sensor will steer you all over the road. dANGEROUS. Again showed me exactly what I needed. My car wrenching started when I was 15. First car 1952 ford old school. Sometimes the new dangled auto a pain in the arse. 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. Last Chrysler I owned I swore never buy another. Lesson learned.

Hey Mr O! Just wanted to make sure, but it IS important to have some tension or close to vehicle weight on the lower control arm like you did in the video, before torquing down the bolts, right? Im about to replace the lower arms on my wifes 2006 Sequoia and I really respect your car knowledge. Just wanted to double check that with you. Thanks and keep up the great videos!

lol ive been trying to do mine for 2 days i heated the control arm and still cant get the bolt out but then i found there was so much heat i melted the cv boot.
im working on the drivers side bought 2 new front bolts and i havent found out what that little line is sitting ontop of the frame so i hope i dont damage it. a friend is coming over to cut it out,

why is it that you dont want me to see it all as it happens. i want to see every crank of the wrench in real time. got? all so i want your videos numbered in order so i wont miss any and i can log # & title with discription in my note book for later viewing etc. SO START NUMBERING THEM NOW!

The control arm, I have the same car every time I put in brakes or take off there is a piping sound and the steering wheel moves on it on. How do I test the control arm bushing and the rest of the front. There is something wrong just don't know t
Know what it is. All the popping.

Hey, great videos! Can you comment on torching out bolts that are seized into bushing sleeves? I've encountered this a couple of times as a DIY-er and it always kicks my ass. Each time, I've had to cut the bolts out with a reciprocating saw.

My new morning routine is coffee and SMA videos. Nighttime? Water and SMA. You're right, the YouTube is dangerous! I listen to SMA vids while I'm driving to work. but I only watch in heavy traffic.

The morale value of this video far outweighs the technical ability demonstrated by Mr. O. And that is saying a lot due to his superior mechanical proficiency. Great job, Sir.
