Everything people say about your videos being the best is very true Chris. Hands down the best video on this subject. Your close up shots are so helpful. I have watched a ton of your videos and you are the best there is. Your videos have helped me gain not only knowledge but also confidence. Thank you so much for what you do and for doing it so well.

Just like your most recent one from a month ago (How to Replace Control Arms and Bushings to Fix a Bouncy Suspension, Yu were real detailed in this one as well. I like the older videos as well. I'm using these to replace my lower control arms and spring to fix my noisy suspension on my 2013 Lincoln mkZ aka Ford Fusion. Thanks ChrisFix!

Every time I watch a video of yours I get butterflies in my stomach because it feels like I'm learning my whole vehicle from a badass teacher I never had and without having to read my manual. I'm more of a visual learner. Thank you for all you do, your tips are awesome, and keep up the good work you are blessed and highly favored!

You are supposed to tighten the control arm bolts AT RIDE HEIGHT (i. e. weight on wheels. It not, your bushings will not last very long. Other than that, good video. I was initially looking to see your method of marking the cam washers. Thanks.

For some reason when I put the new control arm into the knuckle the punch bolt wont go back in. I tried greasing it, wiggling it and jacking up the knuckle but its not going in. Should I drill the pinch bolt hole slight larger?

Question: I always torque control arm bushing bolts at ride height. Meaning I tighten the bolts after vehicle is lowered to the ground.
I assume this is correct though I've never actually been instructed to do this.

I'm doing this on my truck because it seemed easier than just changing just the ball joint. You make it look way too easy on the side with the brake line. Mine almost made me go postal.
