Front Lower Control Bushing

[Brian1133]

Hi, my front lower control bushings need changing. I know I need a the ball joint tool to change them but I don’t want to take the whole control arm off. Could there be enough play perhaps by take the bolts bolts off, pry it down and change the bushing? Anyone ever have that experience? I hate changing the lower control arm.

Fill out your profile a bit so we know which vehicle you have..
4wd/awd/rwd.. those things will make a diff...
I personally just change the whole arm assembly .. Then you get a
new control arms with both bushings and a new ball joint...
You'll have to look at your RPO codes to make sure you get the correct stuff too
Just stick with a better brand on this

Definitely just swap out both control arms. Did the wife's Escalade a little while ago, marked where the adjusters were. Went for the alignment and it was almost spot on.
