Fwiw not possible without air tools….I tried cause I didn't feel like going to my shop where the compressor etc were.. no luck with the front bolt, had toget my impact involved. North Eastern car….maybe a southern car would be easier.
Nice easy Job Eric O Good video these older videos I've been binge-watching just so entertaining while I'm editing @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
Great vid again Mr O.
Torque install procedures from 2007 Factory Service Manual: Ball joint pinch bolt 53 +/- 7 ft-lbs.
"The part indicated by **indicates parts which should be temporarily tightened, and then fully tightened with the vehicle standing on the ground and the curb weight condition. **Control arm front and rear mount bolts/nuts 82 +/- 7 ft-lbs".
Stay gold.
Know an American company that makes fronts that will fit a 2008?
What are the specs on the bolts and thanks for the video my outlander does the same thing
Would it be a bad idea to spray all the joints with a penetrating spray to help loosen it all?
Does the bolts need torgued back up with the car loaded?
Torque specs on those bad boys?
Do you think this is more difficult using a jack with jack stands?
Thanks much from Alaska.
Cheers
Where to find torque specifications for control arm bushing bolts
Just got parts today, can't wait till tomorrow, to get started, anyone can do it.
Thanks dude.
Good job. I have the Pug 4007, basically the same car.
Thanks for the tips. But a little to dark movie!
Very easy, thanks. My next job
Great Job I hope all the repairs on this 03 are as easy as you just made that look. Well, here goes..
Great video, seems to be easier on this 2nd gen Outlander than on my first gen because on the first gen with the 2.4 engine you can't take the bolt in the front out due to the oilfilter being in the way, so whenever you have to change the passenger side lower control arm you will also need to do an oilservice as you will have to remove the oilfilter to get the damn bolt out. The only other way would be to slightly drop the whole front subframe to get that bolt out.
Thanks for a useful info!
What's the size on the bolt with no nut?
Great job! Hey how do you reset app travel sensor on the 06 outlander.
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.
Major airline lead mech. 33 years here, excellent job with none of the fluff.
Thanks for the tips its gonna be easy ihope my wife has a Outlander needs control arms.
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. I’m 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.
This mits outlander whath good engine v6 or 2.4 and whath year are best 2007 and up
nice video but please tell also the torque for each bolt so it can be easy for us.
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 you’ll pay twice
Buy OEM save money and time
How is it that a car that old doesn't have a ton of rust all over❓
can u sent a image of your special tool to desperate the ball joint.
i have the same model. is the ball joint removable or i will have to change the control arm??
are you able to replace JUST the lower ball joint on the 06 outlander or do you have to replace the entire arm
Thanks for the video.
Your got the stuff!
thank you for your valuable advice,,, reeeally important,
These outlanders have to be some of the easiest cars to work on.
Looks almost identical to the 08 Lancer, they don't future and upper ball joint?
Who the heck would give this vid a thumbs down!?!? Thanks for making it!
You sound like a fckn robot
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.
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.
I beilive there is no thread on the end of the bolt pounched in 1.30 time. Becouse if there is one possibly it does not exist any more now.
would you do a video on how to change the spark plugs on a Mitsubishi Outlander 2011
thank you very much
Great Video, I thought the control arm and the ball joint should be replaced, all at once. Also, when it is describe as right or left, which side does it mean, Drive or Pass
good job.
Great video, short and too the point! Do you have the torque specs btw?
Could the same thing happening to my 2008 Lancer?
Have problems with clunking noises
Thanks Eric my wife has one of these ill check to see how there riding to see if they replaced 👍🏻
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.
