Learn how to replace the ENTIRE front suspension of your car in this two episode series. First I will show you how to remove the wheel bearing, ball joints, control arms, tie rod, strut, and axle.
The ball joint and wheel bearing has to be pressed out of the knuckle and I have a bunch of tips and tricks to make that easy. The upper control arm ball joint and tie rod can get stuck in the knuckle so I show some tricks on how to easily remove that. The rest of the suspension parts are pretty simple to remove and replace.

Update: I rebuilt my front suspension and installed it myself. And Dude, I totally feel what you mean by feeling like a brand new car! I learned how to do it all thanks to your videos. Thank you!
Let me tell you that this is not as easy as it looks. Doable but not easy. I did this on my 2015 infiniti q50. And the passenger lower control arm was a mission to take off. But the good news is that I saved money 💰.
This stuff is pretty much impossible if you don’t have a house with a garage filled with random shit like a saw and block of fucking wood
Lets say I drifted my car right into a curb, and my tie rod might not be the correct size. What to do then?
Does this process have any significant differences if you have torsion bar springs on the front end instead of coil springs?
