Do you have a video for the rear upper rearward control arms?

[mitchellobrien]

Would a lower lateral link possibly cause camber? Both of my rear tires are cambered out(on the bottom) and I can’t figure it out

Same exact car color and everything. I bought it second hand and I definitely have some “construction” to do. @ 243k right now and the clinking is there when I’m going about 5-10 mph. So embarrassing when leaving the apartment complex😬. Coming from the rear and super duper wear in the tires in the front to the point where the used tire spot knows me and my car now.. can you please list some suspension parts to replace and also when I’m trying to accelerate quickly to catch up to traffic it has a tendency tone super high before switching to next gear. Should I look into replacing torque converter or just change fluid regularly or is this a timing belt type of deal?

Good video up till minute 12:45. You forgot to add the eccentric washer under the nut and lock washer. One cam washer is built into the bolt under the hex head, the other end is loose and keys into the bolt so when you turn the hex it rotates both washers. I just finished doing both links on a 2010 Elantra. Had to plasma cut the old bolts out and replace them with new. Too much rust.

Lots of good tips in here. What brand of penetrant did you use in this case?

[jimmyalvarez]

Anyone know what the rear bolts called? Had to cut mine but local stores dont carry the replacemnt

[Scottsudz]

Thanks for the video ! What size pickle fork did you use to separate the ball joint?

[bubbarosebush]

How do you remove trailing arm there is no video at all, i don't know if mine is right

[MovingChi]

Can you do a video on replacing the rear trailing arm in 2010 Hyundai Elantra?

[QaisarNazar]

Can you do me a favor please i want to know the member of the part of 2008 hyundai elantra camber bolt I can't find it !!

[TheOutwiththeold]

have new on hand .... i got to do my 09 sonata, I ordered 145.00 worth of bolts... omg..

[PyroTecment]

Where did you order the bolt from? I can't find it on your website and I bought your Lateral links and my bolt snapped

[brentchalmers]

...at 8:04 you removed an eccentric washer. At 12:22 you neglected to replace that particular eccentric adjustment washer. Does that eccentric washer that you removed have anything to do with rear wheel camber adjustment? Thanks for the video.

This elantra must be brand new by now. Dec. 2021

I had a much easier time cutting the bolts out with a reciprocating saw and a carbide blade.

Stuck bolt fuck heat. Use candle wax never fails
