I’m working on a 2015 Dodge Journey, trying to replace the control arms and have been stuck on trying to separate this control arm from the ball joint. I’ve beat the hell out of it with a hammer, heated it, hit it with half a bottle of wd-40 can’t get it to budge. Can’t buy anymore tools. Any suggestions?
Hello there. I’m posting in hopes that someone can give me a hand. I’m a Lyft driver who lives over on the west side of town near Zeeb rd. I have a broken control arm bushing that I’ve been working on trying to fix myself for days. I have it up on jack stands and the parts are arriving today. The problem is that I just don’t have the right tools. I’ve been trying to disassemble since Monday and can’t get past the sway bar links. I can’t take it to a shop because I just had to pay my rent which cleaned me out. I’m hoping someone more mechanically inclined can come give me a hand or even just lend me some tools.
EDIT: 2015, Dodge Journey. Looks for vice grip or angle grinder to help remove sway bar link.
