In my previous video I mentioned it's bested to torque down your control arm bushing bolt AT RIDE HEIGHT. To do that you would use a jack to compress your shock and then torque the bolt. I didn't do that in this video and it wouldn't hurt. The GM procedure doesn't actually mention that as a step, and I have to say I've had no issues by forgetting that step.

Thanks Danial!! I would recommend doing all 4 arms at once, as soon as I did front forward arms the rears wore out quickly

Love all of your videos! Thanks! I noticed that you are using Quick Jacks, NICEEE! I just got some while they were on sale this Christmas. I got the 5000TL's with the hangers and pinch weld blocks and I was wondering which model you got.

Mine is 5000 TLX. I’m not sure the 5000 is long enough for the Cadillac?

Good video man. So I have an 2013 ATS, and I had to do the knuckle on the front of the car.(GM is kinda crazy, on the 2013 ATS the knuckle has an irreplaceable ball joint, so GM makes you replace the knuckle! Yeah don't get me started on GM and their infinite wisdom) So I figured I would do the knuckle, wheel bearing, both control arms and the sway bar links. Was a pretty straight forward job, and with all new parts pretty easy to put together. The CTS look so similiar to work on. So just wanted to ask you how you like the CTS? I'm looking for a newer Cadillac and was looking at the CTS and XTS. Do you have any idea how long the CTS will last mileage wise?

Thanks for watching, good to know about the ball joint. Definitely get the CTS over XTS. The CTS is a bit more sporty. Like a big ATS, XTS is a cushy Cadillac. The 3.6 engines generally need new timing cabins 100-130k miles. Haven’t heard of many engine failures this point.

You are the luckiest guy in the world... how do none of your ball joints need tools to separate after 85K miles? I had to beat the crap out of my knuckle every time with half those miles.

Jeff, I enjoy watching your Cts videos Bro I'm a Cts owner myself. You don't have to torgue that one down to ride height level like you did on the other control arm video? Because I'm ready to do mine and thanks brother for the torque specs , can't find them anywhere!

I have a 2018 AWD CTS, my front driver side creaks when I turn the steering wheel left and right. Would that be the lower control arm?

Sorry it’s very difficult to diagnose anything in suspension by description. Usually a tuning sound comes from the upper strut mounts. Go put your ear up there with the hood open while someone turns the wheel.

I know this is old... but I have the AWD CTS 4. 2014. The ball joint bolt is seized in the spindle. NOTHING works to get it out, outside of adding heat to the spindle. Ball joint removal tool, pickle fork, heavy hammer hitting... my car is in my garage on jack stands and I can't go any further. ANY help is appreciated.

That’s a tough situation to be in. Someone recommended using the torx hole at the end of the bolt and turning that while keeping the nut on. If yours has a torx hole you can try but I’m betting it will strip out. Impact took may be required. Last choice may be to replace the whole knuckle if you can’t separate. Not a great choice though.

I got a ATS 2.0 and the bushing is cracking already, I don’t have a torque wrench 🔧, doesn’t the ball join need grease on it or is it already in the ball joint itself??
@JetFuelOnly
Жыл бұрын
The grease is contained in the boot and around the joint inside. If the grease comes out the ball joint will eventually wear out

No but it’s a pretty standard outer tie rod. First search for Camaro or ATS, then if nothing you can probably get by with any generic how-to. It’s very simple. The most important part is to adjust it to the right length. You will likely need an alignment after.
