2004 Dodge Neon Control Arm Parts and Q&A
Q: How to Install the Control Arm and Its Related Components on 2004 Dodge Neon?
A: The first step is to put the lower control arm into the front suspension crossmember. Hold off on fully tightening the rear bolt attaching the lower control arm and frame rail, as well as the front bolt, before tucking the blown engine away. Without loading the lower control arm, tighten the rear bolt to 185 ft lbs and the front bolt to 125 ft lbs. Then, place the ball joint stud into the knuckle with the bolt hole fitting the notch and use a new pinch bolt and nut to tighten to 95 Nm (70 ft lbs). When servicing the appropriate lower control arm, add the engine torque strut. Place a washer on the main strut's upstanding bolt, slip the pencil strut onto the corner of the crossmember and vehicle ahead of the wheel and tighten the nut to a torque of 52 Nm (38 ft lbs). After that, place the drive-belt splash shield and fasten it to the body and front suspension crossmember and install any front fascia fasteners you removed. Attach the wheel house splash shield to the drive belt splash shield as well. Place the front ends of the stabilizer bar in position, clean the threads in the stabilizer bar link bolts and use Lock and Seal from Mopar or a similar product. Install one assembly on each side and while doing so, bolt the lower bushing onto the bottom of the stabilizer bar, move it through the inner link's bushing, down into the lower arm's bushing and end with the upper retainer/nut and bushing. Place the tire and wheel assembly, drop the vehicle and when required, position it on a platform hoist or alignment track to reach the stabilizer bar mounting bolts at curb height. At curb level, turn the link bolt inside each stabilizer bar while holding the upper retainer/nut with a wrench and reaching a tightening value of 29 Nm (22 ft lbs). Then, with the stabilizer bar loose again, secure the bolts till they reach 25 Nm (18 ft lbs) with a torque wrench and ensure wheel alignment when required.
