How to Install the Front Upper Control Arm on 2010 Dodge Challenger?

Question

Accepted Answer

Place the upper front arm between the control arm bracket and the body of the shock tower. Go ahead and put in the upper control arm mounting (flag) bolts (1) and set the flag on each bolt facing the outside and away from the wheel opening. Put the shock assembly (3) aside to open up space for adding the studs onto the holes in the shock tower (2) mounting area. Slide the upper ball joint stud (1) into the top hole of the knuckle and screw on the nut (4), tightening it by rotating the nut with a wrench, while keeping the stud in place with a hex wrench. Turn the bolts on the nut with a torque wrench, setting them at 47 Nm and another 90° turn (about 35 ft. lbs.). Hang the wheel speed sensor cable routing clip (2) at the brake tube bracket (3). Secure the tire and wheel put together (1) and tighten the nuts keeping them on (3) at 150 Nm (110 ft. lbs.) on normal models and 190 Nm (140 ft. lbs.) on police models. Lower the car to its curb position and bolt the nuts (2) to the upper part of the control arm mounting bolts (1) until you reach 75 Nm (55 ft. lbs.). Mount three nuts (2) on the shock front mount (4), fit them to the shock tower (3) and tighten them to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.). When you are installing the left upper control arm, make sure to insert the coolant recovery container. When installing the correct upper control arm, install the totally integrated power module (TIPM).
