How to Install the Control Arm Assembly on Dodge Caravan?

Introduce the lower control arm assembly into the front suspension cradle crossmember, making sure each bushing is properly aligned. Attach a new pivot bolt to connect the front bushing of the lower control arm to the cradle crossmember, just seat the bolt at this point. After that, fasten the reinforcement to the front suspension cradle crossmember with bolts, torquing the M-14 bolts to 153 Nm (113 ft. lbs.) and the M-12 bolts to 106 Nm (78 ft. lbs.). Pass the lower control arm rear bushing retainer bolts through the reinforcement on each side of the rear bushing and tighten the M-10 size bolts to 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.). Install the two bolts and their associated bushings to link the reinforcement with the rear of the cradle crossmember to the vehicle body, tighten them to 163 Nm (120 ft. lbs.). Next, mount the power steering cooler and tighten its bolts to 11 Nm (100 in. lbs.). Refit the steering knuckle, brake rotor and caliper, making certain that jack stands are placed beneath the lower control arms to avoid involvement of the ball joints. Next, roll the vehicle down onto the jack stands until all its weight is resting on them, then tighten the front lower control arm pivot bolt to 183 Nm (135 ft. lbs.). Mount the wheel and tire assembly, tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in the prescribed order to half specification, then repeat that sequence to reach the full 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.) torque value. In the end, lift the vehicle off the jack stands, apply a second lowering stroke to set it firmly on the ground, then perform a front wheel alignment as required.

How to Remove and Replace the Control Arm on Dodge Caravan?

Loosen the wheel and tire, then support the vehicle on a jack and only after can you change or replace the control arm. Following this, get rid of the steering knuckle and the bolts that hold the power steering cooler against the front suspension crossmember. Remove the bolts securing each side's lower control arm rear bushing retainer, since the bolts holding the cradle crossmember reinforcement also have three different thread sizes. After that, take out the bolts connecting the reinforcing piece to the front cradle crossmember and the two bolts fastened to the rear of the cradle support on the frame, then remove the reinforcement. After that, take out the pivot bolt connecting the lower control arm's front bushing to the front suspension cradle crossmember and release the lower control arm from its position.

Dodge Caravan automobiles' Control Arm is a structural component of the car that connects the suspended structure of the automobile to the wheels to enable movement of the suspension system. This component rotates on its axis with the change of road conditions, and the wheels of the car can perform vertical motion while providing the necessary orientation. Original and Dodge Caravan control arms most commonly come equipped with bushings for connection to the frame as well as ball joints for the connection to the wheel assembly to guarantee stability and handling, respectively. A number of changing trends in Dodge Caravan control arms have been highlighted in the following years, the initial arms were usually made from stamped steel, however, new generations of these arms are made from cast iron or aluminum because of increased strength and low weight. Aluminium stamping used in control arms are known to rust and can also fail while newer healthier materials are available today. There are also control arms for performance-oriented cars, since these components are subjected to greater stress, these modifications include, for example, widened tires, or vehicle height changes, to provide the optimal possible handling and safety.
