How to Install the Front Lower Control Arm on Dodge Challenger?

If your car's engine cradle bolt can be used for wheel alignment, be sure to reinstall it where it came out. Adjust the lower control arm into its assigned place in the engine cradle and put in the rearmost mounting bolt. Fit the nut onto the cradle bolt on the lower control arm, but don't tighten it now. Make sure to measure the height of the ball joint seal boot on the knuckle before fitting it to the lower control arm and if it's over 25.5 mm, expel any air stuck in the boot by first tilting the ball joint stud to one edge and then gently squeezing the middle of the seal, pressing the top area and returning it to a centered position. Take care to wipe away any grease from the ball joint stud, then lower the knuckle and put the ball joint stud into the lower control arm, lining them up as you do so. Put a new nut onto the ball joint stud and attach the lower control arm to the knuckle; use a crowfoot wrench and torque wrench to tighten it to 68 Nm plus 90° turns. Secure the wheel speed sensor head onto the knuckle, using a tightened mounting screw, turned with 11 Nm of torque. Secure the wheel speed sensor cable and routing clip to the bracket for the brake flex hose. Put the lower shock mounting bolt into place to secure the shock assembly to the lower control arm, making sure it isn't tightened yet. Mount the tire and wheel assembly, tightening the wheel bolts to 150 Nm (or 190 Nm for police cars) and afterward lower the car. Be especially careful when driving the vehicle to the rack since the stabilizer bar at the cradle is not attached. Place the vehicle on the alignment rack and, while it is there, tighten the lower shock mounting bolt to 174 Nm. Do the wheel alignment and if the control arm engine cradle bolt is a wheel alignment bolt, tighten only the nut and do not rotate the bolt head to not damage the bushing. When the camber is correct, tighten the bolt at the lower control arm cradle to 176 Nm, making sure to not move the bolt while doing this. Slide the bushing through the collar and then locate it, making sure the slit is pointing rearwards on the vehicle. Put the stabilizer bar bushing retainer halves in place around the bushing and tighten the securing bolts to 60 Nm. Put the stabilizer bar heat shield on top of the stabilizer bar bushing retainer, fit and apply the mounting screws and finally attach the belly pan.

How to Service and Repair the Control Arm on Dodge Charger?

Raise the rear-wheel drive vehicle and place supports underneath it. Afterward, eliminate the wheel mounting nuts and take out the tire and wheel assembly. After that, remove the belly pan and unscrew the heat shield on the stabilizer bar off the control arm. Disconnect the stabilizer bar bushing retainer using the bolts and take both halves off the stabilizer bar. Pass the slit tool into the center of the stabilizer bar to remove the bushing. To get access, first remove the wheel (if required), then exposes the casting bolt through the bushing removal opening and take care not to rotate the adjustment bolt if it has a grooved shaft going down its center. Get rid of the lower control arm bolt attached to the engine cradle while paying close attention to how it was arranged for when you put it back. Pull off the screw joining the shock assembly to the arm, remove the screw securing the wheel sensor to the knuckle and remove the sensor from the knuckle. Take away the wheel speed sensor cable routing clip mounted to the brake flex hose routing bracket. Unscrew the nut holding the ball joint stud to the control arm so the stud end level with the nut, to prevent any bending when rotating the stud. Use Special Tool 9360 to get the ball joint stud off the lower control arm, withdraw the nut from the ball joint stud and push down on the knuckle to get the stud out. In the end, slide the lower control arm out from the engine cradle. To do the installation, insert the lower control arm into its place in the engine cradle and put the rear mounting bolt in place with a nut, but don't tighten it up yet. Look at the ball joint seal boot's height and get rid of any air that's there if needed. Place the knuckle over the ball joint stud and then position it in the lower control arm, adding a new nut and turning it until 68 Nm and an extra 90° of rotation. Attach the wheel speed sensor head with a screw after reinstalling it and next, add the wheel speed sensor cable routing clip. Put in the lower part of the shock bolt but don't tighten, then set the tire and wheel back in, fastening the wheel nuts to the mentioned tightness. Raise the car from jack stands, lower the vehicle, place it on the alignment rack and tighten the lower shock mounting bolt to 174 Nm. Standardize the car's wheel alignment and use only the nut on the control arm engine cradle bolt, without rotating the bolt head. When the camber meets the needed specification, tighten the lower control arm cradle bolt nut to 176 Nm while keeping the bolt stationary. First, put the slit on the bushing nearest the back of your car against the locating collar on the stabilizer bar. After that, secure the retainer halves and tighten the bolts to 60 Nm. Cover the stabilizer bar with the heat shield and put on the belly pan as well.

Dodge Control Arm Parts and Q&A

Lower Control Arm, Front
68002123AC
Q: How to Install the Front Lower Control Arm on Dodge Challenger?
A:
If your car's engine cradle bolt can be used for wheel alignment, be sure to reinstall it where it came out. Adjust the lower control arm into its assigned place in the engine cradle and put in the rearmost mounting bolt. Fit the nut onto the cradle bolt on the lower control arm, but don't tighten it now. Make sure to measure the height of the ball joint seal boot on the knuckle before fitting it to the lower control arm and if it's over 25.5 mm, expel any air stuck in the boot by first tilting the ball joint stud to one edge and then gently squeezing the middle of the seal, pressing the top area and returning it to a centered position. Take care to wipe away any grease from the ball joint stud, then lower the knuckle and put the ball joint stud into the lower control arm, lining them up as you do so. Put a new nut onto the ball joint stud and attach the lower control arm to the knuckle; use a crowfoot wrench and torque wrench to tighten it to 68 Nm plus 90° turns. Secure the wheel speed sensor head onto the knuckle, using a tightened mounting screw, turned with 11 Nm of torque. Secure the wheel speed sensor cable and routing clip to the bracket for the brake flex hose. Put the lower shock mounting bolt into place to secure the shock assembly to the lower control arm, making sure it isn't tightened yet. Mount the tire and wheel assembly, tightening the wheel bolts to 150 Nm (or 190 Nm for police cars) and afterward lower the car. Be especially careful when driving the vehicle to the rack since the stabilizer bar at the cradle is not attached. Place the vehicle on the alignment rack and, while it is there, tighten the lower shock mounting bolt to 174 Nm. Do the wheel alignment and if the control arm engine cradle bolt is a wheel alignment bolt, tighten only the nut and do not rotate the bolt head to not damage the bushing. When the camber is correct, tighten the bolt at the lower control arm cradle to 176 Nm, making sure to not move the bolt while doing this. Slide the bushing through the collar and then locate it, making sure the slit is pointing rearwards on the vehicle. Put the stabilizer bar bushing retainer halves in place around the bushing and tighten the securing bolts to 60 Nm. Put the stabilizer bar heat shield on top of the stabilizer bar bushing retainer, fit and apply the mounting screws and finally attach the belly pan.
Upper Control Arm, Front Driver Side, Steel
4782665AB
Q: How to Service and Repair the Control Arm on Dodge Charger?
A:
Raise the rear-wheel drive vehicle and place supports underneath it. Afterward, eliminate the wheel mounting nuts and take out the tire and wheel assembly. After that, remove the belly pan and unscrew the heat shield on the stabilizer bar off the control arm. Disconnect the stabilizer bar bushing retainer using the bolts and take both halves off the stabilizer bar. Pass the slit tool into the center of the stabilizer bar to remove the bushing. To get access, first remove the wheel (if required), then exposes the casting bolt through the bushing removal opening and take care not to rotate the adjustment bolt if it has a grooved shaft going down its center. Get rid of the lower control arm bolt attached to the engine cradle while paying close attention to how it was arranged for when you put it back. Pull off the screw joining the shock assembly to the arm, remove the screw securing the wheel sensor to the knuckle and remove the sensor from the knuckle. Take away the wheel speed sensor cable routing clip mounted to the brake flex hose routing bracket. Unscrew the nut holding the ball joint stud to the control arm so the stud end level with the nut, to prevent any bending when rotating the stud. Use Special Tool 9360 to get the ball joint stud off the lower control arm, withdraw the nut from the ball joint stud and push down on the knuckle to get the stud out. In the end, slide the lower control arm out from the engine cradle. To do the installation, insert the lower control arm into its place in the engine cradle and put the rear mounting bolt in place with a nut, but don't tighten it up yet. Look at the ball joint seal boot's height and get rid of any air that's there if needed. Place the knuckle over the ball joint stud and then position it in the lower control arm, adding a new nut and turning it until 68 Nm and an extra 90° of rotation. Attach the wheel speed sensor head with a screw after reinstalling it and next, add the wheel speed sensor cable routing clip. Put in the lower part of the shock bolt but don't tighten, then set the tire and wheel back in, fastening the wheel nuts to the mentioned tightness. Raise the car from jack stands, lower the vehicle, place it on the alignment rack and tighten the lower shock mounting bolt to 174 Nm. Standardize the car's wheel alignment and use only the nut on the control arm engine cradle bolt, without rotating the bolt head. When the camber meets the needed specification, tighten the lower control arm cradle bolt nut to 176 Nm while keeping the bolt stationary. First, put the slit on the bushing nearest the back of your car against the locating collar on the stabilizer bar. After that, secure the retainer halves and tighten the bolts to 60 Nm. Cover the stabilizer bar with the heat shield and put on the belly pan as well.
