  Q: How to Remove and Install the Lower Control Arm on Dodge Sprinter 2500?

  A:

  Put in spring blocks special tool 9288 to make space between the spring and spring clamp plates, with the vehicle on the ground and its front wheels attached. Next, raise and hold up the vehicle, remove the wheels and take out the front lower control arm. Following this, drop the caliper adapter out of the caliper and hang the caliper, with the help of a classic supports or hangers, so that the brake hose doesn't aid in its hanging. Unbolt the retaining nut from the tie rod and remove the tie rod from the Steering Knuckle using the special tool C-3894-A. Elevate the car when the jack is placed under the control arm and raise it about 10 millimeters. Open the bolts from the upper part of the knuckle that supports the strut. Take out the bolts that join the stop plate to the body and lift that plate up with the stabilizer link; after that, lower the lower control arm. Loosen the nut on the lower Ball Joint, then use tool 9282 to remove the ball joint from the knuckle. After that, get rid of the lower control arm nuts and bolts on the frame and remove the lower control arm. While installing, fix the lower arm to the top of the frame and hand-tighten all the bolts. Once again, increase tension in the strut by lifting the lower control arm using a jack, place the lower ball joint into the steering knuckle and tighten it to 280 Nm (206 ft. lbs.). Link the strut bolts to the steering knuckle and tighten them to 185 Nm (136 ft. lbs.). After that, install the stop plate and lay the control arm on the floor. Level the tie rod at the steering knuckle and tighten the special nut at 130 Nm (96 ft. lbs.). After that, join the front tire & wheel assembly along with the disc brake caliper adapter. Lift the vehicle to the floor and take out the spring blocks between the spring and the spring clamp plates when the wheels are on the floor. Relocate the chassis a millimeter forward and back, then give it a few strong changes in position and lastly tighten the lower nuts and bolts connecting the arm to the frame to 150 Nm (110 ft. lbs.). Use the brake pedal to apply a pressure from the brakes to the wheels.
