How to remove the upper control arm on GMC Sonoma?

To remove the upper control arm, start by loosening the wheel lug nuts and raising the front of the vehicle on jackstands. Support the vehicle securely and remove the wheel. Position a floor jack with a wood block under the lower control arm to relieve spring pressure on the upper control arm. Remove the air cleaner extension if necessary, and disconnect the brake hose bracket and ABS wheel speed sensor from the upper control arm. Disconnect the upper balljoint from the steering knuckle. On 2WD models, remove the pivot shaft nuts, bolts, and shims, noting their location. On 4WD models, mark the positions of the adjuster cams to the frame. Remove the upper control arm pivot bolts and nuts, and inspect the pivot bolt bushings for wear. Replace if necessary. To install the upper control arm, position it in the frame brackets and install the bolts and nuts, ensuring they are facing each other. Do not tighten completely. Attach the balljoint to the steering knuckle and connect the brake hose bracket. Install the wheel and lower the vehicle. Tighten the lug nuts and pivot bolt nuts to the proper specifications. Finally, install the air cleaner extension if it was removed.

GMC Sonoma Control Arm

The Control Arm of GMC Sonama cars deals with the connection between the frame or chassis of the car with the wheels besides handling other suspension parts like the shocks and the springs. These arms turn in relation to the road state information and enable the wheels to be either raised or lowered. Depending on the suspension design, there are many forms of Control Arms, in terms of their shape and construction. Whereas at one time control arms for Sonoma were of stamped steel, stronger cast iron or aluminum Control Arms are now used on newer models. These are some of the components that are strong, but due to general wear and tear on bushings as well as ball joints, they may call for maintenance occasionally. Throughout the parts, the Control Arms are provided for high-speed driving or modified cars since they provide increased strength and alignment.

Each OEM GMC Sonoma Control Arm we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
