How to Replace Front Forward, Rearward Control Arms on a 2011–2017 Dodge Charger — DIY Guide

In this video, I show you how to remove and replace the front lower forward, and rearward control arms on a 2017 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T 5.7L V8. This guide also applies to Dodge Charger models from 2011–2017, including R/T, SXT, SE, and other trims with similar suspension setups. I walk through the tools you’ll need, how to safely lift the vehicle, remove the worn control arms, install the new ones, and properly tighten everything. Symptoms of a bad lower control arm include: Clunking or knocking noises when driving over bumps Steering instability or pulling to one side Uneven or accelerated tire wear Excessive vibration in the steering wheel Loose, sloppy, or vague steering Poor handling or wandering at highway speeds If your Charger feels unstable or you’re hearing suspension noises, this tutorial will help you diagnose the issue and replace your lower control arms correctly.
