Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
All right, so we're going to take the tire off. On most Volkswagens there's little caps that go over these lugs. And the caps, you're going to need the tool from the spare tire kit. You will put in and grab, it's like a hook, and you'll pull the cap out. But this vehicle does not have those on currently. So we're just going to loosen up the lugs with a 17mm socket and a breaker bar. One at a time, just a little bit.
The reason I'm jacking this vehicle, you're not going to want to use a jack or jack stands on here on the control arms or on this aluminum because you may break the aluminum. Or there. Some places you can jack up from, just over here where the pinch weld is. On this Volkswagen you can see there is specific spots where you're supposed to jack the vehicle or support the vehicle. These little arrows indicate that. And right on the pinch weld is the strongest part to be jacking and supporting. Same over here. This side. This little arrow pointing down. This one looks like it got smashed a little bit.
So we're going to take off the lugs. Volkswagen has lug bolts, not lug nuts, or lug studs. So you need to be careful when pulling off the wheel. Then you grab the wheel and set it down. Next, we're going to separate the ball joint from the control arm. We're going to use the 16mm deep socket and the extension and a ratchet. All right, we're going to loosen up the upper ball joint nut. It's an 18MM wrench. Now we're going to use a pry bar. Try to separate the ball joint from the knuckle.
If you're struggling, sometimes a fork will help get the ball joint out, especially if you're not going to reuse it, because it will probably mess up the rubber boot. So, because the ball joint, if you can see the whole stud is spinning, we're going to need to use some locking pliers at the base, to hold it. And that's loose enough. Should be able to do it with your fingers. It came out. And then pull the lower control arm, and we can pull it out.
This is our old part, this is our new part from 1Aauto.com. As you can see it comes with the nut. There is this cover that covers the boot, that's just to protect it during shipping. You want to make sure you take that off, otherwise you're going to have a very hard time getting this on. But as you can see, they look similar. They have the same studs. And there is an additional Allen. The old one has it too. If you were struggling to take the nut off like we were you can use an Allen. You will have to take the axle out to get access to this, but that would make it easier if you were in a jam like we were.
Take our ball joint and line the stud up. We're going to take our 18mm nut, get it started. Tighten it up with our 18mm wrench. If this stud ends up spinning, take notice while you're tightening it up, you can put a jack underneath the ball and push up on it, and that will put pressure on it so that it will stay locked and be easier to tighten. In this case, ours did not spin so we were good. Put the nuts on. We're going to use a torque wrench and these nuts have to be torqued.
Now we're going to install the tire. Line it up with the holes and hold it, and we'll use our 17mm socket to put our lug studs on. Or lug bolts. Whatever you want to call it. Put our center cap on. Now we're going to torque the lug studs to 120 newton meters, in a star pattern. When you do it in a star pattern it makes the wheel go flush to the brake rotor properly.
Whenever you change front end components or remove front end components and reinstall them, you always want to go to a local garage and have an alignment performed, because you are going to change the geometry of the wheel and tire going down the road, and you do not want premature wear on your tires. So you want to make sure you do that, and you'll be all set.

One at a time, just a little bit. Raising and jacking this vehicle.
You're not going to want to use a jack or jack stands on here, on the control arms or on this aluminum, because you may break the aluminum over there. Some places you can jack up from is over here where the pinch weld is. On this Volkswagen you can see there is specific spots where you're supposed to jack the vehicle or support the vehicle. These little arrows indicate that and right on the pinch weld is the strongest part for jacking and supporting. The same over here, this side. There's a little arrow pointing down. This one looks like it got smashed a little bit.
We're going to take off the lugs. Volkswagen has lug bolts not lug nuts or lug studs. We need to be careful in pulling off the wheel. And then you grab the wheel. It comes right down.
We're going to take off these lower control arm bolts, these two with our 16mm. We're going to use a socket, a 16mm socket and extension and a ratchet. On this bolt, I'm going to take out an 18mm and use a socket and extension and a ratchet. All right, next we're going to separate the ball joint from the control arm. We're going to use a 16mm deep socket and extension and a ratchet. Next, we're going to take this bolt out with an 18mm. I'm going to use a socket and a ratchet. I am going to put one nut here so that the control arm doesn't fall while I'm loosening this last bolt. Now I'm going to use a pry bar to go in between here to separate the control arm from the body. And I'll pull that nut back out. Pull the control arm down.
Here's your old control arm. Here's your new control arm from 1AAuto.com. As you can see, the actual design of it is very similar. There is some differences. This actually looks a little more solid than this—less likely to bend. It does comes with new nuts, as you can see. But the overall design looks very similar and it is machined the same.
Now I'm going to reinstall our control arm. I'm going to start with the front bolt. Put the nuts on. I'm going to put our other control arm bolt in. You may have to move the control arm a little bit to get the holes to line up. And I'm going to use the socket and extension, 16mm, and a ratchet. This front bolt, we're going to want to torque to 70 newton meters and it clicks. All right, we're going to use a torque wrench and these nuts are to be torqued to 16 newton meters.
Now I'm going to install the tire. Line up with the holes and hold and we'll use our 17mm socket to put our lug studs on or lug bolts, whatever you want to call it. Put our center cap on. Now we're going to torque the lug studs to 120 newton meters in a star pattern. When you do it in a star pattern, it makes the wheel go flush to the brake rotor properly.

As good as OEM
Fit like the original parts without modification. Alignment was almost unchanged (I would advise realignment after replacing such parts). I've driven almost 2000 miles since the install and I'm still very happy with these parts.
