How to Install a Chevy Cavalier & Pontiac Sunfire Control Arm

Today we have a Pontiac Sunfire that may or may not have seen more air time than we want to admit.  Much to our surprise, it continues to impress us with its never ending survival strategies.  Sure we have to throw a few parts at it from time to time, but that’s what happens when you pretend your Sunfire is Ferrari-built Baja vehicle.  It may not look the part, but I can assure you that deep within this vehicle is the heart of a hostile jellyfish and the soul of 1000 wild turkeys.

On this specific Sunfire (which is the really the same as a Chevy Cavalier), the rear control arm bushings were completely gone, in the physical sense.  This made driving extremely scary, especially while steering and braking because the car would dart in the direction that you least expect.  Just when you think you have the Sunfire figured out, it throws a curve ball at you and leaves you trembling in your tastefully upholstered cloth driver’s seat.  In this video, we take the unintended roller coaster ride out of this very saucy Sunfire.
