When proceeding to dismantle the control arm, it is necessary to slightly loosen the wheel lug nuts of the side to be removed, then lift the car with a jack and fix it on supports, and finally, take off the wheel. Subsequent to that, remove the nut on the control arm which holds the stabilizer bar link in place before removing the
Ball Joint from the control arm. First, unscrew the front pivot bolt nut or bolt that is secured to the control arm gusset, then take out the rear bushing clamp bolts to remove the control arm. If it is required, unbolt and take off the lower arm gussets which are simply fixed to the frame by five bolts, and take them off the car. For disassembly, for front/rear bushings crack/tear, replace the damaged one and then using the press for bushing to be inserted into the control arm. Check that the control arm is not bent and replace the control arm if it is bent and the same applies for the control arm gusset. For removal, if the control arm gussets were removed, before leaving the job install them and snug the bolts to the appropriate torque in the sequence shown. The process of installation is quite the opposite of the process of their removal, after the onstructions to ensure that certain torsion is reached to the necessary bolt fasteners and a new cotter pin passed through balljoint stud. Lastly, place the wheel back on, lower the car and then finally, non powerfully tighten the lug nuts to the appropriate torque.
