- Q: How do you remove the control arm?A: Start by loosening the wheel lug nuts on the side where the control arm is to be removed. To begin, loosen the lug nuts of the wheel that you are disassembling and apply parking brake. You may now lift front part of your vehicle off ground using jacks then take off its wheel. Afterward, pull it out from the Steering Knuckle and pry apart its ball joint and then remove pinch bolt that holds balljoint on control arm. Then remove bolts holding control arm to subframe, and finally remove control arm itself. Check control arms for distortion and bushings for wear; replace necessary parts.

If any cracks are found or wear signs are observed in busings, take the entire assembly to your local automotive machine shop where they will have bushings replaced with new ones. As for installing control arm, perform removal procedure in reverse order while ensuring all fasteners are torqued properly.
