To detach the control arm, you need to remove the bolts that attach the rear of the control arm to the engine cradle and the pivot bolt and nut that attaches the front of the control arm to the engine cradle.

To remove the toe link, start by loosening the rear wheel lug nuts and raising the rear of the vehicle on jackstands.

During installation, follow the reverse of removal, tightening all fasteners to the torque specifications. Replace the control arm mounting bolts with new ones if recommended by the manufacturer. Use a new cotter pin on the balljoint stud nut and align the hole in the ball stud with the slots in the nut if necessary.

To remove the upper control arm, start by loosening the rear wheel lug nuts, raising the rear of the vehicle on jackstands, and removing the rear wheel. Unbolt the trailing arm bracket from the body and mark the position of the cam adjuster on the inner end of the upper control arm. Disconnect the ABS wiring from the upper control arm and support the lower control arm with a floor jack. Remove the through-bolt from each end of the upper control arm pivot and lift out the arm. For installation, loosely install the bolt at each end of the arm, align the adjuster marks, raise the lower control arm to simulate normal ride height, and tighten the fasteners to the specified torque. The remainder of the installation is the reverse of removal, and it's recommended to have the wheel alignment checked and adjusted if necessary.
