How to Replace the Wishbone on My Alfa Romeo 159?

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Control arm

Wishbones are components subjected to significant stress and can wear out frequently. To replace the wishbone on your Alfa Romeo 159, first, open the bonnet and undo the suspension bolts. Next, remove the wheel bolts and lift the vehicle. At this point, remove the bolts to completely detach the suspension. Using a hydraulic jack, support the brake disc and proceed to disconnect and separate the arm by undoing the bolts. Then, use a lever to extract the wishbone and fit the new one. Clean the area thoroughly before reassembling everything in reverse order.
