The necessary tools are a ratchet wrench, a set of combination wrenches, a puller, and various pliers. Lift the vehicle on a lift and remove the wheel to access the mechanics.

Once the defective control arm is identified, proceed with removal by unscrewing all the bolts and extracting the pins from the steering assembly. Use the puller and a punch to remove the bolts from their seats after thoroughly spraying them with penetrating oil. Remove the control arms from the engine side by unscrewing the retaining nut. Replace the rubber boot and insert the new one into the control arm using the appropriate installer.

Reassemble the control arm and the rest of the mechanics that were previously removed.
