A worn suspension arm must be replaced to avoid a dangerous loss of vehicle control. It is not a very complicated job and can be done alone, without the help of a mechanic.

The arm connects the frame to the struts. First, lift the car, remove the hubcap, and unscrew all the bolts.

Without making sudden movements, detach the stabilizer link using two 14mm wrenches. You can then extract it. After removing the joint, the arm will be in front of you, secured with screws that need to be removed.
