Position the car on a level surface and lift it using a jack at the front left position. Remove the wheel.

Locate the control arm and, if necessary, spray some penetrating oil on the bolts that secure it. To remove the bolt head, you need to take off a piece of plastic protection inside the fender, which makes the disassembly challenging. Use the appropriate wrench to remove the bolt that connects the control arm to the wheel.

Tap the control arm from its position with a hammer. Now, remove the bolt that secures the control arm head using the appropriate wrench.

Again, to free it from this position, you need to remove the plastic protection inside the fender. At this point, extract the control arm and replace it with the new one. For reassembly, follow all the steps in reverse order.

The replacement was done on a BMW 3 Series.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
