The suspension arm of your car connects the chassis to the struts. If it bends or wears out, it must be replaced as it could lead to loss of vehicle control.

This is not a very complicated job to do on your own. This guide shows you how to do it. You will need to lift the car with a jack and then remove the wheel from the hub. Next, disconnect the stabilizer link from the arm without making any sudden movements.

You will need two 14mm wrenches for this.

Once the joint is removed, simply take out the bolts that hold the suspension arm in place to remove it.
