Removal and Replacement of Control Arm

Model: Dodge Caliber MK 1 - Years: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012
Part: Control arm

Video tutorial

This video shows how to remove and replace the control arm on your car. When driving on bumpy roads or uneven surfaces and you hear a strange noise from the front of the car near the shock absorbers, it is likely that one or both control arms need replacing as the ball joints have worn out. In this case, raise the car on a ramp, remove the nut behind the brake disc that secures the control arm, and pull it out from its mounting point.

Once extracted, to replace the end part including the ball joint, simply unscrew it counterclockwise and install a new one.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
