How to Remove the Front Suspension Wishbone of a Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Control arm

Learn how to remove the front suspension wishbone of a Fiat 500. First, place the car on a column lift and loosen the wheel nuts with a telescopic spanner, then lift the car to your preferred height and remove the wheel. Now, go underneath the car and use a socket wrench to undo the securing bolt of the wishbone and the bolt mounted under the wheel hub. Undo the bolts on the upper part of the wishbone (as shown in the video) and the plate secured to the car's body. Remove the wishbone from the pin housing with the help of a pry bar, undo the last bolt, and tap the wishbone with a hammer to pull it out. Now that the wishbone is removed, obtain a new one, compare it with the old one, and if it fits, perform the reverse installation.
