Replacing the Wishbone on a Fiat Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 1, 176 - Years 1993-1999
Part: Control arm

This guide covers the removal of the wishbone on a Fiat Punto. Lift the car using a suitable jack, then remove the front wheel. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the lower securing bolt of the wishbone and the bolt mounted under the wheel hub, then unscrew the bolts on the upper part of the arm as shown in the video. Remove the wishbone from the bolt seats using a pry bar. Fit the new part: insert the wishbone into the two ends of the guides and start tightening all the bolts on the threads shown in the video (attach the wishbone to the wheel hub and the other end to the chassis). Refit the wheel after assembly.
