Part: Control arm

Loosen the bolts of the affected wheel. Lift the car with a ramp, if you have one, or with a jack. Unscrew the bolts completely and remove them. Using a wire brush and WD-40 spray, clean the joints of the wishbone. Wear safety glasses and a mask. Unscrew the pin that secures the ball joint. Remove the fixing bolts and the front fixing piece. Then unscrew the rear fixing elements that connect the wishbone to the subframe. Now, with a hammer and your preferred tool, you can slide the wishbone out of its seat. Reverse the process to install the new wishbone.
