Instructions for Dismantling the Suspension Wishbone

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Control arm

The video shows the catastrophic failure of the suspension wishbone caused by the front wheel collision, which also damaged the wheel rim, the steering rack tie rod, and caused the driveshaft to pop out. To dismantle the wishbone, first remove the ball joint from the hub support, then move on to the other two ends of the wishbone secured to the engine cradle and the vehicle chassis via a bush that integrates a silent block rubber. Once all the pins are removed, you can extract the wishbone from its seat.
