Disassembly and replacement of the Honda Civic's swing arm.

Model: Honda Civic MK 8 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Control arm

In this guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the control arm of the Honda Civic. First, let's lift the vehicle and start disassembling and removing the front wheel; then we will unscrew the nut and the counter-nut of the control arm, disconnecting it from the stabilizer bar. At this point, let's unscrew the screws of the brackets to remove them as well, thus removing the control arm; we will replace it with the new original one, also replacing the screws and bolts if necessary. In the same way, we will also replace the other control arm.
