Replacing and Changing the Wishbones of a Vehicle

Model: Honda CR-V MK 3 - Years 2007-2012
Part: Control arm

In this tutorial, describe how to remove worn wishbones and replace them with new ones. Before starting, lift the vehicle on a ramp and spray the worn and rusty nuts of the wishbones with WD-40. Then, hold the other end of the wishbone steady and use a ratchet spanner to undo the bolts of the first wishbone. You will immediately notice that the rubber that absorbs shocks is completely worn out. Now move on to the other wishbone and repeat the same operation as before. After that, refit both wishbones and tighten them manually to keep them secure, ensuring good safety on the road.
