Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and remove the front wheel; then remove the link that connects the anti-roll bar to the suspension; next, remove the fixing nut of the wishbone ball joint from the wheel hub (give a few taps with a hammer on the ball joint seat to free it for extraction); then proceed to remove the fixing bolts of the wishbone to the chassis and engine cradle.

Install the new wishbone by first placing it in its seat and then inserting the ball joint and rear bushes into their respective seats.

Tighten the fixing bolts securely.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
