Replacement of Front Suspension Wishbone

Model: Hyundai Santa Fe MK 2 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Control arm

The front suspension wishbone has a triangular shape, with one end housing the ball joint for the hub support and the other two ends for anchoring to the subframe; to replace it, lift the vehicle, remove the front wheel, and detach the fixing bolts. Once the old wishbone is removed, insert the new one and tighten the fixing bolts securely. Consider replacing both wishbones, as it is always advisable to ensure maximum symmetry on the front end, especially regarding suspensions.
