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.

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.
