Replacement of the Rear Suspension Arm

Model: Hyundai Elantra XD, MK 3 - Years 2000-2006
Part: Control arm

Replacing the rear suspension arm is very simple as there is no need to disassemble any other components apart from the arm's fixings. Lift the vehicle on the ramp and locate the seat of the rear suspension arm. Then, proceed to unscrew the fastening nut of the ball joint and the bolt fastening the bush at the other end of the arm. Once the nut and bolt are removed, you can take out the arm from its seat and proceed in reverse for the installation of the new one, ensuring to tighten the nut and bolt.
