The suspension arm connects the chassis to the struts. When it is faulty, it needs to be replaced.

This is not a very complicated job and can be done independently, saving some money. First, lift the car and locate the arm to be replaced.

Remove the wheel cover and unscrew the bolts using the appropriate spanner. Next, disconnect the stabiliser bar with two 14mm spanners.

After removing the joint, the suspension arm will be right in front of you, ready to be pulled out after unscrewing all the screws that hold it in place.

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.
