The suspension arm of the car connects the chassis to the struts, but it can wear out or deform after an impact, leading to a dangerous loss of vehicle control. This is not a very complicated job and can be done independently, saving on mechanic costs.

The guide shows how to replace it. First, lift the car with a jack, loosen the bolts and remove the wheel from the hub. Then detach the stabiliser link from the arm, taking care not to break it. Once the joint is removed, the suspension arm will be in front of you, fixed with screws and ready to be removed.

Once the issue has been physically addressed, connect a diagnostic tool to the vehicle's OBD port located under the steering column. This will allow you to clear the errors in the ECU, turning off the EDC light.
