The suspension arm of the car connects the chassis to the struts. When it deforms or wears out, it can be dangerous as it may lead to a hazardous loss of vehicle control.

Replacing it is not a very complicated task, and doing it yourself can save you some money. Start by raising the car and removing the hubcap and wheel.

Next, disconnect the stabiliser link from the arm gently, using two 14mm spanners. Once the joint is removed, the suspension arm will be right in front of you, secured with bolts.
