How to Replace the Suspension Arm of the Car

Model: Mazda 6 GG, MK 1 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Control arm

The suspension arm serves to connect the chassis to the struts. If it deforms or wears out, it will need to be replaced as a faulty arm can lead to a dangerous loss of control of the vehicle. This is not a very complicated job and can be done independently, saving some money. This guide shows you how to change it. Use a jack to lift the car. Remove the hubcap and take the wheel off the hub. Without making abrupt movements, detach the stabiliser link from the arm using two 14mm spanners. Once the joint is removed, you will find the suspension arm fixed with screws, ready to be removed.
