For this more complex job, you will need a ramp to work safely and comfortably. Once the car is raised, remove the wheel from the correct side to expose the area of interest.

First, remove the tie rod, then the component we are focusing on, which is the wishbone. Replace the old one with the new, slot it in, and secure it with the bolt.

Next, attach the wishbone to the tie rod and secure them together using the previously removed bolts. Once this is done, you can refit the wheel.

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.
