How to Change the Control Arm on a Mazda 6

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

As you may already know, cars can start to lose performance over time, especially the control arms. But don't worry, in this video, we will see how to change them effectively. Remove the tyre and lift the car on a ramp. Slightly unscrew the bolt that connects the wishbone to the control arm. Spray some lubricant if it is difficult to unscrew the pin. Once you manage to unscrew it, use a hammer to strike decisively on the affected area. Position the appropriate extractor between the two rubber bushes and hit firmly to release the upper part of the arm. Once the wishbone is removed, you can move on to the control arm located in front of the shock absorbers. There are bolts inside the arm that you will remove with a ratchet spanner. Once the control arm is removed, you can proceed to install the new one by reversing the steps taken so far.
