The suspension arm of the car connects the chassis to the struts. However, it can wear out over time or due to impacts, and a faulty arm can lead to a loss of vehicle control.

Replacing it yourself is not overly complicated and can save you a considerable amount of money. The following guide shows you how to do it. Lift the car with a jack, then remove the wheel by unscrewing the bolts.

Disconnect the stabiliser link from the arm using two spanners. The arm, which is in front of you, is secured with bolts; once these are removed, it can be replaced.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
