The suspension arm of a car can become deformed due to an impact or wear over time. If this happens, it is absolutely necessary to replace it, as a defective arm can lead to loss of vehicle control.

This is not a complicated job and can be done independently, saving some money. The following guide shows how to proceed.

You will need to lift the car with a jack and remove the wheel from the hub. Next, carefully disconnect the stabilizer link from the arm. You will then have the suspension arm in front of you, secured with bolts that need to be removed.
