If you need to replace the upper control arm of the suspension, you must find a way to manage it because the mounting nut for the arm's pivot falls inside the body frame. Therefore, during reassembly, it is not easy to keep it in position while inserting the pivot into the arm's bushing.

A very practical solution is to tape the nut to the wrench with masking tape, which, once the pivot is threaded in, will easily tear away, allowing for the nut to be secured and the wrench to be removed without any difficulty.
