If the suspension arm of your car is deformed or worn, possibly due to an impact, it needs to be replaced to avoid a dangerous loss of control. This is not a very complicated task and can be done independently, saving some money.

The first step is to lift the car. Then, remove the wheel cover and take out the wheel. Next, disconnect the stabiliser bar using two 14mm spanners.

After removing the joint, the suspension arm will be right in front of you, secured with screws that need to be unscrewed to extract it.
