Remove the relevant wheel and then locate the position of the wishbones. Identify where they are secured and spray some lubricant or rust remover to make the bolt removal easier.

Before unscrewing the wishbones, place a support under the differential to prevent damage to other parts. Proceed to unscrew the bolts securing the wishbones and replace them with new ones, ensuring they are identical parts.

Reassemble everything by following the steps in reverse.

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.
