If the vehicle is stiff and has dropped on the rear side, the problem is likely due to the torsion bar or its support, so obtain the replacement parts and proceed with the replacement. Lift the vehicle, secure it, and remove the wheel.

To dismantle the link that maintains tension on the bar, it is necessary to lift the wheel with a hydraulic jack or another safe method to relieve the tension on the bar, allowing you to unscrew the bolts that secure the link. While keeping the vehicle in this position, install the new arm, ensuring to grease the joints.
