The rear suspension control arm consists of a bushing with a silent block attached via a pin to the rear axle, while the other end has a ball joint connected to the hub support. To replace it, lift the vehicle on suitable jack stands, placing two under the axle to support the suspension.

You can actually avoid removing the wheel, but in any case, remove the rear pin and then the nut securing the ball joint, using a fork puller for removal. Then, proceed in reverse for the installation of the new one.

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.
