How to change the control arm on the Renault Clio III

Model: Renault Clio MK 3, Clio 3, Clio III - Years 2005-2013
Part: Control arm

In this video we can see how to change the control arm of the Renault Clio III: we start by removing the front wheels and then lifting the car. We immediately find the piece we need to change behind the brake disc, clean all the elements with a wire brush and WD-40, and remove the fixing bolts. We remove the control arm, helping, if necessary, with a flat chisel to help remove the ball joint; we clean the part well and then install the new control arm; it is very important to perfectly match the ball joint, using double wrenches to tighten it well. Once repositioned, we can reassemble the wheel, sprinkling the disc with specific cleaner and copper grease, and then lower the car.
