How to replace the front suspension arm in the Smart ForTwo?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Control arm

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the front suspension arm in the Smart ForTwo, a very simple and quick operation. First of all, we lift the side in question with a jack, taking all necessary safety measures, then we remove the wheel, detach the anti-roll bar link and remove the support for the bar itself. We then unscrew the three fixing bolts of the arm, using both an 18mm and a 19mm socket wrench, separate it from the chassis and, simply following the reverse procedure, we install the replacement.
