To replace the front wishbone of the Volkswagen Polo, loosen the nuts on the front wheel and lift the car using a ramp. Remove the nuts and take off the wheel, clean the fixing nuts, and unscrew them starting with the fastening element and finishing with the ball joint.

Using a pry bar, pull out the old wishbone, then clean the housing with a brush and spray cleaner, and insert the new wishbone using the pry bar. Fit new nuts and bolts, support the suspension with a hydraulic jack, and finish tightening the nuts with a torque wrench.

Refit the wheel and lower the car.
