The front suspension wishbone consists of two elements: the triangular-shaped wishbone itself, which has two silent blocks for attachment to the chassis, and the ball joint that connects the wishbone to the hub support; generally, both the silent blocks and the ball joint are subject to wear.

The replacement is quite simple: once the vehicle is raised on a jack, remove the front wheel and the fastening pins of the wishbone; extract it from its seat and insert the new one, complete with ball joint, ensuring all fastening pins are tightened.

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.
