Replacement of Front Wheel Control Arm

Model: Volvo S80 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Control arm

The necessary tools are a ratchet spanner, a puller, and the original replacement bushes. Lift the car on the ramp to access the underlying mechanics. To access the faulty component, remove the wheel, then the brake, and finally the brake disc by unscrewing the driveshaft bolt. Once the broken control arm is identified, proceed with removal by unscrewing all bolts. Also remove the steering arm support by unscrewing the two bolts, then use the puller to remove the bush. Refit the new bush after thoroughly cleaning and greasing the support, then reassemble the control arm and the rest of the previously removed mechanics.
