Removal
1. Loosen the wheel nuts, raise the front of the vehicle and install vertical supports. Remove the wheel. Place a floor jack under the lower control arm where the ball joint is located. Raise the jack slightly to relieve the load on the upper control arm.
Warning: The jack must remain in this position throughout the entire procedure.
2. Disconnect the wheel speed sensor wire from the lever (see illustration).
5.2. Disconnect the wheel sensor wire from the suspension arm
3. Unscrew the nut of the ball joint coupling bolt and remove the bolt (see illustration).
5.3. Unscrew the nut and remove the ball joint pinch bolt
4. Disconnect the upper control arm from the steering knuckle. If this cannot be done immediately, drive a chisel into the gap of the lever to slightly wedge it (see illustration).
5.4. Drive a chisel into the gap of the suspension arm to slightly wedge it
5. Unscrew the upper arm pivot bolts and remove it (see illustration).
5.5. Remove the suspension arm pivot bolts
Installation
6. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. Tighten the control arm pivot bolts and the pinch bolt and ball joint nut to the required torque. Tighten the wheel nuts to the torque shown in Chapter 1 specifications.
7. After completing the described procedure, you should check compliance with the standard and, if necessary, adjust the angles of the front wheels.
