To pull the control arm and then to free it from the place, it is necessary to, loosen the wheel lug nuts on the particular side for disassembling, lift the car with the front part being raised on the jackstands, and then remove the wheel. However, the following removal procedure varies; first, offer a prybar to separate the control arm from the
Steering Knuckle and then, take out the bolt and two nuts that hold the control arm to the steering knuckle. Loosen the front suspension cross-member part by unbolting it and placing it on the floor jack stands, then remove the control arm front pivot bolt and the rear bushing bolt so that you can remove the control arm. For probing, look for sideline distortion in the control arm and wear or damage on bushings that should be replaced and never try straightening a bent control arm. During this procedure, the fasteners' torque should be tightened as recommended except the front pivot bolt, which should not be tightened until the outer end of the control arm has been lifted to give the normal height of the car. While fixing the subframe, use a rod with the diameter of the four subframe-to-chassis bolts to align the each side of the car to fit the bolts one at a time and loosen all the four without using any tools until the bolts are properly placed. Following installation, fit the wheel and the lugs, lower the automobile and finally, wrench the lug nuts to the prescribed turn. That is why, after the completion of this job, it is suggested to check the front wheel alignment and if required, adjust the same.
