Removing
1. Loosen the wheel nuts. Raise the front of the car and place it on stands. Remove the wheel.
2. Turn away a nut of fastening of an earring of the stabilizer to the suspension arm (see paragraph 6).
3. Turn out a coupling bolt of a spherical joint (pic. 7.3).
4. Disconnect the ball joint pin from the steering knuckle with a large screwdriver (pic. 7.4). Do not damage the support cover. Disconnect the suspension arm from the steering knuckle.
5. Remove the lower arm front pivot bolt (pic. 7.5).
6. Turn out coupling bolts of the plug of the back hinge of the lever (pic. 7.6). Remove the suspension arm from the vehicle.
Examination
7. Inspect the front and rear arm bushings for damage or wear. If the front arm bushing needs to be replaced, take it to a service station as a press is required to replace the bushing. If the rear bushing needs to be replaced, unscrew the nut from the suspension arm and remove the bushing together with the bracket from the arm axle. Install a new bushing, lock washer and tighten the fastening nut to the required torque.
8. Inspect the lever for deformation or breakage. Replace lever if necessary. DO NOT attempt to straighten a bent lever.
Installation
9. Installation is made in sequence, return to removal. Tighten all connections to the required torque.
10. Establish a wheel and screw nuts of its fastening. Lower the vehicle and tighten the wheel nuts to the required torque (see technical data at the beginning of chapter 1).
