How to remove the lateral link on Cadillac DTS?

Before starting, take note of where the toe link cam sits at the inner end of the suspension support. Wiggle loose the nut that connects the toe link and control arm, then pry the ball stud loose using a puller tool that slides through the control arm. The nut will come free, and you can separate the toe link from the control arm. Start by taking off the exhaust system. Then unbolt the suspension support from the back, lower the support's rear end, and take off two bolts. To disconnect the link side from the suspension, remove the nut and cam washer, along with the bolt holding them together, and pull the link free. Reattach the connection between the suspension support and the toe link, matching the original positioning on the toe-adjusting cam before tightening the connecting nut. Recheck your suspension fastenings, wheel lug nuts, and realign your wheels if needed to the specified torque level.
