  Q: How do you remove the control arm?

  A: To remove the control arm, start by loosening the wheel lug nuts and raising the front of the vehicle on jackstands. Remove the wheel and disconnect the tie-rod end from the Steering Knuckle. Loosen the balljoint nut and use a puller to separate the balljoint from the steering knuckle. Remove the front bushing nut and the control arm pivot bolt nut, then detach the control arm from the sub-frame. Inspect the control arm for distortion and the bushings for wear, replacing any damaged parts. To install the control arm, reverse the removal steps, making sure to leave the pivot bolt nut and front bushing nut finger tight until all other components are installed. Before tightening the pivot nuts, raise the outer end of the control arm to simulate normal ride height and then tighten the nuts to the proper torque specifications. Finally, have the front wheel alignment checked and adjusted if necessary.
