Loosen the front wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, place it securely on jackstands and remove the wheel. Remove the through-bolt and detach the damper fork from the lower control arm. Detach the stabilizer bar link from the lower-control arm. Remove the cotter pin from the castle nut on the lower balljoint stud. Loosen the nut, but don't remove it yet (this will prevent the components from separating violently). Using a two-jaw puller, separate the lower control arm from the balljoint in the
Steering Knuckle. Remove the nut. Remove the pivot and front bolts from the inner end of the lower control arm and then remove the arm. Installation is the reverse of removal, noting the following points: Raise the outer end of the control arm with a floor jack to simulate normal ride height before tightening the pivot bolt and inner front bolt. Be sure to install a new cotter pin. Tighten the wheel lug nuts.
