9. If equipped, disconnect the front suspension height sensor rod from the left suspension arm (see Section 8).
10. On both sides of the car, give the nuts (see illustration 4.5 of chapter 8) and separate the ball joint from the front suspension arm. Remove the exhaust bracket from the subframe.
11. Turn out bolts (14 on resist. illustrations) and separate the oscillating bearing from the transmission. Fix the subframe as described in the subsection above. Remove the bolts (3 and 6) mount the steering gear and tie it up with a wire so that it does not change position. Then unscrew the bolts (11 and 16) stabilizer and also tie it up.
