4. Slightly pull the drive shaft out of the hub. If equipped, separate the front suspension height sensor rod from the suspension arm (see Section 8).
5. Pull the ball joint out of the front suspension arm by pulling the steering knuckle out. If necessary, pull the lever down as far as possible.

7. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. The right and left supports are different from each other; for identification, they are marked accordingly "R" And "L".

11. Give nuts (see illustration 4.5 of chapter 8) and separate the ball joint from the front suspension arm.
12. Replace the support bracket bolts on both sides in turn with T10096 centering pins (see illustration 3.3 or positions 1 and 8 in illustration 3.11), by tightening them with a force of no more than 20 Nm. Then unscrew the bolts (17 and 10 in illustration 3.11).
13. Turn out bolts (1 in illustration 3.3) and remove the suspension arm along with the bracket.
14. Install the lever with the support bracket on the subframe and screw in the bolts (10 and 17 in illustration 3.11), but do not completely tighten them.
15. Tighten the bolts (1 in illustration 3.3) and a new bolt instead of the centering pin T10096.
16. Tighten the fasteners of the lever on the ball joint and tighten the bolts (10 and 17 in illustration 3.11).
