4. Raise the lower control arm with a jack. Do not remove the jack.
5. Unscrew the nut, remove the washer and axle.
6. Check the condition of the bushings.

8. Assembly is carried out in reverse order.
9. Tighten the nut to the specified torque.
Attention! Tighten the nut only after lowering the car, on a level surface. You can also simulate the load on the lever by lifting the lower lever with a jack.
