In addition to the left wheel with an automatic transmission installed:
- Remove 3 bolts from the rear of the wishbone.
- Remove the bolt from the outside of the front of the control arm. To make it easier, grab the control arm and move it in both directions while pulling the bolt out with pliers. Since the control arm is under tension, the bolt may jam.
- Remove the transverse arm. Figure 198 shows the transverse arm mount from the front (bolt and nut) and from the back (3 bolts).

- Disconnect the intermediate steering shaft. For details, see the chapter "Steering".
- Remove the cotter pins and castle nuts from both steering ends and press the ball joints out of the steering arms using a suitable puller.
- Remove all shields under the front of the car.
- Remove the 11 bolts and two nuts shown in Figure 199 that secure the center beam to the body. The plugs must be removed to access the bolts and nuts in the middle.

Fig. 199. To remove the beam, unscrew the indicated bolts and nuts from the vehicle (11 bolts, 2 nuts). First remove the two rubber plugs
- Disconnect the muffler pipe from the exhaust manifold. Remove the gaskets. When installing the gaskets, be sure to replace them. Release the muffler pipe from the other end (if there are any, disconnect the electrical wires), and remove the muffler pipe assembly.
- If there is a power steering, unscrew the feed and return pipes. Wipe off the leaking fluid so as not to contaminate the work area.
- Unscrew the bolts and nuts indicated by arrows in Figure 200 from the bottom of both transverse arms and separate the ball joints from the transverse arms.

- Unscrew the lower wishbones with the cross beam from the bottom of the car. A roller jack must be placed under the cross beam before unscrewing. First, unscrew the nuts and bolts of the rear engine mount and then the 6 bolts securing the cross beam. Lower the cross beam on the jack.
- Loosen the lower nut of the anti-roll bar connecting rod on the left wishbone and disconnect the rod.
- Remove the bolt from the front and rear of the control arm and remove the control arm from the crossmember.
