How to Remove and Inspect a Control Arm on Chrysler PT Cruiser?

To remove the control arm, start by loosening the wheel lug nuts and raising the front of the vehicle. Support it securely on jackstands and remove the wheel. Remove the ball joint pinch bolt and nut, then disconnect the stabilizer bar links from the control arms and rotate the bar down. Use a pry bar to disconnect the control arm from the steering knuckle and pull the ball joint stud from the steering knuckle. If removing the right control arm, remove the pencil strut and engine lower torque strut. Remove the bolt and nut securing the front of the control arm to the cross member, then remove the bolt that attaches the rear of the control arm to the cross member. Finally, remove the control arm. To inspect the control arm, ensure it is straight and replace if bent. Inspect the bushings and replace if cracked or worn out. To install the control arm, reverse the removal steps, ensuring to tighten the pivot bolt and rear mounting bolt with the control arm raised to simulate normal ride height. Tighten the control arm's front bolt first, then the rear bolt. Install and align the engine lower torque strut. Finally, install the wheel, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts.
