Loosen the wheel lug nuts on the side to be dismantled, raise the front of the vehicle, support it securely on jackstands, and remove the wheel. Remove the balljoint clamping bolt and nut, then disconnect the stabilizer bar link from the control arm. If removing the right side control arm, also remove the engine torque strut to access the front pivot bolt. Use a prybar to disconnect the control arm from the steering knuckle and pull the balljoint stud from the steering knuckle, taking care not to move the steering knuckle/strut assembly to avoid separating the inner CV joint. Remove the bolt and nut that attach the front of the control arm to the crossmember, ensuring to turn the bolt, not the nut, as the nut has an anti-rotation tang. Next, remove the bolt that attaches the rear of the control arm to the crossmember and then remove the control arm. Inspect the control arm for straightness; if bent, it should be replaced, and check the bushings for cracks, tears, or wear, replacing the control arm if necessary. For installation, reverse the removal steps, tightening the control arm's rear bolt first, followed by the front bolt and nut, ensuring all fasteners are tightened to the specified torque. Finally, install the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque, and consider having the front wheel alignment checked and adjusted if necessary after completing the job.

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.
