Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheel. Remove the brake disc, the wheel speed sensor and the small bracket that holds the brake hose and ABS wheel speed sensor harness to the knuckle. Disconnect the tie-rod end from the steering knuckle. Separate the upper control arm from the steering knuckle. Separate the tension strut from the steering knuckle. Separate the lower control arm from the steering knuckle. Carefully inspect the steering knuckle for cracks, especially around the steering arm and spindle mounting area. Also inspect the balljoint stud holes. If they're elongated, or if you find any cracks in the knuckle, replace the steering knuckle. Remove the hub, brake dust shield or lower balljoint as necessary for replacement.

Special tools are also necessary for the link and knuckle to be rejoined with a new metal sleeve installed.
