Steps
Raise and remove the wheel
Loosen the wheel nuts while the tire is on the ground, raise and support the vehicle securely, then remove the wheel for access to the link.
Remove the old link
Apply penetrant if needed and remove the upper and lower retaining nuts. Counterhold the stud if it spins, then withdraw the link from the suspension.
Install the new link
Position the replacement link and start both nuts by hand. Tighten each end to the vehicle specification while ensuring the link is not twisted or contacting nearby parts.
Reinstall the wheel
Mount the wheel and hand-start the lug nuts. Lower the vehicle and torque the wheel fasteners to specification in a crossing pattern.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
