6. Remove the lower front suspension arm.
Installation
Installation of the lower arm of the front suspension is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
Tighten all threaded connections to the required torques:
- Wheel nuts: 90–100 Nm
- Nut of fastening of a pin of a spherical joint of the lower arm of a forward suspension bracket: 60–72 Nm
- Silent block mounting bolt A: 95–120 Nm
- Silent block mounting bolt G: 130–150 Nm
- Stabilizer link ball joint pin nuts: 35–45 Nm
Disassembly
Replacing the ball joint and dust cover
1. Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the dust cover from the lower arm ball joint.
2. Remove the retaining ring.
3. Using a plastic mallet, knock out the ball joint pin from the lower arm of the front suspension.

Examination
1. Check the silent blocks for wear and deterioration.
2. Check the lower front suspension arm for bending or damage.
3. Check the ball joint boot for cracks.
4. Check the condition of all bolts.
5. Check the torque that must be applied to rotate the ball joint pin of the lower front suspension arm.
- If there are cracks in the protective boot, replace the ball joint.
- Rock the ball joint pin of the lower arm several times from side to side.
- Measure the torque required to rotate the lower arm ball joint pin. Torque: 3.5-10 Nm
- If the torque exceeds the allowable values, replace the ball joint.
- If the torque is well below the allowable value, the ball joint can be reused as long as it does not jam or have excessive play.
