Removing
1. We prepare the car for work (see «Preparing the car for maintenance and repair»).

3. Remove the engine mudguard.
4. We turn off two bolts of fastening of a spherical support to a rotary fist (see «Rack ball joint - removal and installation»).
Attention! When performing the following operation, be careful as the stabilizer is under tension.
5. We take out the bolt of the stabilizer strut to the lever (see «Anti-roll bar - strut replacement»).
6. Using two 19 mm wrenches, unscrew the nut of the bolt securing the transverse arm to the body bracket and remove the bolt.
7. To minimize steering axle misalignment when installing the arm, count and record the number of shims located at the rear end of the caster brace.
8. Holding the extension from turning with a 24 mm open-end wrench, with a socket wrench of the same size with a long collar, unscrew the nut of the rear end of the extension.
9. Remove the thrust washer from the rear end of the longitudinal extension.
10. Remove the lower arm assembly with the ball joint from the longitudinal brace.
11. In order not to lose, remove the thrust and adjusting washers from the extension.
12. If necessary, we clamp the lever in a vice and press out the ball joint pin from it (see «Rack ball joint - removal and installation»).
Installation
Install the lever in reverse order.
Warning! When installing the adjusting washer, it is necessary that the chamfer on its inner edge faces the extension.
Recommendation. Finally tighten the nuts of the rubber-metal hinges only after the vehicle is installed on the wheels.
