Separate the arm from the tie-bar and remove it from under the car.
Overhaul
5 Renewal of the pivot bush is carried out in
the same way as described in Section 3.
6 If the balljoint is worn it can be renewed after removing it from the hub carrier as described in Section 3.
Refitting

removal. Tighten all nuts and bolts to the
specified torque with the weight of the car on
its roadwheels. If the balljoint has been
removed, refit the Torx pinch-bolt with its
