How to Replace the Small Rubber Bushing on the Magotan's Lower Control Arm?
2 Answers
Method for replacing the small rubber bushing on the Magotan's lower control arm is as follows: 1. First, remove the car's suspension and then take off the tire. 2. Next, remove the associated screws one by one that are used for replacing the lower control arm bushing. 3. Then, use tools to knock out the old lower control arm bushing so it can be removed. 4. Finally, press the new one into place and reverse the removal steps to reassemble everything. Additional Information: The main function of the car's lower control arm is to guide and support the suspension. Its deformation affects wheel alignment and reduces driving stability. If there is an issue with the front control arm, symptoms may include steering wheel shaking, the car pulling to one side when the steering wheel is released, and difficulty controlling direction at high speeds. If these symptoms are not obvious, it may not be necessary to replace the bushing; instead, performing a four-wheel alignment to stabilize the direction may suffice.
I've got experience replacing the small bushings on the Magotan's lower control arm. First, use a jack to lift the car and remove the wheel - having someone assist makes it more stable. Use a wrench to remove the lower control arm bolts, remembering their angle and position for reassembly. Use a special tool to press out the old bushing, and apply some grease before pressing in the new one - pressing too hard can cause cracks. Finally, reinstall the bolts in their original positions, tightening them to the torque specified in the repair manual. After replacement, a wheel alignment is absolutely necessary to prevent uneven tire wear. This job is really tough without professional tools, so I recommend just going to a repair shop to save hassle.
