In the 4WD model, the spindle acts as the steering knuckle. Start with the procedure of removing the front wheel lug nuts and after that centre the front wheels turning the steering until the wheel is in the straight ahead position, then safely lift the vehicle and support it by placing jackstands before removing the front wheel. Then, unbolt the holder of the disc brake caliper, the brake disc and, for the 2WD car type, the disc brake splash guard, and it is necessary to connect the caliper to the underbody of the auto not to harm the brake hose; aurally, the holder of the ABS sensor must be taken from 2WD cars with the ABS system. In the case of the 2WD models, place the jack beneath the lower arm at the balljoint vicinity and lift until the spring load is catered for and the jack need remain stationary throughout the process. For 4WD models , if there is an assembly of hub lock it will have to be removed, and the driveaxle of the hub and bearing assembly will also have to be separated, next the disc brake splash will be removed and if there is ABS sensor fitted then it should also be detached from the steering knuckle. Lift the vehicle and remove the jack under the lower control arm and then unload the torsion bar. Go on to take out the upper shock absorber mounting nut and washer and the upper ball joint pinch bolt nut and pinch bolt then gently pull out the ball stud from the spindle. Take off the bottom nuts of the lower shock absorber mounting and take away the shock absorber, then turn off the tie-rod end from the spindle. On un 2WD models remove the coil spring with a coil spring compressor then remove the lower ball joint cotter pin then loosen the castellated nut and then use a small puller to remove the lower control arm ball joint from the spindle. Last, unbolt the spindle/steering knuckle and to avoid straining the CV joints on 4WD models, support the driveaxle assembly must be supported. Removing is the reverse of installation which is done thoroughly with emphasis on ensure all bolts and nuts are tightened as recommended, or to the recommended torque tightenings and ensuring a front end alignment by a dealer service department or an alignment shop.

Remove the upper balljoint pinch bolt nut and pinch bolt. To separate the spindle from the upper control arm, remove the pinch bolt and then carefully pry the ballstud out of the spindle.
