Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Apply the parking brake. Remove the wheel. On 4WD models, remove the steering knuckle. Detach the stabilizer link from the lower control arm. Remove the lower shock absorber/coil spring fasteners. Loosen the lower balljoint nut a few turns, then use a balljoint separator or puller to separate the balljoint from the steering knuckle. Mark the position of the front and rear pivot fasteners. Remove the pivot nuts and bolts from the control arm and then remove it from the frame. Inspect the bushings for wear and deterioration. If they're cracked or damaged, take the control arm to an automotive machine shop and have new bushings installed. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten all suspension fasteners. Have the wheel alignment checked and, if necessary, adjusted.

If the bushings are worn or deteriorated, it is recommended to have new bushings installed at an automotive machine shop.
