1. Remove the rear suspension spring (see Replacing the rear suspension spring).
2. Install a 226mm high and 40mm wide spacer between the rear lower arm of the rear suspension and the upper spring plate, clamp it by loading the suspension (for example, by jacking up the arm).
NOTE: This is how the rear upper control arm is located on the vehicle.
3. Remove the bolts securing the upper arm to the trailing arm bracket…
4….and to the rear suspension cross member bracket.
5. Remove the upper rear suspension arm.
6. Carefully inspect the lever, replace the deformed lever. Signs of wear of the silent blocks are breaks, one-sided bulging and peeling of the rubber from the metal bushing. To replace the silent blocks, you will need pullers of the appropriate size.
NOTE: Pay attention to the marking on the lever.
When replacing, purchase the same lever.
7. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE: After replacing the rear upper control arm, check and adjust the wheel alignment if necessary (see Checking and adjusting wheel alignment angles).
