How to service and repair the rear lower control arm on 2002 Ford Focus?

Question

Accepted Answer

The first step for repairing the rear lower arm requires setting the suspension to its design height and making reference marks on the position of the adjustment cam against the crossmember. The process of removing the rear lower arm should happen after completing the final tightening of rear suspension components at their design height settings. Before installing the wagon's rear lower arm you should avoid fully fastening the wheel knuckle bolt and properly position the crossmember mark with the rear lower arm adjustment cam mark. First detach the rear lower arm from the wheel knuckle then lower the suspension from its design height position. Small car and estate models need their marks on rear lower arm adjustment cams and crossmembers aligned before installing rear lower arms before lowering the design height of the suspension. The stabilizer bar must be attached to the rear lower arm for all cars along with the spring installation before performing the rear wheel alignment check.
