How to remove and install a control arm on a 2011 and later Kia Sorento?

To remove the control arm, first loosen the wheel lug nuts on the side to be disassembled, then raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands before removing the wheel. Next, take out the cotter pin, nut, and balljoint pinch bolt, using a prybar to separate the control arm/balljoint assembly from the knuckle while being careful not to damage the balljoint boot. After that, remove the fasteners securing the control arm to the subframe, followed by the front control arm-to-subframe bolts, and then take out the control arm. For inspection, ensure the control arm is straight; if bent, it should be replaced without attempting to straighten it. Check the bushings, which can be removed and replaced using a hydraulic press; if a press is unavailable, consider having the bushings replaced by an automotive machine shop. For installation, follow the reverse order of removal, tightening all fasteners to the specified torque. The pivot bolt nut should be tightened with the vehicle at normal ride height, which can be achieved after assembly by lowering the vehicle and bouncing it a few times or by simulating the height with a floor jack. Finally, install the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque, and it is advisable to have the front wheel alignment checked and adjusted if necessary after completing the job.
