Height Sensor Link Ball Stud Replacement

REMOVAL PROCEDURE

Notice: When reconnecting the link, take care not to bend or break the height sensor arm, and make sure the height sensor arm and link are properly oriented. Improper orientation will prevent the ALC system from operating properly, and can result in damage to the height sensor.
