Suspension Links Removal/Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

To prevent the bushings from being twisted or pinched, perform the procedures with no passengers or luggage aboard the vehicle.

For the joint sections with rubber bushings, raise the vehicle using a lift and temporarily tighten the installation nuts and bolts, then tighten them to the specified torque with the vehicle placed on the ground.
