• Q: How to replace the front lower control arm bushing on 2010 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: You will need various tools to replace the front lower control arm bushing: Front Control Arm Rear Bushing Replacer (CH-48358), Remover/Installer (KM-158), Removal Plate (KM-307-B), Control Arm Bushing Remover/Installer (KM-508-A). The necessary replacement tools for front control arm bushings are a Front Control Arm Rear Bushing Replacer (CH-48358), Remover/Installer (KM-158), Removal Plate (KM-307-B), and Control Arm Bushing Remover/Installer (KM-508-A). Start by taking off the front lower control arm assembly and write down where the arrow marks the rear bushing in relation to the arm's dot stamp along with how the front bushing has its plus signs. Follow the CH-48358 kit procedure by mounting CH-48358-2 to a press and installing the control arm assembly into position followed by aligning the rear bushing correctly on CH-48358-2. You should now place the CH-48358-1 component on the front control arm rear bushing followed by using the press to remove the bushing. Place the KM-307-B on a press before cleaning the rear bushing hole from any present dirt or burrs. Next put the KM-508-4 from the KM-508-A kit onto the KM-307-B while placing the control arm assembly onto the press for alignment with the front bushing. Put the KM-158-5 component from the KM-158 kit on the front bushing before pressing it out using the kit. The CH-48358-4 must be placed on the press followed by the control arm positioning itself on the tool. Next align the arrow on the rear bushing with the dot on the control arm and install the fresh rear bushing into place. Install the rear bushing with the CH-48358-3 then place the KM-307-B on a press and set in position the KM-508-4 which will accept the control arm with the final attachment of the KM-508-2. Apply lubrication to both the front bushing exterior and its internal hole before positioning it into the KM-508-2 so the front bushing faces the control arm with its plus signs in alignment. Install the KM-508-3 onto your front bushing and operate the press until the bushing is correctly positioned before you reattach the front lower control arm assembly.
