  Q: How to replace the lower control arm bracket on Chevrolet SSR?

  A: To replace the lower Control Arm Bracket do the following; first remove the tire and wheel, raise the vehicle and support it. Next, unscrew the stabilizer shaft link lower retaining nut and remove the stabilizer shaft link and the washer from the lower Control Arm. Take off the lower Control Arm to lower Control Arm Bracket mounting nuts, marking the direction of the bolts for an easy re-installation later followed by the removal of the lower Control Arm to lower control loop arm bracket mounting bolts. Pivot the lower Control Arm outward and downward to expose the lower Control Arm Bracket, then remove the lower Control Arm Bracket attaching bolt from the frame and remove the lower Control Arm Bracket from the vehicle. For installation, bolt on the lower Control Arm Bracket onto vehicle while you are guided by the fastener notice. Tighten the lower Control Arm Bracket mounting bolts to the frame to 260 nm (192 ft. Lbs. For the front lower Control Arm Bracket mounting bolt) and 240 (177 ft. Lbs. For rear lower Control Arm Bracket mounting bolts). Then, install the lower Control Arm to the lower Control Arm Bracket while making sure that it is parallel while installing and tightening the lower Control Arm mounting bolts and nuts that keep the lower Control Arm bushings properly aligned. Attach the lower Control Arm to lower Control Arm Bracket mounting nuts by tightening them to the specification of 110 nm (81 ft. L BS). A washer should be replaced between the stabilizer shaft link and the lower Control Arm with the washer of the same type, since standard washers should not be used. Then, install the stabilizer shaft link and washer to the lower Control Arm, then install the stabilizer shaft link retaining nut that must tighten to 145 nm (107 ft. Lbs.). Lastly, reinstall the tire and wheel, bring the vehicle down and check the alignment of the front wheel.
