How to remove and install the rear Control Arm in suspension systems on 2010 Ford Focus?

On 2008 and later models, the manufacturer advises that all suspension and steering system fasteners requiring specific torque should be replaced with new ones whenever removed, excluding the subframe bolts. The bushings in the suspension arms cannot be replaced separately; the complete Control Arm must be replaced if there is any wear or damage. Begin by removing the rear suspension coil spring, then take off the nut securing the stabilizer bar link to the Control Arm and remove the bolt to disconnect the stabilizer bar. Next, unscrew and remove the bolt securing the Control Arm to the crossmember and the bolt to the hub assembly, noting that on 2003 and later models, this bolt secures an eccentric that controls alignment of the Control Arm, so matching marks should be made on the crossmember and eccentric before removal. Withdraw the Control Arm from under the vehicle, and for installation, follow the reverse of removal, delaying full tightening of the Control Arm mounting bolts until the suspension design height setting procedure has been completed, with a subsequent check of the wheel alignment required.
