Lower wishbone
The ball joint and rubber bushings of the wishbone can be replaced. The ball joint is connected to the lower wishbone with three screws, which are secured from the top side with self-locking nuts. When installing the nuts, tighten them to a tightening torque of 35 Nm.
The rubber bearings of the wishbone can be replaced, but the wishbone must be taken to a workshop to replace the bushings. The bushings must be pressed in a certain position, so it is better to entrust this operation to workshop workers. Do not try to knock out the bushings and drive in new ones under any circumstances. To perform this operation, you must have a press. If you are doing the work yourself, then before pressing out the rear wishbone bushing, you should pay attention to the position of its kidney-shaped hole

Coil springs
Coil springs and shock absorbers are not repairable. If damaged, they should be replaced. Springs and shock absorbers can be replaced separately without affecting the quality of the front suspension shock absorption, but you should pay attention to the correct selection of springs and shock absorbers
