To take off the wheel, loosen the lug nuts, lift the vehicle and support it on jackstands before laying off the wheel. Then, take out the bolt and nut to remove the upper balljoint from the steering knuckle; then, unbolt the knuckle on an upper control arm; and support the knuckle with wire or rope. Take out the bolts which hold the upper control arm, this should be done with the use of a six point socket to avoid rounding of the heads of the bolts. If one or many of the pivot bushings are damaged, then the control arm should be taken to a repair shop for replacement. Due to this, on the lower control arm, first remove the ball joint retaining nut though do not remove it, then use the ball joint separator tool to remove the arm from the spindle where the spindle should be supported to prevent it from sacking. Locate the positions of the camber adjustment cams on the chassis and undo nut on the stabilizer link side of the control arm. Subsequently, remove the shock absorber's lower mounting bolt/nut together with the pivot bolt/nut to remove the control arm. If the pivot bushing is worn out, it is recommendable to consult a professional for the bushing to be replaced. For the process of installation, one needs to reverse the above processes but should not tighten the pivot fasteners until the suspension system reaches its normal height, which can be accomplished through the involvement of a floor jack for lifting the lower control ball joint. Last, make sure all the bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended amounts of torque and get the front end pro Alignment done at a facility.

Remove the lower arm-to-frame pivot bolts and nuts, then remove the arm(s) from the vehicle.

It is recommended that the entire assembly be taken to a Toyota dealer, as a number of special tools and techniques are required, making it unsuitable for the home mechanic.

Use a screwdriver to pry off the dust cover set ring and the cover.
