Removing The Front Drop Link On A MiTo.
ATTENTION...CALLING ALL CARS!!!! On the early models the drop link thread has a different pitch to the replacement part that is available today so when changing the drop link you will also need the updated nuts.
 | Remove the front wheel. |
|
 | On the early models undo the top bolt connected to the shock absorber bracket using a 17mm spanner to hold the ball joint while removing the nut with a 16mm socket. |
|
 | On the later models use a 17mm spanner to undo the nut while holding the tip of the ball joint with a 5mm allen key. |
|
 | Undo the bottom ball joint connected to the anti roll bar and and the drop link is free. |
