For installation, assemble the control arms and bushings, attach them to the vehicle, and connect the ball joint studs, making sure to tighten to the proper torque. Reinstall the crossmember brackets and perform a wheel alignment. To start the procedure for the Mirage, you will want to raise the vehicle and remove the wheel and tire assembly.
