The 2013 Kia Sorento AWD has a different strut setup. The upper control arm is not on this model. The upper part of the knuckle is connected directly to the strut. Only remove two bolts from the strut and the knuckle will pivot forward.

What size socket are you using for the axle nut?

Can anybody PLEASE tell me if you get a New Spring Clip when you buy a new axle? If not, can you use the old one?? Thank You.
