Replacing wishbones guide

[Chris_O]

I have searched everywhere but cannot find a guide on replacing wishbones. Anyone know if there is one?

cheers

Not sure if there is one.

Very simple though.

2 nuts under the carpet in the footwell in the interior.
2 bolts at the front mount, ad undo the clamp on the strut.

Hammer the wishbone down and a bit of WD40 on the clamp on the strut to help.

Then replace.

Ok it doesnt sound too bad, i've heard other people say it's pretty easy as well. Is there some sort of split bolt thing you have to bang out and replace with a new one?

[chinkostu]

no, not unless youre changing the balljoint. Haynes says to change the bolt on the bottom of the strut, but i reused mine and its fine!
