Pretty easy job really. With the wheels off you can do it through the wheel arches. One bolt secures them and they then slide off the ARB. You will need to disconnect the bottom of the drop link too.Things to watch are to match up the new bush with the way the old one came off ie. the right way up and the right way round and make sure the lug seats in the cutout in the ARB. Other than that it can take a bit of force with a lever to get the bush retaining thing down far enough to re-engage the bolt. Prob half hour a side with jacking etc. ________________________________________ China D Turbo HDi daily chargerBlack Rallye occassional toy |

Ok cool it's just that I get a loud clunk occasionally when going off left lock. It can't be the top mounts, well I don't think it is as I changed them about 12 months back. Same symptoms as my Mrs 307 and changing out the arb bushes sorted the problem.________________________________________ Team Diesel |

Saying that I put some alloy body bushes on my wishbone and the clamping area to bolt to the chassis is much thicker than oem parts, and I don't think the arb bush is fully incased properly.________________________________________ Team Diesel |

They are poly hence why they last so long. I did mine anyway because a)only then could i say "all the suspension is new" and  because they are very cheap anyway________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |
