I have just taken delivery of my new front wishbones - got them at a decent price too.
Front bushings had gone so I figured change ball joints at same time, but as they are incorporated one must change the whole control arm.
Anyway........ just wondered if anyone on here had changed them before and had any tips for changing them.
Some places say the subframe has to come out, but from what Ive seen from looking at the underside, I just need to pop the ball joint out of the hub carrier, remove the screw on the front bush, then tap the trailing arm out and hey presto its removed and reverse for refitting.
Any advice appreciated.
