Hi guys,
 
I'm just doing some much need suspension upgrades.
 
Can someone talk me through what I need to do to install the Mini Spares tie bar bush kit and replace the lower arm bushes?

Please refer to the photo links attached and point me to the existing bushes at A, B, C or D to tell me which ones I need to replace - I'm a bit dyslexic so it's good to know visually.

 

Thanks in advance :)

It is well covered in your Haynes manual I would read that to be honest.

But to dum up. Undo what is needed and replace old bits with new. Be aware the bottom arm bush does have a steel sleeve thst often remains on the pin.

Talking pictures as you start is a good way to refresh the memory when reassemling them.

Re the lower ball joint and trackrod end you may not need to touch them, or you may need to disconnect them. It depends.
