Well spent 5hrs tonight trying to fit the radius correction bushes.

First issue was needing to undo the shock absorber. Witch did not wanna come undone.

Then the actual undoing of the radius arm well this was easy as pie.

Now getting the old bushes out. This was how do I put it a ***t of a job.
And took 3.5hrs of the job lol. Even with a 20ton press they did not want budge . So after a lot of struggling and then giving up... I SET THEM ON FIRE! this got rid of the rubber.
Next was the air saw and chiesl to remove the metal sleave.

Then the easy bit fitting the poly bushes.

Now refitting the arm this was a pain to get the holes in the rite place. Ended up jacking the other side of car up to aling the them.

So at least one side is done!
And tomorrow I'm gonna burn the ***ts out from the get go!

I drilled the rubber out of the bushes until I was left with just the metal ring around the outside of the bush and knocked this out with a small cold chisel after slicing it with a hacksaw first.
