Hi all,

My front suspension is just terrible - both the front near side and drivers side wishbones have had it - Butsed big time. Has anyone fitted replacement wishbones themselves, and so... is it an easyish job to get done (myself), and do I need a splitter or any other spec tools for the job. I know that the tracking will have to be done.

Thanks for the help, much apreciated. Smile

I tried to do mine about a month ago and couldn't get to open the nuts holding the wishbones due to the lack of space underneath the car Sad
