Hi,

I did the pedders "thing" and have been advised amongst the huge list of defects the rear lower arm (rose) bush needs replacing.  I do have a slight clunk sometimes going over a speed hump etc coming from the passenger side rear so I thought that would be an easy one to replace myself as a whole new arm when I do the shocks/springs next week.

 

Passenger side rear lower control arm inner bolt head is against the petrol tank,  is this arm an easy replacement on the passenger side with car stands.  Have not really worked out what I would have to remove or drop to get this lower arm bolt out.

 

I see heaps of new/refurbished arms on ebay so assumed this would be an easier one to repalce yourself.

thanks

As far as I know, the bolt will clear the tank when on jack stands with the wheels dangling.

 

It's easy to remove but sometimes difficult to get the new bushes in without a press.

you could do a super-dodgy method and cut a hole where the bolt, as it comes out, interferes with the rear suspension :stirthepot:
