Title: Wishbone bush replacement
Post by: Deano2711 on 12 June 2010, 21:55

My car passed the MOT last week but one of the advisories was the wishbone bush was worn. It's the one on the passenger side closest to the rear of the car. Had a look today and it looks like I need to undo the nut and bolt that runs through it. Then turn the wheel so the wishbone comes out of the joint. I then change the bush and reconnect. Is this the right way or am I missing something. Sounds too easy to be true. Let me know if anyone has done this.

you need to press them out then press audi TT ones back in!
oh, and i think you forgot to remove the ball joint.
eerrrm, i`ll mod that again, you need to take the wishbone completly from the car if thats what youre asking.

Cheers Buddy. it sounds like a more time consuming job than I thought. Think I will ring my mate's garage Monday morning instead.  Thanks for your help though.
