I'll be fitting the bushes to the S40 for my Dad... Is there anything I need to know about replacing the wishbone bushes on a S40 1.8i (T reg 1999)?

I'm thinking I'll just jack the car up, remove the wheel and then unbolt the nut that holds the bush in place. Anything I should be looking out for; for example - will the wishbone be forced down to the ground when I remove the nut & bolt, or will I have to support it from underneath?

i think you mak need some kind of press to remove the bushes - a length of rod/studding, two nuts/washers. and some well chosen sockets. you may be able to use a hacksaw carefully tho
