Best approach to fit rear bush to front wishbone?

Post by busguy » Fri Jan 29, 2010 11:49 am

I have to fit a rear bush to the front wishbone of my bongo and just wanted to check with the experts the best procedure to incur minimal dismantling, but to remain safe and achieve the objective.

Eg. Can it be done with wheel on but jack the body to take weight, etc.? Are there any issues I need to be aware of?
Cheers and thanks for reading query.

Haven't done a Bongo bush but any wishbone bushes I've done I've had to remove the wishbone and cut the old bush off. Watch out, the bush could be a void bush which can only fit in one position to allow the bush to flex in a predetermind direction
