Was way out had to shim the upper arm on driver's side otherwise said nothing looked out of ordinary. I've done the ball joints Bush's etc heaps times in past on these cars but yes I have a small 6ton press. Hardest part was cutting factory bush shells out of old arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
