Just to check; front arb bushes don't need everything else to come apart to be changed do they?
I've not changed the front ones yet, PM Simon13 as he has not long changed them on his car.
& is there anything else I need? Track rods /ends? Will they need to come off & have the tracking re-done anyway?
I wouldn't worry about the track rod ends unless you are having any problems with the front suspension/steering ?

They can be a right bitch to change for the average DIYer as they can seize(sp?) on to the track rod i think ? Tracking would need checking if you managed to put new ones on.

Cheers dude; I'll leave em well alone then :thumb:

Shall order all the bits in the morning, as well as a fuel filter cos I'm still having problems there & another cambelt & tensioner cos the last one I fitted is noisy! :hammer:

Almost lost patience with it at one point but I will get there!
