Looks like the car is going to fail the MOT on excessive play in the rear link arms. Not going to pay the dealer to fix this as will do it myself. Anyone done this job before? Any tips or things to look out for? Looks to be fairly straight forward from the WSM.
Cheers. Darren

 

My lower link arm bolts were sprayed with a WD40 spray the other month when it got serviced as the tech said the lower link arms needed doing soon as the bushes in them were worn causing excessive play on the rear wheels and the nuts were seized.Got them done a few weeks back and nuts came straight off thanks to the WD40 applied earlier.Easy job and suspension doesnt need setting up afterwards.

 

cheers yes it is the lower link arms. Did the pads & discs last night so will attack the arms tonight

 

yes they are a tad tight to get out and the bolt heads are a bit small for the socket. 1 rounded off & needed stilsons and heat to get it out. And I thought it was going to be an easy job!
