help with changing sway bar link and bushes on vy commodore

[jewie]

hi i was wondering if anyone could help me im after a guide to changing sway bay links and bushes on my vy commodore. hopefully im not naming them wrong but i have the nolethane kit already which is part number 42708

and also if i was to go and do this myself would i be needing to get a wheel alignment afterwards?

any help is much appreciated!!

i changed the bushes on the left side of my vy recently.i found that by turning steering wheel to the left fully before taking off the wheel and jacking it up made it a lot easier to do this job.pretty straightforward just pay attention to the order of the washers and bush when you take them off.and no you should not need a wheel alignment.

You need to change these or at least fit themand tighten them up with the car's weight resting on the road wheels so the suspeension is at it's normal height. I replaced the standard bushes from underneath the car with it up on ramps.
The better type which has a ball joint on the top as well could be changed with the wheels off. You won't need a wheel alignment.
