Hi all,
I desperately need to replace my bushes on the front end of my vt commodore. It's a 2000 v6 series 2 I think.
I've been quoted a couple of fairly expensive quotes and am keen to do the job myself.
The things my mechanic has mentioned that I need are:
- front lower control arm inner bushes
- front castor rod bushes
- front link arm bushes
While I'm doing the work are there any other components that may be worth replacing? Any other bushes within the assembly perhaps?
I have a few questions regarding the work:
- is it an easygoing enough job for someone with basic know how?
- will I need any special tools?
- will I need a car hoist or stands, or could I get the job done with a simple jack?
- any tips or tricky steps to look out for?
- if anyone has a good reference or could write down a how to guide I'd be so thankful! It's a bit daunting but I'm sure with the forums experts we can work it out!!
Thanks in advance guys.
Cheers,
