Hi, great video. good advice about a spinning balljoint. My question is. See the middle of the wishbone. The blank middle bit. What is the name of the fitting/bush that this slots into. it looks like my sons one is very worn but the wishbone is completely seperate from this. Hope ive explained this question properly.

@@diydaly Just changed both sides on my Fabia which is the same set up as polo. I spent an hour or so trying to get back bush to line up. Tried all sorts of rods, podgers, the bolt with mole grips just would not go. I noticed the white metal bushes are quite rough, so I used a little bit of emery and filed a very slight lead where it was catching. This did the trick and second side was fairly easy using same technique. Cheers

Should you not have tightened the 2 arm bolts with weight pushing up on the arm.
@adrianmack3
@adrianmack3 3 года назад
Definitely covered the basics, but those bolts are torque to yield, they should be replaced. Shop manual also states to tighten the control arm bolts with the weight on the suspension to load the control arm. I failed to do that when I replaced mine, the large rear control arm bushings lasted 6 months before they self destructed.

Is the other side just as easy for bolt access and removal
@Simon_Mullan
@Simon_Mullan 4 месяца назад
No there is a small electric coolant pump you need to move to get access to the front bushing bolt. I disconnected the plug and the two clips hold it on can be just pushed off with a flat blade screwdriver.

@mufuliramark 4 месяца назад
I did the drivers side yesterday and one of the bolts can’t come out because of the oil sump. I had to lift the engine up to remove it. Simple job, just inconsiderate position of sump.

Could just be the arm, advisable to get it tracked after replacement

Vidio is very helpful,but the ti titinig bolts should be on a driving possession not on the rump possession,because thene car is on the road the bushes will be under stress .
