Every Ford Fiesta will require these bushes to be replaced at least once during it’s lifetime. They can wear to a point where they will also fail an MOT due to excessive movement.
In this video, i’ll show you typical symptoms of worn bushes, how to diagnose them and the process of how to replace them.
You will undoubtedly require specialist tooling to successfully complete replacement and safety is paramount. Although I’ll show you the process it can present a dangerous situation when lifting the vehicle and axle independently. Please take your time, be careful and ensure you use safety equipment at all times.

Removing the old bush is really easy. Obviously it doesn’t matter how destroyed they get as the are heading for the bin anyway. So get yourself a good electrician holesaw and arbour. It needs to be larger than the aluminium internal bolt holder but smaller than the hard plastic shell of the bush. Simply run the cutter through, then carefully with a recip saw if you have one or a reversed hack saw. Blade through the big hole then reattach to the saw. Carefully cut the hard plastic without damaging the metal. One good hit with a mechanic chisel or an old screwdriver and she’s out. To clean the inside, a cheap old flappy sand paper disk in a drill does a great job.

When I change my cars oil at every 5000 miles . Thankfully by use of a mechanics lift . I liberally spray 303 Protectant on all rubber parts . As this will help them resist drying out and cracking .

Great instructional video, personally i think the air hammer is abit of a rough way of doing this job but you did a great cleanup i go for the drilling and sabre blade reciprocating saw method myself

Worn rear bushes are a Ford tradition since the MK3 Cortina

I’ve struggled to get those bushes out before working in a busy garage done a lot of these all I do is gently hear the eye of the axle that contains the bush and a couple of swift blows with a hammer and they fly out works every time 👍

Mine were an advisory on the last MOT. The garage changed them as it was a bit beyond my limited DIY mechanic skills

That was the right move, took me 10 hours to do on my own lol.

I find the easiest method to remove is to drill 1 or 2 holes with 6 mm drill bit between edge of bush splitting the plastic surround then couple hits with hammer and comes out. Great vid though.

These are easy to do . Just use a hole cutter on a drill to take the central part of the bush out. Then get a air saw and cut the metal bush carrier . Once it’s cut through it will break the tension and can be tapped out easy. Then use a bearing puller to pull the new bush in.
