Rear suspension upper wishbone arm, first rear suspension is similar to front, so we’ll look at the differences, such as unclipping handbrake cable from lower arm, fit a brake hose clamp to this hose on the upper arm and remove the brake pipe downstream of it collect all the clips. Knuckle joints are horizontally mounted. Upper joint is held by cam bolt washer assembly, similar to front bolt whose position needs to be reference marked to the upper arm bracket before dismantling. There’s insufficient space to withdraw rearmost bolt from upper arm at chassis, so bracket’s hole has slot to allow bolt to be lifted out, and refitted, with arm.
After re bushing, refit upper arm, leaving the bush bolts loose. Set the axle centre the correct distance from the wheel arch top. Fit cam bolt to knuckle joint, aling marks and tighten to torque. Tighten the inner bush bolt and reassemble. Bleed the brake manually using a pipe and jar.
As same rear suspension lower wishbone arm. Unbolt the toe link from the knuckle, and disconnect the exhaust pipe from its hanger to improve access to the lower arm’s rear chassis bolt. BY easing the hub and knuckle assembly outward, the lower wishbone can be pulled down and out from the vehicle.
