Got an awful knocking / rattling over uneven roads, the only thing to not have been rplaced in the last 15'000 miles are the ARB bushes.

Dont fancy dropping the subframe so i plan on getting the car on axle stands, removing the drop links (got new ones to put on) and sliding the old ones off / new ones on.

My questions are, what tool will i require to undo the clamp that sits over the bush?
Does anyone have any pictures of what i am looking at regarding the bush location and the clamp.
Is it a ball ache of a job?

Thanks

pretty sure the ARB clamps are held in place by ordinary M8 bolts so a 13mm socket probably?

The arb bushes are clamped in place by the long (M10 I think) screw that passes through the wishbone P-bush and the subframe. Think it's a 17mm head.

Shouldn't need a new bolt and the nut is just a plain flanged nut so it should be fine. Wink
