Installation Front Wishbone Bushes
- 1. Position one of the new solid bushes, complete with bearing, into the wishbone carrier. Tap it in with a copper hammer. Once you have got itsittingsquare in the wishbone, put the wishbone housingin a vice/pressand windthe bush in until it’s fully seated. It is recommendedyou use some aluminium or wood jaws in the vice to prevent damage to the new bush/bearing. Greasing the bushes before fitting is also a good idea.
- 2. Now place the spacer bar in the wishbone carrier, soit will sit between the two halves of the front wishbone bush.
- 3. Now put the remaining bush in, repeating the fitment process as above.
- 4. Once the bushes are in, when you go to refit the wishbone, you need to fit the washers provided between the subframe housing and the roller bearing in each bush. There are 4 washers, one per bush. These can be a little fiddly to get in/line up, I used a screw driver to poke them into the rough position, then tapped a tapered bar (a screwdriver could be used instead) through the front wishbone bolt hole to line them up. If you are really struggling to get the washers into position, you can tack them to the bearing in the bush with a spot of super-glue, which will hold them in place whilst you refit the wishbone and re-insert the mounting bolt. Open up the aperture in the subframe with a lever bar if require, should there be insufficient room to fit the washers in.
- 5. Once lined up, but the bolt back in and tighten up to the specified torque as per Haynes Manual.
- 6. The bearings used in the front wishbone bushes are fully sealed and don’t require greasing. Should the bearings wear out or fail, they old bearings can be pulled out/broken out, and new bearings fitted. The bearings are a common size and readily available.

The part no. is 60012RS. RearWishbone or’P’ Bushes
1. Prior to installing the bushes, they need to be filled with grease. They come with a light coating of grease from the factory; however this is insufficient for long-term use. A grease nipple islocated on the outer facing chamfer of the bearing housing to fit a standard grease gun. If you don’t have a grease gun, slide out the bearing inner race, and generously apply grease to the bearings manually. The bearings will require periodic greasing, the frequency of which depends on how much you use the car and the operating conditions. Greasing every 2-4 months should be sufficient for most situations. Should the bearings wear out or fail, they can be replaced by removing the complete assembly from the wishbone. The bearing part no. is HK2214RS. A press will be needed to replace the bearings. If the bearing inner race is worn I have a number of spares.
2. Make sure you orientate them correctly, as the existing bushes were. The top-hat section of the inner bearing race (the bit that fits over the wishbone spigot) should face towards the back of the car.
