easy enough mechanically and nothing heavy. watch out for subframe bolt nearest fuel vapour pipe thats held in place with plastic clip thing. the bolts go into captive nuts and i managed to break this one free, had to cut through the chassis in the end and weld it all up after.

i replaced my rear brake lines with kunifer ones while i was at it, something to maybe consider.

rear toe is adjusted by bolts holding two furthest back control rods to subframe. i just marked the position and refitted no uneven tyre wear yet.

i just cut the rubber bit of bushes out then gently hacksawed the outer metal sleeve. new poly ones are doodle to fit.

took me a wee while as i painted every thing up.
