New wishbones, how to?

[JAM11E 10]

Hi all,

 

 

I am I'm need to changing my wishbones/control arm bushes, rather than replace just the bushes I will buy some new control arms too.

 

My question is, does the sump need to be removed to gain access to the bolts holding the control arm in place?

 

I've recently replaced sump and gasket so I would rather not remove the sump for the job.

 

Many thanks

Just loosen the engine mount and jack it up a little, don't go mad, just lift it enough.

assuming its a vr6

Correct, thankyou.

 

I'll get soaking in wd40 for a few days then
