Hi folks, my job for tomorrow is to change the front ARB bushes, I did the rear last week with no problems and the droplinks all round, my question is, is the front the same/ as easy as the rear?
Many thanks

No on the front you have to drop the subframe to get to the nearside one - at least you do on the 7th gen petrol.

yes just looked both sides, the rear bolt cant be reached, sub frame has to be dropped. So next question is how hard is it to drop the subframe?

Don't know sorry, never done it.
Do you need to or will changing the drop links solve the problem?

Don't drop the subgraph off.
Just lower it on the bolts and then get at the rear bolts on the brackets with a universal joint
Not a hard job at all

It is a fair bit of effort to drop the subframe (had to do this to get the sump off recently)... so hopefully Jake is right about not needing to.

Beware keyboard warriors with this sort of job...why not PM Giles direct and ask if/how he did it.
