LOWER SUSPENSION ARM - please help!!!!!!!

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by The Devils Advocaat, Nov 5, 2006.

  1. My 205 1.8 GLD just failed the MOT due to both lower suspension arms
    having bad bushes - I bought two new arms as it was cheaper, but I
    can't get the bloody things in! The bush at the end just seems to be at
    slightly the wrong angle and I can't get the bolt through. And it's
    well and truly jammed now from trying unsuccessfully to get it in.
    Anyone got any suggestions for freeing it and is it meant to be tight
    and will go in eventually or havei got a bad part or something? Please
    help - if I don't at least manage to get the old one back in by
    tommorow the car will be towed by the council.

    Did you get those arms in?? i done two on a 405 and it was a bit of a
    sod to do, then some one walking past me said put little grease on the
    ends and it will slide in. he was right it worked,
