    An excellent guide, thank-you. The sequence of getting the arm back in (back, front, etc) was particularly useful.

    Top job as always mate, totally make sense changing the whole arm for an extra £15 that’s what I normally do it as well... I need to learn the air filter trick 😊🤣👍👍👍

    Nice, thoughtful, diligent work👍✌️😊
    Drop links seem a perennial problem these days, we had two Hyundais that needed them replacing under warranty and again at 30,000 miles, we swapped them out for a German brand in the end over the OEM parts. Hyundai's and Kia's seem to suffer from broken coil springs too (regardless of mileage or abuse).
    What was the state of the subframe on this car, do you remember? Seems like certain territories have bad rust problems on Swift subframes?
    Thanks✌️👍😊

    Around the 12:11 mark, you replace the front horizontal bolt.... But your video cuts out the important bit. When I try replace Tha bolt I find nothing to screw into. Is the nut inside loose? How do you fix it on?

    can the sway bar mount bushes for the front be done on this without dropping the engine? I noticed them there on the engine frame, I have a similar swift and it needs its dbushes n right control arm done, some sources say you have to lower the frame some don't, I don't understand why, doesn't look that difficult to get in there

      If it doesn't look that difficult, then go ahead and do it

    You're a bit of a jobsworth, some of what you're doing is really unnecessary, no need to take the caliper and disc off, the fact you've used the gun on the drop link nut made the shaft spin, the vibration released it from it's taper, little bit of release oil and work it back and forth by hand and it will come off, and jacking up the suspension arm to tighten the bolts up absolutely ridiculous, the Bush is inside the rubber it ant going anywhere.
