Just found this vid. Got to do mine tomorrow, on a 2006 Swift. Your commentary really made me smile after the bad news of its M.O.T fail. Looks like a job I should be able to do. Good video and well explained in a humorous way. Keep up the good work.
...you are correct. Do not tighten before aligning the arm to driving height. If you don't, it will place stress on the arm bushings and they will prematurely fail. Great job, thanks
That was actually super helpful, I watched other videos as they seemed clearer but actually you nailed it, it's the sequence of installing the new arm that made it a breeze, some cursing prior to that! ;)
Great vid, thanks! Not that I was going to do this myself - just came here to ask: Is it normal for this part (the ball joint part particularly) to be broken after 1-2 years? I'm starting to get sick having to constantly have it repaired. It is always at least 100€ per side including work. Otherwise I love that car, it's just this that pisses me off.
I’ve had mine replaced both sides. Now the right side makes a loud creaking / knocking noise when turning and pulling away. What had the mechanic done?! He keeps telling me the bolts are tight. When I spray with silicon spray near the ball joint bolt, it stops for a while
I've just done my Alto and the only extra bits I had to do was remove the plastic undertray around the auxiliary belt area, and disconnect the track rod from the steering arm to give me enough space to manoeuvre the arm to get the rear bolt in. Thank you, really helpful video.
It s more expensive to change the bushings only,than the whole wishbone! There is always the danger to bend or damage the wishbone with the press! That's why everybody change the whole piece!

If the front of the car is facing downhill do I still block the back wheels...
Great video, although my balls(joints) were tighter then yours and I struggled to get them in. Undoing the two bolts to the shock/hub helped

Can the bushing and ball joints be replaced individually instead of the entire arm assembly?

Would this be similar on a 2013 Suzuki Alto, and would you use the same position for the axle stand ? Thank you.
You can use this tut for an alto, too.

@@PDPPerformance I already have.... 😁

Is it necessary to change the whole piece? Is it possible to replace only the rear bushing?
If you have an industrial press it is possible
