Sir Fallsalot Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Changed the lower suspension arm on the daughters car this morning. When i said i'd do it for her it was after watching a YouTube video, it looked an easy job, jack car up take wheel off undo 3 bolts remove suspension arm fit new arm do up 3 bolts fit wheel on and lower jack easy but no my daughters KA is different to the one in the video i watched as there was a big lump of metal bolted to where the one bolt i had to take out was so it had to come off as well took me 3 hours and it was fucking freezing I had to unbolt the front bumper to remove that lump of metal luckily every bolt came undone without any problems. Saved the daughter £108 in labour oh wait it saved her £178 because i paid for the part as well 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
