You will need to remove the a-arms to change the bushes. You'll want to remove them anyway just to make the job so much easier. If you have the original bushes on the car they take some moving. You can cut them off, but I just burn them off.

I agree with Alan.

It is possible to just drop the a arms and x member down to do it..but really you should replace the balljoints too..which means a total strip.

The powder coat or paint etc etc!

You will not regret doing it right, and doing it once..

kind regards
