Help & Advice please. I have a 1995 "old type" Cabriolet - 2.6 V6. The rubber bushes on the lower front suspension "wishbone" have completely gone and must be replaced. Is this a DIY job ? On the face of it, it looks fairly straightforward as the lower ball-joint can be unbolted from the "wishbone" and the two inner bolts are reasonably accessible. However, I can't tell how easy it is to get the bushes out and install new - is it a job for a hydraulic press and specialist tools, or can it be done with 50% common sense and 50% large hammer? Would it be possible and/or easier to buy a new "wishbone" and bushes and just replace the whole lot ? All advice gratefully recieved. Cheers.
