mate ugh, explain what forearm and back arm or what ever you asked is.. most "lower control arms" are tappered, and require tapered bushes.. there isnt reall much to it, take that swirly pin thing out, might need a big screw driver, or a crow bar, and lever it out of the lower arm, (i had to) and umm.. fit new bushes.. it isnt a hard job in the end :wink:

Are you talking front or rear?...if its the front are you going from std to mod'd?....if so do you require longer caster arms etc?... it all depends on what you are trying to fit

The `fore arm' (called a tie bar) has a rubber bush in front of and behind the bracket on the subframe. The nuts are done up TIGHT to the shoulder, they are not designed to let you adjust the castor by leaving them loose...!

The lower control arm has 2 rubber bushes at its inner end. Early cars (850 etc) up to 1966 I think, have a plain hole in the arm, with shouldered bushes. Later cars have a hole that is tapered both sides and takes tapered bushes which have a steel insert in them.

Poly bushes are available, but I find the originals last well anyway. 8)
