Cinquecento/Seicento changing front suspension arm bushes

Once I was happy with the bushes in both wishbones, it was time to refit everything to the car. Basically it's the reverse of removing everything. I found it easier to place both wishbones into position and start the bolts just enough to hold it in place before going round tightening everything up. When I was fitting the wishones back to the car I found that both front bushes did not want to go into the gap easily by hand, so I got the jack out and applied a little bit of pressure to the wishbone directly under the front bush, they went up no problems. I was carful to watch the axle stands as well so that I did not lift the car off them and end up with it on the floor.

Next I fitted the Anti Roll Bar back onto the car, I needed to remove a 19mm bolt, the one that goes through the Anti Roll Bar bracket and the bracket holding the rear bush in place.

Next was the two 13mm nuts that hold the rear of the Anti Roll Bar to the bracket that wraps round the rear bush. Then I bolted down the Anti Roll Bar down onto each wishbone, it was easier to place the jack under the bottom ball joint and help raise the wishbone a bit, to help remove some pressure on the bolts/nuts.

The last thing I had left to do was the ball joints that connects the track rod ends to the stub axle. Refit the wheels and you are sorted. Take it easy with the car for a bit, as you have just took half the suspension apart. Check your nuts and bolts after a few days of driving to ensure nothing had came lose with vibrations, if so sort it.

This is what I did over the course of a few days, took my time over it as well. I would suggest that this job might be easier and quicker with a spare pair hands. When refitting any nut or bolt I was forever using copper grease as well.
