My 99 Fiat Punto Failed the Mot and on the test sheet the Description of the problem is {Axle and Wishbone Bushes Worn}I went to a motor factors and showed the bloke the mot sheet and he gave me the two bushings needed but when i look under the car i cant see where they go.Any body got any pics thanks:bang::bang:
 
with respect if you dont know where the bushes go you havent got much chance of fitting them. Combined with the fact that if/when you take the wishbone off you will probably bugger the balljoint boot you would be better buying a whole wishbone, much easier to change the whole unit and if they are original or very old probably makes sense anyway.

(if indeed it is just the wishbone bushes that need changing)

he is talking about the rear not the front.

99 could be mk1 or mk2. if it is mk1 then it will be the rear radius arms, a very common problem.
