Suspension Build - Bush Installation

Job 1:  Unpack kit.

Job 2:  Build suspension.

This is how I did it...

Firstly, I fitted the bushes into the wishbones.  I don't have a vice, so opted for a different method - threaded rod, nuts and some hardcore washers.  Using an M10 threaded rod, I locked 2 nuts at one end then used the washers to keep everything square and true.  I smeared grease on the bush and made a nut, washer, bush, wishbone, washer, nut sandwich like this:

 And then wound the bush in using a ratchet and spanner:

After both bushes were fitted, I then measured the overall width using some calipers:

Then filed down the crush tube to match the overall width and squeezed it in using the same method.  This was repeated until all of the wishbones were fully loaded.
