G'day all,
I was wondering if the radius rod bushes (the front ones that mount to the chassis) can be changed easily, or is it a major job involving taking the control arms and everything off?
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers.Russ.
P.S. I will get a workshop manual for it eventually, but I need to find a good one, I had a look at a gregorys one, but I dont really think they are that good, can anyone tell me where I might be able to get a more comprehensive one? I have heard ellerys are a good one, but I have never seen them in any shops? advice on this would be appreciated too!

Hi Russ,
I have only looked at the HQ - HZ and VL Ellery's Manuals and they are an absolute load of garbage. They have LOTS of wrong information in them and they don't even mention important bits of the car. Gregory's Manuals have much better accuracy

Or you could ask nicely on here for scans of the relevant data if someone has a factory manual & won't mind doing it?
