Realize this is an old thread...however, am getting ready to do same job on my 2000 WS. Haynes manual says that subframe bolts need to removed and subframe lowered to allow stabilizer bushing bracket to be removed. Is this absolutely necessary? or is there sufficient clearance for the bracket bolts to be removed? Will be doing bushing and both links in a oner. Have been hearing a clunk noise for a bit and had thought CV. But upon closer inspection, found both lower links to have split boots and rusted out cups.
Thanks in advance for advice. |
