Is there an order to replacing the bushes on the front suspension
Also does anyone know of a mechanic in the ross-on-Wye area that could do the job.

Order....?

Must....cut off the spot weld that holds each bush in place.
Press in the two new bushes being careful not to damage them.
Spot weld each in place.
refit.

Requires Camber & track adjustment after rebuilt as everything will have moved (marking and refitting in the same place does not ensure the geometry settings are correct)....and you only realize months down the line when your tyres become badly worn on the edges.
