Why not unbolt the rear carrier first and grease the threads when refitting, better for the future and easier to replace wishbone?

[@Mixbag]

did this not long ago on a mazda.i did both sides. the bolt was sized inside the bushing.so bad i had to cut the bolt out with a participating saw. one bolt snapped on torque up to spec so i had to replace all bolts too as the rest became loose over time even tho they were at correct torque . i used blue locktite on the new ones and all is good now. one thing to note thought you torque bolts up WITH load on the front wheels otherwise your bushings can tear and squeak

Dziękuje za filmik, co prawda nie znam angielskiego ale wszystko widać jak na dłoni. Bardzo przydał mi się ten film i zmobilizował mnie do wymiany wahacza samemu.

Thank you so much for this video guys! Haynes want you to take the hub off with associated nightmares :-. . One very stuck balljoint bolt but got it off with a ton of pb blaster and heat - and on the other side, a co-operative bolt but needed a fork type balljoint splitter to separate the wishbone from the hub. Never underestimate the leverage of a 6ft pipe on the end of a spanner. All in all though a productive weekend that I wouldn't have attempted without the vid. cheers!!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

diveandy68 glad you enjoyed it mate thanks a lot for watching

[@chrishemphill3684]

Thank you for all your videos! You saved me so much time and everything is exactly as you describe. Great work, look forward to more cideos

[@LarsGTV6]

Superb - and I like it - and to mention: You save me my money. Keep on the good videos.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

That's what it's all about glad you saved some money and enjoyed the video

[@keithfletcher5788]

Thanks for video changing both sides on my Freelander know what to look forward to now

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Boom sorted

[@zedman442]

Nice work buddy. No nonsense mechanics, I get times like that when I just need to get the job done. I'm not a mechanic by trade but do a fair bit of work on cars. To make my life easier I take the bushing off only a couple of bolts compared to the 6 ;-)

[@adrianrankin-maclean8335]

Thanks made a daunting task fairly easy!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

thanks mate

[@allanmitchell2410]

Hi, I have a 2001 Freelander and your videos has helped me a lot. I just tried to replace my wishbones yesterday and on one side I just could not remove the wishbone from the carrier. The one you managed to get free by hitting with hammer. Ended up just ordering a new one from eBay. Only thing that gets me with your videos is you call both nuts and bolts, bolts. Maybe you do this on purpose like calling a Landrover a Jeep. Keep up the great videos.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Hi mate I'm glad they helped you that's what it's all about thanks for watching

[@chukaka4994]

Love the videos and would love to see your bolts turning even if it is boring. It's what we are going to go through doing it. Nice quality videos and audio thank you sir!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

chukaka carpetdragon hi mate thanks a lot I do sure a lot of it in my videos but I cannot show it all as as you can appreciate video in 4K trying to undo every single nut and bolt the videos the memory the editing just would take too long if I ever come across anything but I always turn the camera back on to give people an idea what they might come across

[@davidmeale9572]

A good informative video.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

thanks mate

Thank you mate glad you enjoyed it

[@4WDIESEL1]

good one

[@chrishemphill3684]

Do you have a video on that control arm tool you were using in the Freelander wheel bearing video? Is it homemade? It is so slick

[@madbouy]

thanks mate

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

no thanks you mate

[@nw8000]

Hi Bodgit, I just replaced my low arm because of a bad ball joint and I could not have done it without your Video, Many Thanks Bud :-)

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

I'm glad I can help mate that means a lot to hear that thanks for watching and I'm glad you're getting your hands dirty lol

[@nw8000]

Just watching the tips on putting the brakes back together which I will do tomorrow. Thanks again.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

anytime mate glad I can help

[@brettdavis3921]

Leon where do u take your cars for tracking because I took mine to kwik fit and they put it on different ramp so I asked why they did that and they told me it's a 4 wheel tracking machine that need to be done on a 4 poster ramp is that true but I know 1 thing is it was not cheap but as long as my tyres dont wear like that again its money well spent they reset the amber and caster witch were both 5 port side knots out

[@niallburnside7227]

Great vid buddy … tech question … if you replace the whole unit (both sides) do you need to redo the tracking? Cheers boss.

[@jaraisz06]

Of Course you have a 2005 Freelander :)) is the same car that you work on it and made it famouse :))

[@walsh7008]

at 6:33 that bushing you lubed up that you had to pound the rod out of. What is the bracket that holds that bushing up called? Im trying to find it online but cant

[@vansien]

you forgot the large washer on the rear bushing, great explanation though. to all the doubters, he is 100% correct in that practically all garages do the short version of fitting stuff. if there quick way with a little persuasion then that the way it's done. time and money folks.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

correct I did forget but I did go back and put it in well spotted thanks for watching and get your hands day I always go back and double check my work just to make sure I have not forget anything I spotted that when I double checked in another one of my videos I show that that I went back and checked and that problem always good to double check everything

[@vansien]

+bodgit and leggit garage no worries, I was sure you'd have checked and fitted it off screen. love your vids and your explanation of the works you do, your honesty is so refreshing, great work, keep it up.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

+vansien thanks mate much appreciated thanks for watching to it does mean a lot

[@Badgertronix]

Nice work. I thought it looked similar to a Ford Focus and of course it is near identical!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

hi mate yes most wished bones really are kind of the same to do in most cars

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Good job Leon. Regards tracking on the Freelander its even more important as not only will it destroy the tyres but over time the IRD , VCU and rear diff could be affected as is the case with many 4 wheel drive vehicles. SORRRTED!!

[@patrickkerr7006]

hi mate great video just one question where did you get them long closed end spanners from

[@patrickkerr7006]

also did u put the 4 13mm bolts back in for the frame 😊

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

+Patrick Kerr hi mate them spanners are gearwrench and yes I did put them back but forgot to film it thanks for watching get your hands dirty

[@patrickkerr7006]

+bodgit and leggit garage lol thank you and great video pal

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

thx mate

[@nw8000]

Hey Bodgit can you put this in the land rover freelander playlist please? Thanks Bud

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

nw8000 just done it mate this one slipped through the net

[@nw8000]

No problem. I forgive you ;-)

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

nw8000 hahaha thx you

[@areyouundoingthatorwhat9181]

You should never tighten a non roller type bush perpendicular to suspension travel(as in that front bush)until the car is sitting on its wheels and at correct ride height,as you have all ready pre set the bush at a different angle,leaving it then torsionally loaded in its working position.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

💪👍

[@scottaner500]

I say it's it's better doing it with the wheel on cos you can use it as a lever against the strut

[@scottaner500]

and drive shaft

[@julianbingham3999]

Hi I got a bit confused at the end - are you saying replace wishbones as a pair?

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Yes mate always best to replace both sides in fact it's always best to replace all four corners for example if one wheel bearing goes all the others are just the same age and just about to go but I realise it all comes down to money but if you want to do the job properly you have to replace both sides all four corners just replaced everything

[@julianbingham3999]

@@bodgitandleggitgarage Cheers for that, watching you this looks like I could have a go myself so much appreciated

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

@@julianbingham3999 yes mate it's easy enough just make sure you check it up properly and have axle stands make sure the car is level the usual safety stuff also you'll definitely have to get the car track after you do anything with the suspension

[@STRATULATTT]

Зачем менять рычаг в сборе если можно поменять только шаровую

[@aytonbob]

What do you expect when he calls nuts bolts and bolts nuts lol

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

We all make mistakes very easy to sit there and watch something and judge people without doing it yourself

[@fubar12345]

WD40 to lube a bushing.. better to use silicon spray no?

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

I cannot use silicone spray as I do bodywork and painting

[@comeinhandynow]

Oh dear, that poor scratched alloy wheel at 5m30s. Otherwise good.

[@DJRyanJamesUK]

Jeep🤢You do it on purpose now Im sure 😂. Anyway that Bush ive has to replace after I crashed mine into a curb at 40mph (drifted at the wheel). All the metal came clean off! I did this job myself. Is it worth doing the other side too or not? I rounded one of those long bolts on the otherside whats the solution? Also this happened before the accident everytime I pull off I get a loud click and can feel it on my pedals. Its like something has play in it? Its not CV joints they’ve been replaced could it be a wish bone? Also since the accident my steering is on the piss. Tracking ok,Track Rod ends replaced could it just be that with the impact the steering wheel physically is out of line?Thanks matey great vids

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

djappnew always best to replace everything on both sides

[@chuberlubbersteve]

oh hell no he didnt just call it a JEEP!!!! :@

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

chuber lubber oh yes I did because that's exactly what it is lol

[@chuberlubbersteve]

ouch. it hurts to hear lol great vids btw

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

chuber lubber lol thanks mate

[@davidmeale9572]

The thing on the end of the ball joint is a fucking NUT ...not a bolt .

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

sorry

[@5rgs17]

It's a frigging nut not a bolt!!
