Creaky lower control arm needs replacement

Hello,

I've just diagnosed a creaky lower control arm on my GT3 Mk2. The vertically aligned bush at the end had a split. Has anyone got any instructions, gotchas, torque settings etc that could make this job easier?

I've got the replacement arm and all nuts and bolts due in the next few days so I'd like to be prepared beforehand.

Many thanks,

Damian

You probably only need to change the inner section of the split arm. Not sure of the toque for the split sections but check a chart for that size bolt. But before you tighten the bolt that connects the arm to the car it should be siting in a weighted position. Hope this helps...
