Clean the inside of the arm.
Reset the press to install configuration
New bush was sprayed with silicone spray
Wind, adjust, wind, adjust etc until bush is home...
Use new bolts, refit shock/bag assembly and torque to 300nm. Fit new concentric bolts and mildly tighten (don't fully tighten yet)
Refit wheel assembly (repeat this for both sides)
Lower vehicle to standard height and let it settle.
Crawl under and final adjust the concentric bolts using the paint marks and tighten to 275nm.
Test drive!!! Then book an alignment ASAP.
Here's the culprit for my knocking...
The bush had a tear and was leaking fluid hence no damping.
In summary...
Yes, it can be done with a jack and a pair of chassis stands, and a few tools.
It would be even easier with the above and a set of ramps for the last phase.
It would be fantastically easy on a hoist!!! Which is now being expedited in my case!
