Hi folks,

one of the jobs I've never done before so any tips welcome?

New polybushes to go in throughout. Everything is freshly painted so ideally want to keep it that way

when i put it back into my old escos, i used a rachet strap to pull the 2 ends in far enough, you will need a hand or 2 as it can be tricky and good heavy rags to protect the fresh paint, my car was up on a ramp so it was abit easier to manage.

When i fitted mine i used a ratchet strap to bring the ends in, but you will have to protect the new bits by using cloths and rags etc.

Edit: As above...

I have never needed a strap, with the car supported so both wheels hang free place a jack under one strut, as you lift it will find a point where it puts the arb end closest to the tca hole allowing you to pull the bar in, of course leave out the metal sleeve until the arb is through the hole(tca), then afterwards bolt back up to the chassis mounts.
