Video tutorial

In this video, see how to replace the front suspension wishbone on a Citroen C3. Lift the car on a ramp and remove the wheel, then undo the bolt next to the brake disc and place a hydraulic jack underneath it for support. Remove the two nuts on the opposite side, take them off with a punch, and using a lever, pull out the wishbone.

Clean the mounting surfaces with a brush and spray. Insert the new wishbone using a crowbar for alignment, insert the new bolts, and tighten them using a torque wrench set to 85Nm for the points on the chassis and 50Nm for the joint.

Apply copper grease to the nuts and hub, clean the brake disc, refit the wheel, and lower the car.
