Learn how to change the wishbone on a Ford Fiesta. Lift the car using a column lift and loosen the wheel nuts with a telescopic spanner.

Use a socket wrench to remove the lower securing bolt of the wishbone and the bolt mounted under the wheel hub, then remove the bolts from the upper arm (as shown in the video). Use a pry bar to detach the wishbone from the bolt seats.

Always compare the old parts with the new ones; if they are suitable, you can install them. Insert the wishbone into both ends of the guides and begin tightening all the bolts onto the threads (attach the wishbone to the wheel hub and the other end to the chassis).

Double-check that everything is securely tightened.
