How to Replace the Wishbone on an Opel Corsa

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa D - Years 2006-2014
Part: Control arm

If you have arrived at this page, you have probably noticed that the ride has become unstable, with uneven terrain causing noise, tyre squeal, or uneven tyre wear. This is a job you can do yourself, especially by following this brief guide. Lift the vehicle, ensure you are working safely, and remove the wheel. Undo the bolts, one towards the brake disc and the other two towards the engine. You can then free the worn part from its seat. Now insert the new replacement, taking care not to damage the bushes. Before tightening the bolts, it is good practice to pressurise the dampers to at least 50% of their travel. Refit the wheel and check the alignment.
