Seat Ibiza - Video tutorial

Model: Seat Ibiza 6L - Years 2002-2009
Part: Bushings
Operation: Replacement of the oscillating arm silentblock bush

The failure of the rubber present inside the suspension arm bushing is a fairly recurring defect but it is possible to remedy it without replacing the entire oscillating arm but only the bushing (there are also reinforced or silicone ones). To replace the bushings, however, it is necessary to have an extractor; start by removing the swinging arm of the suspension by first unscrewing the pins of the articulated head connected to the wheel hub and then those fixing the engine cradle (obviously supporting the car on special stands). Once the oscillating arm has been removed, use the special extractor to remove the bushing from the engine cradle and in the same way insert the new one, lubricating it to facilitate insertion. Once the bushing has been inserted, reassemble the swinging arm: it may be useful to use a ratchet strap to insert the arm pin into the bushing.
