Replacement of Front Wishbone Bushes

Model: Skoda Fabia 6Y, Mark1 - Years 1999-2007
Part: Bushings

The failure of the rubber part of the damper (silent block) on the wishbone of the suspension is a common issue, especially for vehicles that drive on snowy or icy roads treated with salt during winter: therefore, it is always advisable to lubricate all rubber components before winter. In any case, you can purchase a repair kit consisting of a bush to fit into the aluminium support: to carry out this operation, you will need to prepare a type of puller made from a threaded bar, washers of appropriate diameter, and the corresponding nuts.
