Fiat 500 (2012) Wishbone Bushes &Washer Bottle motor fitting. Bushes fit method without a Press

I am replacing the wishbone bushes on a 2012 Fiat 500. To do this i need to remove the bumper and a few structural parts of the front end to get to the bolts that hold the wishbone on. Camera work in the first 4 minutes bit noisy, but settles down :-). I don't have a press to put the new bushes in but show a work around. Only for entertainment and not meant as a how to video so all you experts out there, this is just for my own video log.

Love how ill happily strip anything down on a car but always tentative when it comes to bodywork for some reason 😂

Great video, my daughters Fiat 500 has just failed on virtually the same items plus both front shocks, I left it to the Garage due to having disc problems in my back and having watched this I'm glad I did, poor design when you have to take most of the front end off just to get at the wishbone bolt . Kids car choices eh!

Getting the rear bolt of the wish bone to align was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Working in 100 degree F heat. Ran into all sorts of problems with bolts along the way. Long day.

I was thinking it's a miracle they engineered such a small car, but also a tragedy. I have the right side wishbone to do now, I'm going to limp it to a mechanic and pay.

I am wondering do you have to rotate the bushing rubber axle to specific angle because you did not mark old one direction. Otherwise great job.
