Wish Bone Suspension Removal
 
I need some info on how to remove the wish bone suspension from a 95 240sx on the rear left side because mine cracked and i have to replace it. Thanx!

look at it and undo the bolts... or maybe down load a FSM

Ya how hard is it to take off its 2 bolts max. Unless your going to take off the sub frame then its 4.

There is a bolt at the very bottom of the wishbone suspension nearest to the rear left tire with a nut on it and a pin through the bolt. when i removed the pin and the nut the bolt did not move in any direction. I couldn't remove the bolt. Anyone have an idea of what to do to remove it. I heard from a friend that u need a special tool to remove a wish bone suspension... is it true? ....and what is an FSM?

ball joint type, like thr front. You need a special fork-shaped tool to get it off, go to Autozone and rent it for $15 (fully refinded); it's a tight friction fit like the front tie rod ends... that's why even if you remove the cotter pin and the top nut, it won't just drop out.

Check my garage guide article on "changing tie rod boots" to see the tool I'm talking about... link is in my sig, or search the forum for the thread :thumb:

Or hit the ball joint with a rubber mallet.
