Yet one more squeaky front end posting...
Minor pushing down on the front bumper produces annoying squeaks, so I'm guessing the Wishbone/Torsion tube bushings are pretty much shot. It's an '85 which I've owned for 20+ years without touching anything suspension-wise, so they're no doubt originals.
I searched here for squeaky front ends and read through a dozen or more threads on the topic. Some had photos of the culprit bushings, and one of the threads even complained that all the threads as well as the Dempsey "How-to" articles showed replacing the bushings once disassembled, but there was nothing that discussed step X step procedures of how to drop the suspension parts from the car in the first place. The Haynes book is useless, and I don't have a Bentley.
Would someone tell me if the Bentley has a decent how-to procedure for this, or is doing it pretty intuitive once you slither under and start unbolting things. I'll buy a Bentley manual if it's got a Step !, Step 2 kinda guide or is really needed, but would rather save the bucks if it doesn't have much detail. If anyone knows of a thread here dealing with an easy way to remove and replace the suspension parts, please give me the link(s).
