The tool is for the ball joints.
Did you have any problems with the anodized pieces fitting in? I have a couple that don't want to snap in and I don't want to force them.
For my front upper wishbone, the bolt goes through from the rear side and I think the steering rack gaiter is in the way to remove it. Did you have to separate that ball joint to get the wishbone free? I think if the bolt was on the opposite side I could remove it without disconnecting it. I'm considering putting it in the opposite way when I reinstall.
Thank you for posting these videos!
Great idea with the drill, will remember that for future ref! Is the car finished now?
I have 2009 Elise, my rear wheels started to show when driving in low rpm, I feel like bumps every 2 seconds, is that symptoms of bearings worn out?
Are you replacing urethane bushings with bearings or did your car have bearings to begin with?
Happy birthday!
Liking your videos man, cant wait to see her finished.
I wonder if the rose joints that you are using will make installation back into the chassis as difficult as the urethane bushings were for me. Both rear wishbones are very difficult to reinstall, the front upper a-arm with the caster shims is the worst of them all.
