AX rear suspension

[avin44]

I have an AX that needs the rh side rear suspension, (bush), changing as the wheel is leaning in and rubbing against the body on the inside and before tackling the job I was just wondering if any special tools are required to remove or re-fit this item, has anyone on here done this job, I'm sure there must be a few by now and any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks.

Not entirely sure but there's some good info on AX rear suspension here, well Saxo really, but same thing.

the usual fix for most of the PSA toursion bar suspension is fit a good seond hand rear axle, if these axles have got to the stage your has, you will more than likely find the shafts that the arms fit onto have irepairable damage, were the arm/s have worn into them

i had an AX GT with this very same problem a few years back, the car had been lowered about 30 - 40 mm and i thought about repairing it but was cheaper to get a second hand rear beam from a scrap yard and then having the suspension lowered again. I think the beam cost about £50 and all i needed was a few hours worth of work to remove the old one and refit the new one.
