Xj8 2000 how to install upper wishbone bushes on a xj8 jaguar 2000

Torque settings Working on your car means you have to torque parts up when you fit them. Using correct torque levels is very important. Bolts will be tensioned when torquing up. Always use a torque wrench when installing parts on your car!
Too much tension means the bolt will be stressed too much and can ultimately break.
Not enough tension means the bolt can either run loose or it can move around. This will damage the bolt and it's brackets. This can ultimately also lead to catastrophic failures.
Only use 8.8 grade bolts in suspension applications. (wishbones, dampers etc.) 10.9 grade or even worse 12.9 grade bolts are hardened.

The hardening process will improve the maximum possible load on the bolt, but it will also make the bolt relatively brittle.

Within suspension parts, you would rather see bolts bend than sheer. 8.8 grade bolts have the tendacy to bend, any hardended bolts have the tendacy to sheer.
Below is a guideline to the torque levels used on Metric bolts.
Bolt grades are printed on the head of the bolt.
Bolt Size 8.8 10.9 12.9 A2-70 (Stainless) 6mm (M6) 9Nm 13Nm 14Nm 7Nm 8mm (M8) 23Nm 33Nm 40Nm 17Nm 10mm (M10) 45Nm 65Nm 70Nm 33Nm 12mm (M12) 80Nm 115Nm 125Nm 57Nm 14mm (M14) 125Nm 180Nm 195Nm 16mm (M16) 195Nm 280Nm 290Nm Note than when fitting bolts into Ally threads like rivnuts, manifolds and S1 uprights then the torque may need to be reduced.

Special note for Mr. Wiki - This is the thread size, not the head size.

a Jaguar?
where are your hands? what wishbone. (lots of parts can be called that , and common for suspension, is it suspension? why not just say./?

First of all you must locate the oil leak if is from top rocker covers, timing side crank front oil seal,rear crank shaft oil seal? Is it from the oil filter?,or is it from the front lower wishbones inner bush. That bush is filled with hydraulic fluid,and most probably that is your oil leak..If is from that bush the thing you do is just to renew the wishbone.

It's the upper control arm bushings. Had the same problem. You can get the whole control arm for about $30 and up. Looks like a wishbone and the rubber bushings work themselves loose and rub on the frame.

most likely be the wishbone as renault dont normally supply the bush you might be able to get a non market one but dout it

if its got front wishbones change the bushes or the hole wishbone which ever is cheapest

Most bushings are a press fit. If you do not have a press and you have a big enough vise, you can sometimes use your vise and a large socket. Best way if your trying to save money is to take the parts off yourself and have a shop swap out your bushings in the control arms then just put the arms back on yourself. Hope this helps...

could be shock absorber rubbers

you have to put the wishbone on 1st, the ball joint nut on and the front one den guide it in the hole and use a big lever with plenty of wd 40 and it will go in, i jus did one the other day, i had to change dat rear wishbone bush which was a nightmare to do

Not sure if bushing is replaceable but usually when the bushing is worn it is a sign that the front mount is worn, placing excessive load on the wishbone
