Mondeo front bushes

Right, I've decided to try and sort out all the infamous bushes on the
front of my Mk.1 Mondeo.

From a quick look, it seems like the swing arm bushes all need
changing, as do the anti roll bar bushes.

The ARBs don't look too bad (but fiddly to get to).

The inner end of the swing arms goes inside the chassis rails, so even
if I undid the bolts they'd still be held in by the rest of the
suspension. Do I need to split the ball joint to get them out? Pull the
driveshaft?

What's the best way? (Not the HBOL way, I don't fancy basing it on
'whole car strip and rebuild'...)

Just change the whole bottom arm on each side. They're a whopping £18
each at my local motor factors.

Split the balljoint, undo the two bolts, rive it out. Hardest part is
getting the balljoint pinch bolt out.

I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

Yes, it's a spamtrap. Feel free to use it, I *will* see whatever goes to it.

(As a few seemingly reputable companies have found to their cost when
sending it spam... amazing what a well written email to their legal
department explaining the meaning of 'email harvesting' and 'Spamming'
can do...)
