Under the car, but you should really use axle stands even if you were to access them from the sides.

Hi
Done mine not long ago can be done easily from the side if its the fronts just need a ratchet for the lock nut and an allen key to go in the back of the bolt to stop it turning mine passed 3 mots and never got picked up. Paid a fiver each at GSF.

For the cost of them it'd be worth doing both at the same time!HimBigChief wrote:Adam, are you not on about the droplinks and not the actual bar bushes?

Uploading pics directly to the site doesn't work very well. Open a free account at www.photobucket.com and upload your photos there; you can link to them here by using the IMG tags
