Great video! I wish Ford would have used bolts instead of rivets in the first place. Instead of using an air chisel, could you use a grinder to cut or grind down the rivets?
Otherwise the bushes on the lower wishbone will be pretensioned and war the bushes out quickly and leave the car sitting high on the side that has ha the bushes tightened with no car weight applied. Schoolboy error but if you don't ask, you'll never know 😉😉
Thank you. I was stumped before I watched this video. Luckily I had all the tools

Well heck, my 2012 Focus SE doesn't even have rivets! What a terrible design...
