Be careful not to strip / snap your lower wishbone bolts in the process, big job to rectify if you do. Mine were solid and gave up trying! Didn't want snapped bolts to get sorted...
I will be careful - give them a good soak in WD40 then use big breaker bar to apply gentle but effective pressure.
They are big bolts - so hoping should be ok

+1 mine makes a right racket.. It least it shows its working I suppose.. it would only make noises if its put under stress
I thinks its even got a few loose bits of weld in there too so it sounds like a pair of bloody maracas

+1 to the knocking/tinging noise coming from the rear brace.
I think I may cut a small circle of rubber and place this between the bottom of the brace and cup that it sits on/in to see if this cures it.

thats a good idear
Mine was making a squeaking noise when 1st fitted, took it out & squirt WD40 on all mating surfaces before assembling again, not made a noise since.
