I pulled the rod and bracket out then fitted the two together and then put the lot back into the car, a bit testing and great to do one stinking hot day, but I found it easier to do the job out side of the car and then put the lot back in, while you have it out check the rest of the bushes and replace them, you can buy a complete kit on Ebay from Europe for about 30 to 50 dollars. Mine is so sloppy it is ridiculous, so it is the next job on the cards.
