2001 Astra wishbone replacement

Further to my last post wanting a wishbone, I've now got one, suprised really only £20 new.

A question about fitting, is the bottom of the suspension leg a pinch bolt arrangement onto the ball joint? also any other fitting quirks, it does look fairly straightforward.....

Bottom ball joint is a pinch bolt. Knock a thin chisel in to loosen it.

The back bush has 2 thin tin dowels up the hole to locate it. Bit of a pain to align and if it's been changed before don't be surprised if they're missing. New 'bone should come with replacement ones unless it's a really cheap one.
