not bad just three bolts really. two arm to subframe and bottom ball joint. only tricky part is they should be torqued up with the weight back on the wheels

did you torque up the bolts with the car on the ground or just do it in the air?

I doubt renault torque them up with the wheels on the ground, i'm pretty sure it's all done before it's actually on the car. I wouldn't worry too much about this step, i've put a few sets on my car all with the wheels off

just doesn,t add pre stress to the bushes. pays your money takes your choice.
