405 estate rear suspension collapsed
#14
there are no bolts in the boot for these, they are all underneath, make sure you clean the torx bolts thoroughly if you try to undo them.

on the front mountings there's two Torx bolts holding the long stud to the body, I would try to undo these rather than the big nut as the stud usually gets seized inside the bush.

on the rear mountings you have two 13mm bolts holding the bush to the beam, or one torx bolt for which you need something like a 120mm long T50 torx bit to remove the bolt holding the bush to the chassis.

best bet for a replacement beam is a partner or a berlingo beam, however they will need some lowering before they go on, my brother's 405 went up about 90mm when we fitted a van beam to his GLD!
