Am I right in thinking it bolts onto the front of the wishbones?
It bolts up between the wishbone front mounts You remove the wishbone front mounting bolts, and then refit them through the brace.

I'm presuming the wishbones are straight, how difficult a job to straighten them if not??! I guess then I'd have to get wheel tracking adjusted again afterwards :scratch:
You do not disturb the suspension geometry when fitting the brace, so there is no need for camber or tracking re-alignment.

Of course if the wishbones are bent or the bushes are worn, it makes sense to replace them in order to get maximum benefit. In this case you would need to get the camber and tracking re-aligned.

I wouldn't bother trying to straighten a wishbone as they are relatively cheap.
