| New Disco Owner: Front Arm Rear Bush Deteriorated |
|
Hi,
My first post...I am so sorry if this has been asked before!
Just brought my first Disco 3 - great car, love it! However, just been in for a service and the garage reports back:
"Front Arm Rear Bush Deteriorated"
"inner track rod OSF slight play"
"Inner track rod OSR slight play"
Looking on the old MOT's it's also had the following advisory items:
001 Nearside front (wishbone bush) suspension arm has slight play in pin/bush
002 Offside front (wishbone bush) suspension arm has slight play in pin/bush
I presume the advisory's in the old MOT relate to what the garage have said / above?
Looking through the forum this is quite common (the car does weigh allot!)
any friendly hints on what parts need replacing?
I am a competent "DIY" person and love working on things (have built various motorbikes)
Is this a sort of thing I could do at home? any thoughts?
Am I best to order an after market ARM / bushes? are the better than OEM?
Sorry about the questions, love the car and sadly getting excited!
Simon

Not the most difficult job
I got the RR ones from advanced factors
You will need to get a 4 wheel reallignment after fitting
Do the control arms at the same time and it will feel like a different car There is no I in team, but there are five in Individual Brilliance

Have a look here,
http://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/front-sus...-139-c.asp
gives you an idea on prices (its good gear from Top forum sponsor  ) Do a search on here for guidelines, make sure you mark the bolt positions to assist in reassembly prior to 4 wheel alignment, also be advised the rear bush bolt will almost certainly have seized and require cut, that being said, it's not a bad job and very DIY 
If you get stuck or you're unsure, just ask on here, help will come 8)
