Hi.
Want to get all my rear bushes replaced as over a year ago dealers told me to get them replaced.
Question is do I get the bushes replaced or the whole arms? Am I right to say there are 4 arms in total (2 rear upper and 2 rear lower)?
Changing the bushes only seems a lot cheaper (but also hard work). How bad can the arms get or are they that strong that just changing the bushes will do?
Lastly if advised to get the whole arms replaced where would be the cheapest place to get genuine arms? Discovery 3 HSE 2007

If you have access to a 10t press and heaps of time, buy the bushes.
If you don't have access to a 10 t press, buy the arms.
I replaced the top rear bushes earlier this year, it took about 2 hours to do both arms,
But I was lucky enough to have acces to sockets that perfectly pushed the bushes out.
If I did them again, I would purchase new arms with the bushes already installed.

You should consider changing the knuckle joints as well if they haven't been done in 10 years.
