Has anyone just changed a Front lower arm rear bush or do you recommend changing the arm.
Is there anything special in changing the bottom arm or is it just unbolt - hoping they come out

Have a search on here, loads about it, most change the whole arm as you will most likely have to cut the rear bolt to get the arm off, the bolt seizes to the inner metal of the rear bush

I bought all new bolts for mine, and the bloody old ones all came undone!
Top tip is to measure centre of bolt head to a point on the chassis, then adjust refitted bolt to the same measurement, it will still need a 4 wheel alignment, but this will keep you mobile.

Watching post with interest. I need to do mine shortly before the MOT in Oct. Hoping the bolts will all be removable.
The rear bushes on the front arms were replaced when I bought it back in 2016 so fingers crossed. I've already changed the struts and drop links so only the front bolts could prove stubborn
