Hi everyone. Just had an MOT advisory on the integral bush on my NSF Control Arm and I was wondering if anyone has ever done a replacement themselves rather than leaving it to the garage? A new "LR Trade Parts” RANGE ROVER EVOQUE & DISCOVERY SPORT FRONT LOWER LHS SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM N/S is a very reasonable £79.95 as opposed to several hundred £s from JLR and if I can do it myself I’d be very happy to give it a try. Then again, if the consensus opinion is to leave it to the trained mechanics, I’d also go down that route. I must admit that having failed to find anything on YouTube that might help, I’m inclined to think it might be too difficult to do on the drive. Looking forward to hearing from the Forum members and, if anyone can recommend a local independent JLR specialist in Shropshire, I’d be very grateful.

The arm Itself locates simply on the subframe, two rear bolts and one front bolt. They are stretch bolts and single use so get new ones. Also disconnect the drop link as I think the anti roll bar locates on the rear bolts.
The difficulty will be the hub pinch bolt. They can corrode in place. The manual
says remove the brake caliper lower bolt for access and replace with a new one also use a new pinch bolt.
Maybe worth trying the pinch bolt first, if it’s free should be an ok job.
