Lower Arm Bushes - Dead

[RickyZ]

So I had my car serviced today and unfortunately on the health check they noticed the lower arm bushes have failed. Anyone know if I can buy the bush set or do I need to replace the whole arm? Here's a video to show you http://www.citnow.com/av241230224

yes you can. Couple of the traders here sell the bushes or you can get them off ebay

[RickyZ]

were you getting a rattling noise from the car over uneven roads? currently suffer from rattle myself, everything i've read suggests its the compression arm bushes, but want to be sure before i fork out £200 to replace them!

Compression arm bushes are a common fault. I had the knock on uneven ground and replaced the bushes with the super pro kit. However it hasn't cured the problem. After reading the forums it sounds like it could be the ball joint bush on the compression arm. This part isn't available to change on its own so a whole new arm may be needed.

hmmm, will try and get up on a ramp to see if i can identify whether its the compression arm bush, the ball joint, or maybe even the front lower arm bush

It usually very difficult to establish any sort of wear or movement in the joints / bushes as you can not re create the weight of the car going over a bump on a ramp.

yeah get a knock now and again over speed bumps and potholes

Wow what great customer service with the video!

 

Genuine bushes £28 delivered from the US if the traders can't sort you out

if your bush has fallen out like on the video then you will be eating front tyres check your inner edges. I went through a set in 4k when mine was like that.
