The saying that Land Rover has been making mechanics out of drivers since 1948 is not in jest.
Given time, you will be good at it.
Today I was down at my dealer, (and I would recommend him), but I did have to convince him that we both would be better off if he replaced the complete lower A Frame assembly on each side rather than just replacing the lower ball joints.
To me, it was more a question of his guys, on each side, just undoing/cutting three bolts as opposed to to much hammering and banging and then undoing/cutting three bolts.
I am gambling that while parts may cost more, labour will be less; the dealer wins regardless and I get all new lower A frame bushings etc along with new lower ball joints.
I am fortunate that I do have a good local dealer, as to the north, the next closest dealer is in either Iceland or Greenland.
