    LRA LCA bushes

    After my Britpart LCA bushes have failed in less than 35K, I'm due for new ones.
    Has anyone used the Les Richmond Automotive bushes? They are supposedly heavier duty but don't affect the NVH. I'd be interested in any reports on NVH and longevity.

    I have fitted the OEM arm with bushes about 40k ago and have no problem.
    The old arms I have fitted new bushes which I bought from Island 4x4 as OEM which had Lemforder brands. I believe they are the manufacturer of the Land Rover original bushes. Please correct if I am wrong.
    I have avoided, like the plague, the Britpart branded items due bad reports on this site.

    Avoid Britpart like a STD!

    Pay the little bit extra for proper bushes.

    Or, fit RRS lower arms, they have a different bush design that is supposed to be better wearing.
    I have RRS lower arms on mine, been on 16 months without issues.

    $132 each and they tell me to use them in the rear position and OEMs in the front.

    They are pretty expensive, I can get the OEM Lemforder bushes for $40 each so I'm reconsidering.
    With these bush removal tools now available the job is a lot easier. I have to add up the cost of my labour, the inconvenience, and new bolts to see if it is worthwhile.

    About $300 for Lazer or $1200 for Sykes tool
