Yeah I can't get the tapatalk search to work either.
I think if you're getting your mechanic to do the work it'll cost you more in labour to get bushes pressed than to just replace whole arms...
Hey guys.
My 2011 D4 is in the mechanic shop and he has confirmed the noise is the control arm bushes.
I know this has been covered to death but the search doesn't seem to be working since the site upgrade.
How much should I expect to pay for these to be fixed?
Also, should I be replacing the whole arms and ball joint or just the bushes? The car has just hit 100,000km.
Any advice is appreciated
Thanks

Replacing the lower control arms is very easy. I bought a pair from the UK and fitted them, also the sway bar bushes as well.
The old arms I bought the bushes and ball joints, and now I have a set of arms ready to go for next time.

Hi eddy
Thanks for the link!
For others info it works out to be $500 including postage for both arms with bolts, bushes and ball joints from the UK.
TR Spares in Aus will do the same for $790 including delivery.
However on eBay it looks like you can get the D4 ones as low as $400 incl delivery from the UK.
Eddy, Can you explain the RRS one, is it a direct fit and is it stronger? Any down side?
And are all D4 arms the same fit? Ie no change with the facelift model as mine is a 2011
I'd be double checking those cheap arms have genuine bushes and ball joints.
Check out the Advanced Factors link you will see the RRS arms have a larger ball joint and the bushes are OEM Lemforder.They were a straight swap on my 2011 D4,in fact easier to fit due to greater articulation of the ball joint.In my case it was the hydrobush that had too much play in it although there was no sign of fluid leakage.If I had a Laser 6180 tool probably would have replaced them with Super pro bushes and accepted,maybe a less smooth ride.Steve at AF advised the Super pro bushes would be cheaper from OZ sources so I bit the bullet and went with the RRS arms.Easy to fit,especially if you have the use of a hoist, seized bushes/bolts do not seem to be a problem here,as we do not suffer salted roads as in the UK.Your call,but for the sake of $100,I guess the freight is about the same,go with reputable supplier.
Luke,
My LCAs need replacing soon and the cheapest price I've seen is from Island 4x4: Lower Suspension Arm Front LH D4 With Air suspension (Landrover) LR073369 LR0719 Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order.
That said, for the sake of saving $120, I think I'll buy local and not have to worry about damage in transit (and hassle from subsequent claims), not to mention getting them immediately.
Cheers,
Rob
