    D3 front control arm rubbers

    G'day Fellas
    I am looking at the purchase of an SP tool to replace the front lower control arm rubbers and I'm confronted with a choice as to weather I need the full master kit of "dies" or just the kit for the front lower. Has anyone ever had to replace any of the other ones beside than the front lower.
    Cheers

    If the difference isn't great then it might be wise to get the dies for the others , it will pay in the long run.

    Are you pressing out the bushes or replacing complete arms? What is the rule of thumb with regard to the rear arms wearing out? Is it a km thing?

    Are you in WA Shane?

    Im just doing the complete arms for now, but Im keeping the old arms. When/if the time comes to do them again then I'll rebush the old arms an install those. I guess every vehicle is different on how long the bushes last depending on how they are used. Im in WA, but in the Pilbara
