I am thinking about replacing the front lower control arms on my 2012 LR4. Does anyone know of a video or tutorial on completing this replacement? Thanks for any input.

Thank you Azoo, I was unaware that I could change out the bushings only. The service shop told me that they had to replace the entire arms because bushings could not be removed and replaced. ANy more information would be greatly appreciated.
I think most dealerships just try and change the entire LCA when the bushings go. Primarily, for more $ and also, less hassle removing old bushings. My dealer replaced my entire LCAs when mine went.
My dealer did the same thing. Their reasoning was that this replaced "all" the bushings at once, and since it was under warranty, didn't cost me anything additional.
I'm sure they were excited to bill the whole replacement instead of just bushings...
Had a 2006 LR3 HSE which needed new bushings as the oil-filled ones were leaking out. Dealer recommended to replace whole LCA based on cost comparison of pushing out/in new bushings alone versus simply R&R the whole LCA which was significantly less labor cost/hours; therefore said we weren't that far off of just getting all new LCA.My dealer did the same thing.
