My replacement lower control arms and assorted hardware just arrived and I'm scheduling the install with my indy shop for this week.
The advice and experience I heard here made sense to me-- that by the time you pull everything apart, it's just as economical to replace the entire LCA assemblies versus putting new bushings in the existing LCAs. That's my plan.
Question along those lines: Assuming the current LCAs come off in good shape (don't have to be torched or cut off, and are not deformed), does it make sense to hang on to them in case this repair is required again? In that case, maybe new bushings in the old LCAs and then a swap would be in order?
My 2011MY LR4 has 75K miles. I'm pretty sure this is the first LCA service it has had. Maybe that means that the next LCA service is far enough away that this is not an issue for me.
Thoughts?
