I ran a search but I couldnt really get the answer im after.
Today after a roadworthy inspection i am to replace the rear upper control arm bushes.
My question is, would I be able to remove the arms and get new bushes pressed into them / buy new arms with bushes or is it a fairly technical job? Do the arms even come out from under the car lol? Would be easier to just pay someone to do it? I haven't really gotten under the car to have a good look yet but I'd like to know if its worth attempting anything.
Any help is appreciated

its easy mate, just take them out, only 2 17mm spanners, and take them to a suspension place and get them to press new ones in. or if you can get hold of a press, easier. put the pedders solid rubber ones in.

You can get reconditioned replacement arms with fitted standard bushes from Pedders, or reconditioned replacement arms with fitted Nolathane bushes.

Cheers guys, I decided to order some adjustable whiteline arms. I'll have a crack at wacking them in myself, probably get a pro to set them once I lower the rear again
