Could someone tell me if the front lower arm on a x type awd sport needs a complete replacement or just replace bushes. Plus what about the rear upper and lower arms? I need to replace the front bearings, so thought i may aswell replace what i can whilst the hub is off. Im amazed how cheap and easy this car is to work on.

Hi Mike,

I'm guessing as I do not know much about the X Type. Generally though all suspension arms are designed to accept bushes and unless the arm itself is showing signs of heavy corrosion / impact damage or the bush housing has been damaged or appears worn it should only be necessary to fit new bushes.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Steve
