I have a slight knocking noise whenever I go over a bump or rough
ground. I have been told it is worn bushes on the lower front arms.
Is it a big job to replace these bushes and can I do it myself ?
I do most jobs myself if no special tools are required.

Hi Maurice, the easier way is to replace the whole lower arm with the bushes already installed, its an easy job to do, get a haynes type manual(local library) it will take you through the job step by step, the only special tool required would be a ball joint splitter, when you have replaced it have the tracking checked
