I just got some new front tyres, Goodride, and I asked the bloke to have a look at the bushes.

He told me both the uppers and lowers are rooted and showed me how much movement there was. He told me it might be worth replacing the compete arm instead of just the bushes.

He said it is easier to replace the whole arm instead of just the bushes so i would save money on labour.

So the question is, do i go for a complete set of Vlamos bushes for the front, or replace the whole arm?

Dean, get a price for upper and lower control arms from Toyota, then make a decision.
Myself.. I went down the Vlamos road, and I am very happy with the result.
I got rid of the Nolathane lower bushes, replaced the uppers and did the steering rack bushes. Did some other stuff as well.
