I Have noticed a knock when braking hard, suspect worn bushes.

I have to do the front / back ARB bushes

Any recommendations on control arms etc. Looking on Ebay at the whole kits for the front.

Question is are these £120 kits rubbish as i suspect ??

Or is it worth just doing the main bushes ? Also what ones are the main culprit ?

Cheers

It will be one of the lower arms (there are 2 - front and rear) you need to get it on a ramp to see which one has failed, may be worth replacing both at the same time

Use Lemforder arms from ECP, they make them for MB. Cost is about £80 each so £160 per side
