Fluid leaking from lower control arm bushing
I am afraid that I know the answer to this question, it appears that the rear bushing on my front passenger side lower control arm is leaking fluid. The bushing is likely shot. Time for new lower control arms. 2006 Range Rover sport hse 40,000 miles. Only has about 25,000 miles on the LCA. What is the current recommendation, oem, aftermarket. It doesn’t seem cost effective to simply change out the bushing. I was hoping that it was just the sway bar bushing..........nope. Thanks. Looks like I will be doing lower control arms on the Sport and the LR3. Phil

I went with the britpart lower control arms along with new hard ware. I have 20K+ on them and they are doing great. Some prefer to go with the polybush but I have heard more than once they make for a bit of a harsh ride

We have tried Britpart, Eurospare, Hudson, and Meyle.
The failures have been random. From my observations, I think the advantage of Genuine is the quality control. I believe that it is possible for all of the before mentioned suppliers to make good products, but the consistency of quality is lacking.
My last set of LCA on my rig lasted less than 14K miles. I do offroad, but only a handful of times a year.
