An entertaining and comprehensive look at removing and replacing rear suspension arms on the Discovery 3.
At some point you’ll need to replace suspension bushes and probably want to know if you can do it yourself on your drive. People will advise that you change the entire wishbone and not just the bushes. This humorous little film I made in the summer of 2017 shows all the ins and outs of what to expect when tackling this as a DIY Mechanic. I replaced the rear brake pipes and hoses, the toe links, drop links, knuckle bushes and the upper and lower wishbones, which came with polybushes preinstalled.
The part most people struggle with is the rear upper bolt, which is often rusted in place and needs cutting out. Mine was no different as the nearside rear upper mounting bolt would not come out. All I can say is that I took everyone else’s advice and used a reciprocating saw. I wouldn’t like to try an angle grinder, as I can’t see there being enough space to get to the bolt, the space is tighter than it looks in there. The nearside wasn’t nearly as rusty and didn’t require cutting. Another problem is the nearside knuckle bush bolts. Mine were rusted solid and needed a combination of cutting and heating up with a blow torch. But you’ll see all this when you watch the video.
For your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
