Good job. I think this is a job thats creeping up on me in the near future. Knowing my luck, I'll probably find it a pain like you did.


i think i may of caused some of the problem myself as i removed both of the control arms at once (still new to range rovers ) so i think if you only remove one at a time you wont have as much trouble as me ,going to be doing the other side in the next few days so will let you know

Did you remember to tighten the bolts with the weight of the car on the ground and not in the air. Shouldn't creak really.

Yes, that’s OK, as far as the car is concerned it’s at normal ride hight.
It’s to prevent torsion (twisting) of the rubber bushing being pre-tensioned by the weight of the car, causing the bush to fail early. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?
