Default Rear lower control arm bushing.

I recently was able to replace my rear wheel bearing which solved my noise problem. So I can’t thank the group enough.
While I had everything apart I noticed my lower control arm outward bushing was torn. Everything I have found shows using a chisel and beating the outside of the bushing ring into submission.
Honestly I was hoping to replace them without removing the entire arm from the vehicle and avoid getting another alignment this year. I do have a 12 ton press but was hoping to use a clamp style screw press.
What are your thoughts or recommendations?
Chazz

that’s awesome I didn’t even consider checking the price of the entire control arm.
Thank you

Many X150 suspension parts are manufactured by LEMFÖRDER:

Once you have the part number, items can be sourced through their distributors at considerably less cost than having them supplied in a Jaguar box!
