I want to change a few bushes as the car is feeling a bit vague on the steering, and wonders / needs lots of small corrections when driving in a straight line. Is anything easy to do at home, ARB drop links etc?

Or just better off giving it to a garage and asking them to change the control arms/ball joints etc in one go?

Also the metal link rods on the rear suspension can be rotated side to side a bit with slight movement in the bushes. Is that likely to be adding to the vague steering feel

cheers

Personally I'd get a garage to do it, plus some tracking before and/or after. It's something that needs to be spot on, otherwise it'll just drive you mad until you go and get it sorted. Learned to drive in 2011.
Bought a Micra - great little car
"Upgraded" to Kia Sportage - hated it
Proper upgrade to FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k
Reconditioned diff at 70k ish
Sold at 84k and now on a DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental

And make sure the tyre pressures are spot on...... Regards

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

Tyres have been pretty good, not had to top them up for a year. Got ATs on and they seem pretty tough. Hadn't thought about tracking. Drove a car one with the tracking badly out and it was hard to keep straight

Sorry, I should have been clearer - I'm not suggesting tracking is the issue (although it could be), I more meant when the garage is working on it, get them to also do the tracking. Learned to drive in 2011.

Is it best to buy the complete control arms with bushes and ball joints rather than replacing bushes etc? Bearmach are doing the control arms complete for 120 quid a side. That should be quite quick for a garage to bolt on?

If I'm thinking of a lift kit then good to do it all at the same time?

If the control arms are coming off is there anything else worth doing like track rod ends and drop links?
