United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Westminster 4.4 V8 Santorini Black
Rear toe control arm replacement

Hi - I am working through refreshing the suspension on my 2012 TDV8. To date, Ive replaced the rear air bags, struts and hub bushes. I am about to replace the rear toe control arms (other names track control arms / link arms), I've bought the arms, replacement nuts, bolts and washers.
I usually like to watch a video / read a guide from someone that has already done the work to see how they overcome issues like rusted components etc. but cant find anything specific on this job. Does anyone have any tips or guidance on the replacement?

Thanks

Tom

It's an easy enough job to do but the steel bolts will more then likely be seized into the aluminium centre of the bush in the toe control arm. I've replaced them on 2 different cars now and have had to cut them off on both cars so ensure that you order nuts and bolts when you order the toe control arms.

On both of my L332's I had to use a hacksaw to cut through the nut on the hub end joint in order to be able to remove the toe control arm. Other than that, iirc, straightforward unbolt old and bolt on new. .
