I’ve currently got a an issue with my drvier’s side front wheel – the first 3cm of the tyre is badly scrubbed on the outside, rest is fine

This is almost certainly because the tracking being out, but there is also a slight vibration when going round shallow corners on the motorway, so possibly a contribution from worn suspension components.

Having replace the front passenger side lower are approx. 2 years ago due to knocking and a similar slight wobble, I’m thinking it’s time to do the driver’s side as well.

I believe in preventative maintenance and putting the car in the garage, even for a day, is a hassle, hence I am thinking of doing a full suspension refresh in one go.

The car has done 101k miles and I’ve previously been advised the rear upper and lower bushes are worn, so I’m thinking:

Front – upper and lower arms, ARB drop links
Rear – upper and lower arms, shock absorbers (these feel worn so thought I may as well replace)

After that, I’ll get my four new Scorpion Zero’s fitted (currently in the cellar three weeks after purchase) and a proper 4 wheel laser alignment.

I’m no expert, so will have missed obvious bits which should also be changed - suggestions please on what other components would you change!

On the front upper arms (by which I assume you mean the track control arms) I'd also get the separate ball joints replaced. Bit of a PITA to do, but definately worth doing.
Would also get the track rod ends replaced on the steering rack, this will also help as the tracking will be done when they're replaced.

On the rear, I'm assuming you mean the upper and lower bushes, rather than the arms. Make sure you get new 'cam' bolts and 'cam' washers for the upper bushes, again will help with the tracking.

At the rear, no harm done by replacing the toe control arms also, this also means a new eccentric bolt and washer, but will also help with better tracking.

Not worth (the considerable effort!) replacing the inner wishbone bushes at the rear unless you detect any play. .

I'm doing the lower arms and track control arms on Saturday due to MOT failure, I would probably have done the upper hub bush as well, but haven't got a suitable bush puller set.

Got a great price on the kit thanks to Dan.
