Its easy enough to remove but you will need to set up the suspension again
I would order some more of the bolts aswell as when removing mine the thread got damaged removing the nut and the dealer had them in stock as this is a problem they have
They are only a couple of £'s

I assume you mean the lower control arms? Make sure you get the new part number. Check with TLO. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

I was diagnosed with this problem by my LR specialist today (as he was unable to do a wheel alignement for me).
How to tell? When the wheel is unloaded, you will find that you can move the rear of the control arm left and right, which indicates stuffed bushes. Undesirable when you consider the same thing is happening under accelaration/braking, plus god knows what is ahppening to the alignment!
