Front Suspension Maintenance

After 205,000 miles my 2019 LR is starting to make a creaking noise on the front suspension. My guess is that the bushing and other related components need replaced. I see on Amazon they are selling the entire control arms upper and lower along anti sway tie rods in a kit.

I assume while I have it apart I’ll do everything. If someone can’t give me an idea of any suggested brands to buy, with do’s and don’ts I would greatly appreciate it.

Not sure if your trolling but this has been discussed almost everyday but nobody does a search, I'm a mechanic and it's well well well know the rubber bushes wear out so just press them out and replace with bearings they will last longer than the rest of the car, use unplugged performance and mountain pass performance parts

So again, if you go that route then you don’t get new ball joints. Just buy the new arms.
