Main Dealer only wants to replace one bush - DB9
Discussion
2007 DB9 in for service at main dealer. 2 year warranty just about to run out.
One of the front wheel bearings had gone, so they tried to replace under warranty.
Bearing was seized so they has to knock it of and in the process bent a suspension arm. (All over the phone so apologies of the description is not all that).
No problem, warranty (AM) will cover the new suspension arm.
The dealer mentioned on the phone they were also changing a bush. It seems the bush is integral to the arm.
I said .... you can change one bush without changing the other. Nice man, went off to ask, engineer says this is OK as the bush is of high quality and AM factory guidance is that changing one side is OK.
My view - you should change both sides.
Would appreciate the forum view.
