Exact words are (track control arm bushes) Bonded suspension unit deteriorated and cannot function as intended.

easy enough job to do. just make sure you use a big ratchet strap on the ARB so it doesnt spring open when you release the lower arms, otherwise its a bugger to pull back in. just make sure you fit it all the right way round, one side at a time, 2 hours will see it done.

When they collapsed on my Sierra, I got some poly bushes and the local garage put em on for not many beer tokens. Far better than struggling myself. They have all the gear so it must only have taken them 5 minutes or so.
