VW POLO 9N3 Lower Arm Bushes

Just had MOT and lower arm rear bushes need replacing. Garage wants to replace the lower arms and the wishbone suspension brackets(think thats what they are called) which contain the bushes. My question is does all this need replacing or can be just replace the bushes?
Thanks All

It says that it is coming from Amazon Eu and Eu products may vary from UK products. As he is spending 130 quid on the item I just wanted to check if there is any issues buyi...

Re: Engine light lambda sensors

Error codes off scanner are p0031 and p0037. Seems to signify low voltage on sensors. So same error codes coming up for old and new replacement sensors. So I am thinking there is a fault on either the ground or 12V to sensors, possibly blown fuse on 12V feed. Anyone know which fuse? Or any other tho...

Re: Engine light lambda sensors

Changed battery as it kept going flat. Local garage reset codes and just said it was for front and rear sensors but did not tell me codes. Have kept old sensors as well and soaked in petrol overnight in case have to put back in.

Engine light lambda sensors

After replacing battery engine light came on, error codes for both lambda sensors. Replaced the sensors for new ones from eurocarparts, got the error codes reset at local garage however the light has come back on. Anyone got any ideas on this one.
