Naah bolt on job, especialy if you buy it with it's base complete, but try see if it's got any play in it first though.

Granted, it might seem tight when your prodding it by hand but once you have a 1750kg Landy exerting force on the components it can soon start to clonk. Sometimes a pry-bar is a good idea to see what will move excessively under force.

Park it on the flat, lie under it and have a mate roll it back and forward a bit while you watch all the bushes and joints. I have the same problem, if I roll the Landy back and forward I can hear it clonking away. I will work out exactly what it is soon, I suspect the A-frame bushes or ball joint.
