570 Lower Arm Bush....

[macca54321]

Hi- anyone had any experience of lower arm bushes starting to split on 570s Spiders?

Car is 2019 with 15k on the clock, under warranty and this got pick up in annual service. Hoping the warranty covers it - but wondering what others have experienced?

Thanks- Sam

Front or rear?

The car I was buying, creaking from the front upper arm suspension bushes over bumps was picked up at PPI (at McLaren Hatfield) and recommended replacement of both arms.
It went back to them to be done under the current owner's warranty.
Hatfield then said they couldn't reproduce the noise, so couldn't replace under warranty - the noise seemed to have gone away, possibly was just a symptom of disuse and after a few more miles back and forth it was fine.
So they weren't changed, and car hasn't made any creaking noises in my ownership and ~3k miles since.

Bottom line I would expect them to be covered by McLaren extended warranty.

Thanks- its on the N/S/F - which assume means near side front!

Yeah front passenger. Should be covered by the warranty

Yea, one of mine went at 4 years / 5K miles.
Technically, I don't think bushes are covered under the warranty but this can be circumvented by claiming for the whole arm including bushes.
