ARB bushes don't fail that often and usually resuld in creaking noise going over bumps if they do. Drop links on the other hand fail quite often and give ratling noise. OEM are quite expensive I think about £40, aftermarket can be anywhere £5-25, cheap ones don't last long, maybe 1 year <10k miles, more expensive like Meyle HD only last for 2 years even if they have 4 year warranty. Changing is pretty easy, best if you have 4 post lift but can be done on driveway. If doing on driveway you want both sides to be lifted up so that there is no tension in ARB when changing them and you need to remember that bolts need doing up when you have car weight resting on suspension. If tightened up while car is in the air it will twist the rubber when you put weight on them and cause them to fail prematurely. This is where 4 post lift comes in handy as you cannot get to bolts with wheels on the car and car on the ground. I just put some wooden blocks under suspension with the wheels off and release car weight on them to do up bolts.
