Default Changing Bottom Arms - Any Advice?

Morning all,

The front end of the '8 is starting to knock over uneven surfaces, had a play with a pry bar and the front end, lower rear arm seems rather slack, so I think the bottom arms need replacing. I have paperwork to suggest the upper arms were replaced earlier in the year prior to my ownership so it's them or ARB.

Are the bottom arms a job I should be attempting and can achieve on the driveway? Am I going to run into pinch bolt issues or anything like that? Any advice appreciated!

Thank you,

Ben
