Hello all, I am looking at replacing the ARB bushes on my 2010 5.0 SC due to the dreaded creaking in hot weather, I noticed that my ACE front pipes are very scabby and am thinking it would be easier to do all at once with the body lifted but the repair kit pipes listed as part no.LR014592 as you will all know is unavailable, however when looking at the kit for the 2005-2009 (part no. RQA500018) the pipes and all parts look exactly the same, does anyone know if they will fit a 2010?

So the answer is yes if you get the flexible pipes that attach to the front anti roll bar replaced to accept your old fittings. Coet me £90 at a local hydraulic shop.

I'm in the same boat with this. Car has been off the road for a month and can't find a lr014592 to save my life. Could I get a bit more detail on how you resolved this please? I'm not quite clear on what you had your local shop do. Cheers,

Hi I ordered part no. RQA500018 , this has the right connections at the block and the two to the cooler at the front, you will need to get a hydraulic shop to swap the hard pipe sections from your old pipes that connect to the ace bar onto the new pipes. This involves some cutting and soldering so I was a bit nervous but it turned out fine. In the pics you can see the finished set to show the shop. The other pic is the two sets before the swap. Get the shop to leave one side of each the fittings loose so that you can fit them first and them tighten them as the angle is important and this makes it much easier.
