Im going on 40k miles on the polybushes on the control arms in my LR3. Greased the shit out of them and they will definitely be easier to remove replace than the stock bushings were when the time comes again.

I can beat Rover's North's price!

The doorman arms are also available at Amazon. A little more than Rock Auto, but if you've got prime it works out to be cheaper overall.
Another takeaway point. Make sure you have an alignment scheduled. I made a very conscious effort to make sure all hardware went back where it was originally but I had to fight the steering all the way to the dealership to get an alignment.
And make sure they can set the steering angle sensor after.
There is no reason to calibrate the steering angle sensor unless the steering wheel is not straight after the alignment. It is calibrated with the steering wheel straight. When the alignment is done, the steering wheel should still be straight.
You had your upper ball joints out to replace the lower control arms?
I released the upper arm from the knuckle when I was trying to figure out how to get the axle out. This is what happens when you just start taking shit apart without reading a manual.
