Xsara front suspension arms

Hi all,
Another daft question from a Xsara owner.
At MOT last year the tester noticed that the front suspension arm bushes were starting to perish.
I've got some brand new arms complete with bushes etc off Flea bay.
It looks a straight forward unbolt & replace job.
Any pit falls to watch out for please ? Its a 1999 Xsara1.9D no ABS etc

Providing you have all right tools, axles stands, etc it is a straight forward nut and bolt job. When you have the lower ball joint disconnected, be careful not to pull the hub assembly and driveshaft out too far, especially the nearside one as you may pull it out of the differential.

Once it is all back together, do not forget to get the wheel alignment check and adjusted if required.
