the problem on the near side front lower suspension arm is that one of the bolts won't come out because the gearbox is in the way. Loads of garages just chop the bolt and insert it from the bottom instead of the top, rather than take the subframe down or lift the engine/gearbox. Problem is, if the nut comes off, the bolt can drop out and it's goodbye time....if the nut comes loose and the bolt is in from the top then at least the bolt stays in place. Dropping the subframe is a doddle...just line it back up with the clean part as said above.
