Default Front wishbone bushes

Hi 5 owners,
Has any one had the front wish bone bushes replaced,(lower big round bush)
just checked ours out in the local garage and they will need replacing soon is it a common wear item? our 5 is a 2.0 sport (u.k) 45,000 miles on the clock,is it an easy job?
thanks

The Dealer (after many hours )has come up with "it's the front anti roll bar bushes" put on order will not see car back until next week !
The front wishbone bushes are worn but enough to replace.?
I now have to call mazda uk and see if i can they(can) will replace under warranty (the anti roll bar bushes are covered ) under the 12 months used car policy
