I was having my wheel alignment done and the bloke said a bush in the rear suspension was worn and should be replaced (I'd do both sides).

 

It was the lower bush in the round (circular) metal part which fits over each rear shock and sits around it - if that makes sense?

 

Is there a diagram anywere?

Thanks, that's excellent.

 

It's not simple is it! (Either that or I am!)

 

I think it's this bit (see arrow). Do the rear shocks pass through those?

Yes they do.

Cheers gents.

 

I think it was the lower end of that circular piece the shock goes through.

 

The bloke doing the wheel alignment thought it might be easiest to replace the whole metal part, not just one bush.

Well he's talking rubbish mate. You would have to replace the entire hub carrier for one bush!

 

Just get them pushed out and replace them with poly ones. You only need to take the wheel off to get access.
