Title: Suspension bush
Post by: bighed on 10 January 2009, 21:12:03

Once the last job (*%$#@!&^) had been completed i thought i would look at the cause of a banging noise coming from drivers side, rear suspension. Once the wheel was off the ground here was quite a bit of play in the wheel. My mate has diagnosed it as the bush that sits up to the right hand side of the wheel just under the body of the car.

Does anyone know the name of this bush? Can supply pic tomorrow if required. :y

This is a pic of the arm that the bush is connected to. The wheel is the rear drivers side one on my estate. Bush sits between arm and chassis  :-/ :y
