Title: rear bushes - rear end movement
Post by: fudy on 08 August 2010, 16:30:05

I was driving to work this morning and breaking down from around 40 to turn right, when i applied the brakes there seemed to be movement from the rear of the car pushing me to the right! i have noticed this before but never so bad!  I know the car was used for heavy towing by the previous owner, so could the rear subframe bushes be causing this?   

 ;D just noticed what title i gave the thread!!
