Rear beam bush replacement time?
« on: 21 June 2013, 15:34 »
hi guys,

ive noticed when i hit a bump or hole with the back left the car goes into a wobble, do you reckon this could be the bush has worn? is there a simple way to test this?

More likely the rear shocker.  Easy test is to have someone (bigger the better) jumping/bouncing on the tailgate opening. Rear bush will back, bouncing =shock (visual check for leaks also) HTH
