My mk2 seems a bit light on the back when turning in at speeds. Does anybody think worn bushes could be the cause? They havent been picked up on the MOT or is this just how mk2's handle  :grin:

Drilling it is easy, I used a bit that was the exact gap between the inner and outer sleeve - so when I started the drill, it caught both surfaces, rotated around the centre and removed all 360 degrees of rubber in about 5 seconds.
