The following was listed on the m.o.t sheet
'Nearside front (rearmost) suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement'
'Offside front (rearmost) suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement'
Now I have been advised that the Lollipop bushes need replacing. Is it easier to buy the housing with the bush in it already or take the current deterioated bush out and replace just that.
I want to tackle it myself so easiest way please. Is it worth mr putting a wanted ad up for the housing and get the bushes new?
Steering rack had slight play as well so that's gotta get changed.
