Rear suspension bush... big job or not?

[lewic]

Have been told that one of my rear suspension bushes might fail the MOT next year (July). Is that a big job, or can it be done as part of a rear shock absorber replacement?

Have improved the handling immensely with two new front tyres, but the back end still bounces somewhat, so am in two minds about getting rid of the car or keeping it!

you will just new new shocks on the rear to stop the car bouncing, tbh if youve got the money get all 4 shocks changed, monroe reflex shocks are great and will tighten the loose body up a bit, look in my signature to get a price on the shocks from proven products

Is the bush part of the shock absorber, or something separate?

 

[Fordy]

the shock absorber bush will come with most/all new shock absorbers

Aha.. thats useful! Will get it done when I can spare the cash.

yep if its the shocker lower bush it is part of the shocker.... had a look at mine and there is a grand total of 10 rubber bushes on the rear suspension
