Wobbly rear end (the car).

Post by stevenlizuk »

I have a wear issue at the back end of the car but can't seem to find much wrong.
When hitting a bump I get a knock from the rear of the car and the whole of the car's arse shimmies around.
All of the main bushes seem to be ok but I don't know how much movement they should have for reference.
I'm thinking that she shockies might be worn but could do with some clues.
Are there polyurethane bushes available for the estate?
Any ideas?

Cheers

Steve

I'm sure Welly had something similar many moons back but I can't find anything :frown: Might be worth waiting for him.

Polyurethane bushes? Hold on, no, still the 406 owner's club (fat chance :( )

I've seen them for the 306!
Ever hopeful.
