Ian Barrett Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Evening all. I was swinging around under my Ninety and found my rear trailling arms have movement at the axle end. Both have side to side movement and one has vertical movement. I suppose I can squeeze the brackets by tightening the bolts to get rid of the sideways movement but does the vertical movement mean wear on the bush which needs replacing or a worn out bolt or something else? I'll pull the arm off tomorrow anyway, I just wonder what to inspect closest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Change the bushes & have a good look at the bolt for wear, replace if unsure of condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Barrett Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Are these traditional metalastic bushes with a metal outer, rubber then metal inner sleeve? I've had enough of these bloody things to last me a lifetime, having just changed one on the diff of my TVR so if it's one of them can I get a polybush to replace it?
