Hi All,

Hope someone can help me, I have uneven tyre wear on the near side rear tyre. The tyre is wearing on the outer edge and when I drove in snow recently the rear end was shifting and generally felt like it was losing traction. So I took the 75 to my local garage and they advised that a rear bush was worn but they are having trouble getting hold of this particular bush.

In order to explain, I'm afraid I'm going to show my lack of knowledge and probably use the wrong terms and confuse various bits and bobs but here goes....

It's a rear bush that is circular and has a bar or metal dowl going through it? Apparently it's located up in the body of the car and requires the axle dropping? I would like to be able to help source the part and I always try and diagnose faults myself but I can't seem to find this one. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Ian.
