hi i was recently at the garage getting a new tyre fitted. when the fitter was torquing up the wheel nuts he told me that my "rear bushes had gone" this was on the near side front wheel. he showed me the wheel was moving about alot when he was putting pressure on the nuts with the torque wrench.

would this be the lower suspension arm bushes that have gone??

Cheers for any help

 

yeah get a pair of new arms fitted and then have the wheel alignment reset

 

cheers for that does it matter if the car is on axle stands or just jacked up when you're doing it?

 

get it on axles stands as you will be working under the car mate

 

I think anyone who asks that question shouldn't be working on cars!

This is no joke, my gradad died working on his car when the handbrake failed and it rolled off the ramps and crushed his head!

Use a proper trolley jack to get it in the air then support on axle stands and chock the rear wheels.
