Default Few MOT adviseries

Advisory's are both rear subframe bushes.

Im guessing they are going to be a pain and not cheap labour wise?

What sort of £££ am I looking at?

Advisory on abit of welding and a bearing but that isn't too bad!

Easy job if you drop the beam off. Only two bushes on the rears anyway!

I just dropped the beam down then attacked the rubber with a drill to get the inside of the bush out. Then I hot a hacksaw and cut the outer part of the bush then chesiled it out. I checked my pooma over cause its due its mot next week and I noticed there is plenty of movement on the bushes I fitted. This is properly what causes the rear tyres to wear off.

I checked my rear bushes cause my car has just passed its mot. They arnt worn but if you lever them with a bar they dont half move. Poly bushes would get rid of the play and are easier to refit.
