RedM Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 When I had my MOT last year the tester said I had play in my nearside rear wheel bearing and would need to get it sorted but it wasn't bas enough to fail the test. I got the part and fitted it many months later. The fitting was done at Andy Hannah's family garage and his dad informed me that it wasn't the wheel bearing that was causing the movement it was a (and this is where I need help)..... ....top suspension mount or something? It has a (rubber?) bush attached and it's the bush that is failing. Is this the right bit or does it sound correct? Basically I need to know what I need to buy so I can get it ordered. Many thanks.

RobSheffield Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 The top suspension arm has a ball joint at its outer end, and a pair (iirc) of rubber bushed bolts at its inboard end. Give Andy a call, see if he recalls what bit was wobbly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 It'll fix the wobble in the wheel but I doubt it will help with the random twitch that we were talking about, it didn't help on the NA anyway. Current thinking is that this particular issue may be down to diff mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 The 'random twitch' you speak of, I believe, can be pinned down to white road markings. It only ever happens in specific places and all of them involve turning right over some hatchings. As the the wobble part. Time to contact Nic.

Current thinking is that this particular issue may be down to diff mounts. Is the random twitch made worse by diagonal tar banding on diagonal badly repaired roadworks? I first noticed something similar when crossing one near my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
