Rear trailing arm bushes by mark_bonsai

Can anyone tell me how difficult the main bushes in the rear trailing arm are to replace. Just found out mine are shot

Is it possible to drop that part of the arm down to do the job, or does the whole arm need to be removed from the car?

The only plus side is, at least they're not expensive. £26.71 for the pair from Rimmers.

They look tapered so an HT nut and bolt to pull them in to the arm should be farily easy

That apart Mrs Lincoln, did you enjoy the play
