    Trailing Arm bushing

    Hi fellows. I know that my trailing arm bushes need to be changed as I have the usual rear steer symptoms plus I did have my mechanic check them out, However would this cause a difference of 2 inches in the back between one side and the other? Also would this cause the vehicle to sway with a slight wind at speed (feels like from the back)?

    I can't see how the bush can affect the ride height, that sounds like a spring collapse...
    But I'd say they are your sway issue, die to the joints being loose...

    Thanks for the reply. How do you know if a spring has collapsed?

    Your ride height.. as one side has dropped a large amount I'd say its stuffed...
    Given you don't have 100kg of lead of something in that corner...
