can be a worn bushes but if you get it replaced the tracking will almost certainly need doing, but if the bushes are ok get the tracking checked by somone who knows about 4 wheel tracking as had mine screwed up by a regular tyre place,cost me 2front tyres in the end and a trip to the dealers to get it tracked properly
MOT coming up- what shall i do about tyres?

Put it through the MOT- failed on near side front anti roll bar linkage and a dribble of fuel from a fuel line going into the fuel filter.
Both cheapo fixes- then she sailed through- had the four new Nexens put on aswell. Oh and another £270 for 12 months tax! She has cost me about £2,800 in the last month- but she is worth it!

anti roll bars are easy to change depending what nuts want to seize up !
if i was you i would also be changing the upper and lower control arms while your there, if they haven't been done then they will probably need it.

Cheers hippo, I will have a look at the arms- the garage put the anti roll bar linkage on for £40 fitted as I was short for time and didn't fancy having all my fingers removed from frostbite!
