You can see one at least of those bushes is worn and needs replacing. If it were mine I would replace all 4 bushes as well as the centre bearing.

Have a look here:

Il happily do both, if there a "best" method for replacing them as I heard you need support the body of the car?

I do love reading his stuff as I've used his guides before, didn't know he did that on his though so thanks for that

Not sure I would use blocks of wood to hold it up, I might use axle stands as a preference.

Whilst it's dry I thought I'd have another look with a screwdriver, I think there is play in everything but would love some second advice

Thanks Matthew
