Have developed a rattle on my l/h rear leaf spring, which was identified as an advisory on last years Mot. I presume it has to be the rubber bushes.

Has anyone changed any recently and could therefore offer advice, or tell me where to purchase replacements.

Many thanks
David.
 
I'm guessing if you got an advisory, there's some noticeable wear in the set up, so the following may not help, but in the summer I drive with the windows down, and the rattle from the slack between the springs and the retaining clip was driving me nuts, so I jacked the car up to take pressure off the springs and slid an old credit type card between the spring and clip on both sides - it made a hell of a difference. Might not be your problem though.
Mike
