Hi.
daft question but before i start on the wrong parts, I wanted to ask for some advice
The drivers side rear wheel can be pulled freely in / out (towards and away) from me. it does not seem to pivot (turn like the front ones) but the whole wheel moves completely level in & out. The wheel / hub feels solid, but can be moved.
I realise this is a problem lol.. but after lots of reading online, there are strut bushes, trailing arm bushes, bearings in the hub, etc all of which could be the cause / could not be faulty at all... fixing it is one thing... i need to know what to fix!
Could anyone please tell me what to look at first, if there is a way to test which bit is at fault and where to buy a replacement? is it better to replace the entire trailing arm if that's the fault or just the bush using an aftermarket kit?
Thanks in advance,
