Doofer, the parts I replaced are the upper rear suspension radius arms. The inner bushes are of the 'silentbloc' type, i.e a solid rubber bush encased in a steel sleeve with a steel spacer tube bonded into the middle, the outer bush is a self aligning rose joint, a type of ball joint, it is mechanical and is filled with grease, this is the one that wears, when worn they cause an unmistakable loud thumping noise when the rear wheels go over bumpy road surfaces. I would say mine had about 1 - 1.5mm of free play, now I have replaced them there are no more noises. I got the replacements from EBay for £30 a pair. They are not original FIAT / GM parts so only time will tell if they are any better quality than the originals which TBH are crap. I have seen some original non Fiat franchise parts for about £65 a pair on the internet. Hope this helps. I forgot to add, with the car jacked up, no wear could be felt when rocking the top of the wheel laterally, I only discovered it when I removed the top arm outer bolts to replace the rear springs of which both bottom coils had broken off, the wear in those bushes was really evident then.
