    Common fault on the 40s. Quite an annoying job to replace them from what I remember. Are you planning to do it yourself or get a garage to do the work?

    I seem to remember my indy swearing about them but can't remember why. I'll ask.

    camber is likely to be play in one of the lateral link arm bushes- there are 2 a short and a long- you just change the arm.

    the front of rear trailing arm bushes are something else- original part difficult to fir and has to be compressed as it goes in.

    our local independent fits our > 1999 bushes which are the same as first original part having a metal shell and dont need compressing. these can be fitted to all s40/v40 up to 2004
