Hi folks
Its been a while since being on
A good thing really as ny D3 has been going smooth
So car went for puncture repair rear offside was told it needs upper bush was shown the wheel movement and def needs done
So my qs are is it just a bush i can get or is it a complete unit that needs bought
Second i am reasonably handy around d3 maintenance so is it an easy job as the haynes manual shows
Or is thwre an easier way to replacthird do i need to change in pairs ad in both sides
Fourth any tips would be appreciated
Or will this be a job i got to pass on to the garage
Kind regards all

I reckon it must be the wheel end as he pointed it out to me from over the top of the wheel

Top bushes go first at the rear.
If you have a 10t press, an extra set of hands, a good range of sockets to press bushes out it’s very doable. 5-6 hours
If you are time poor and don’t have press and sockets, buy the complete arm with bushes.
From memory you need to split rear brake line to get the arm
Out, which is a pita.
