Thanks for the reply Q

Do you remember the symptoms you were having that led you to replace the bush

I'm usually game to try almost any repair. but I have a fear of working with springs........especially after reading a recent spring compressor thread

link to near disaster with spring compressor thread

I thought I could probably use a small floor jack under the lower arm with the chassis on stands to unload the suspension

I'm still keen to get some info on diagnosis...Steve...Arthur......anyone??
