The MOT man said there was too much play in the bush inside the link (trunnion?) which connects the kingpin to the bottom wishbone/swinging half axle.I have removed it ok, but there is no way the bush is coming out. Does anyone have or know where I might get a replacement with a good bush?! Cheers

Jorily spares got me a full set of four of the bushes (metalastic) last week. I got them out by burning the rubber out and then using a hack saw to cut into the metal tube round the outside ad then chiseling it out....lengthy and not much fun. You will need to find someone clever to fit the new ones in though....they are a nightmare! Best thing to do is take the whole upright to an engineering shop and see if they will do the whole job once youve got the replacement metalastic bushes.

Thanks hawkeracing.Jorily got me a new trunnion & bush sent direct from his supplier (good man!) & I got the bush fitted with a BIG vice + brute force.Lets hope Mr MOT doesn't fail the offside.....
