Rear suspension bushes and tyre wear

Featured Replies

Hi all.  I know this has been covered but I can't find the answers I need.

 

The rear end of my estate sounds pretty crashy.  The car also suffers with the old excessive wear and saw-toothing on the inner tyre edges.

 

My indie mechanic has advised the lower inner bushes are worn but says it's not worth replacing any others.

 

Not being that familiar with the rear suspension setup myself, or the terminology, please can someone advise what bushes AND eccentric bolts I should be buying?

 

There appears to be lower and upper eccentric bolts, controlling both toe and camber.  Which is responsible for the tyre wear?  There appears to be upper for camber and lower for toe bolts:

Bushes - I'm considering poly bushes, so which ones do I need?  E.g. Powerflex PFR85-510, PFR85-512 (lower spring inner, lower link inner respectively)

Any help to improve my understanding would be great and a definitive answer even better 😄

 

Many thanks!
