MoT problem . Suspension Arm pin or bush worn.

[SimonCh]

I have a MOT repair advisory "Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement offside front Inner".    

 

Not being familiar with the terminolgy or running gear, does any one have a schematic or able to clarify the part they are talking about. Is there more than one suspension arm on a wheel?

This is probably the rear suspension bush(es) which is quite a common problem.

 

When mine were replaced the rear axle was lowered; although I don't know that is necessary.

its the lower suspension arm at the front will be easier and cheaper to replace the complete arm

the large circled red is the complete arm the smaller circle is the bush that needs replacing garage need to take arm off press bush out then press new one in be just as quick to replace complete arm in ebay for about £70 with ne ball joint
