Rear suspension donut bush.
Symptoms of failure, knocking suspension whilst accelerating left or right.
Very common, however mine was not showing this problem too much.
Below shows the new replacement with the extra washer that sits between 
the arm and chassis. If you are lucky Ian Marsh might have some stock left 
over from a group buy.  Senator3024v@hotmail.com

 

 

 

Support the cross member arm with a jack, undo and remove the 3 bolts holding the support bracket.
Remove the long bolt through the centre of the bush. Prize the bush out of it's socket with a large 
screwdriver.
The new bush will easily push into the holder in the arm, the spacer washer fits over the top between 
the chassis and cross member.

 

 

 

All bolted back up.

 

The other side is exact same procedure (my nearside), however this was a surprise as this bush had
completely failed, the aluminium insert had become unstuck from the rubber completely.
