Hi Briggie,

On my R3mR it always had a bit of rear end wobble that slowly got worse.

Two MoT's later and my local garage found the problem it was a bush on one of the two short rods on the upper part of the rear axle. To date only replaced one pair on the right side my mechanic did not do the other side as the bolts were solid.

Ought to have done both sides but decided to wait until they show signs of movement. Should have done both rods for balance but no feel of any problems now and bobble gone.

Milner Off Road supplied a set of Polybushes (Orange rated) and problem was sorted. On mine there are four such bushes on the upper short rods and four on the rear swing arms so there is plenty of areas where you can have some wear / movement.

The Polybushes are easier than the Nissan ones to fit and tighten up the suspension a bit.
