Hi Mr Brigg, the rear bump stops on the terrano are part of the suspension, as you load up the rear the large squashy figure of eight stops are soon reached and become part of the springs support. They do drop off, infact mine didn't have any when I bought it but I didn't know and had a couple of m o ts without them. When mine sagged at the back it was the spring holders which had rotted away. The bump stops are I believe £88 each from Nissan but I got a pair from ebay for £25.

Rear end wobble

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.
