you can press the bush out or drill the rubber and hacksaw the outer steel tube then knock it out with a chisel, you need to undo the other end first to remove the arm 3 x 17mm headed nuts /bolts

That's FOOOKERD That is !

Yep axle is waggling about like a whippets dick, play should have been easily detectable with a good crow bar.

It would with a big enough bar you should not have needed a camera to spot that. Think some have been telling you what it was for a while. See post 3 and post 11.

In post 173, I suggested that the bush checking technique of the inexperienced was often poor. And suggested a crowbar!

That was in response to your statement that he had checked the bushes, and there was no problem.

True you will feel movement a lot sooner than you see it, top method for TREs. But what he has should have been detectable with a bar.

Does the USA have an equivalent to the annual MOT here?
Kind of makes me think they don't given the vid evidence.

My suggestion to do all bushes is the way forward because it appears they have been neglected or not checked correctly, same difference anyway.

New bushes all round, do it once do it right.

Sorry for not updating been busy out my ass in response to l322 no we dont have a annual MOT here. I have all the bushings replaced fixed the issue thanks guys.

Glad you got there in the end, now you can enjoy the motor

Easy for me to suggest changing bushes from the comfort of my armchair but in most instances a bit of extra investment and graft is considerably more acceptable than just inanely pursuing which particular part is/was the issue. Call it stage 0 tuning, a clean slate.
Now when something actually goes bang you can coast to a halt in style and safety, not to mention recouping your costs as you shred less tyres

Good outcome.

brilliant result kidda! Go enjoy it

C'est Kiddo, non?
