Was down on the MOT as loose! I really should have looked before! But at least you don't have to pay till it passes. I assume I can change this just by jacking up and wazzing it off and putting le replacement on!

Definitely broken! easy to change the only problem I had was the bolts rusted and being a fine pitched thread ended up shearing two out of the four bolts #-o or maybe I'm just too heavy handed! also helps if you have a decent 14mm hexagon socket if they are tight less likely to round of the nut & bolt heads.

if they go like this it is usual that there is slack in the bushes to the chassis or the rear axle bump/s stops are missing.
may be best to do the chassis bushes anyway, all new together then.
