Nearside Rear Trailing Arm Bush

[digitalgypsy]

Hello Bongo comrades,

A few weeks ago I had to replace the rear passenger tyre on the Bongo with the spare tyre. Well, I didn't replace it but the breakdown mechanic did. He used his own jack. A few days after that I took it to a tyre shop and they fitted a proper tyre back on.

Ever since the work was carried out there has been a creaking sound come from the passenger side. I took it to yet another garage about this noise and they said that most likely the 'Nearside Rear Trailing Arm Bush' needs replacing, and that it has become dislodged when the Bongo went up with the jack.

Does anyone know where I can find such a 'Nearside Rear Trailing Arm Bush'? I'm sure they have them in the Bongo shop but I'm not sure what they are named as.

Thanks as always,

Steve

There's a bracket at the front of the trailing arm, near the jacking point. If they used a trolley jack and didn't position it perfectly, it can bend the bracket. You then get the noise as the bracket is rubbing on the trailing arm. Use a pair of mole grips to pull it back into position. It'll be a bit tight. You'll see where its bent if you look underneath and compare the arms on both rear wheels

Hmmm. I'll have a look underneath then. Cheers for the info
