Fairly sure one or more bushes are giving up in my 120. When I lift off the throttle on the motorway I get a shimmy, which feels very much like previous experiences with rear suspension bushes falling apart. My problem is always finding the bush. The only way I've found in the past is to start unbolting stuff and taking a look. All my rear suspension bushes apart from the panhard rod have been changed in the last 30K miles. One was a new top arm with OEM bushes. The rest are Milners poly. Had a look today with a crow bar and the only piece that moves much is the new top arm but I think that's just because it's softer compound. Is there a "proper" way to test without taking stuff off? Not sure that lifting the chassis necessarily works either, or am I likely to have a better chance doing that?
