Rear hub bushes....

Postby soopachargen » Sun Sep 11, 2005 4:14 pm

I've recently failed a warrent for having movement in my right rear bushes....

What i was wondering... and hoping you'd be able to help me with is, the ?bushes? i guess they are... with the steel centres move about freely like they are a ball joint or something... and in the hub that failed the warrent guy marked the one circled in red as the problem... it seems to move just the same as another second hand one i have kicking around.
The question is are these supposed to move and is it just the bigger bush (circled in blue) that is causing my problem...?

This is what the hub looks like from the back...

And the front

When in doubt, down and out.

The ones in red are common for failing they are a swivel joint not a bush toyota only sell the complete hub assembly try aftermarket shops or get them rebuilt HBI engineering in christchurch does them not sure about north island.
