   I had four new tyres fitted yesterday and the fitter showed me how 'flexible' the rear passenger side wheel was. No surprise as I knew the bush was past its best.
   
   Im struggling to find any information on how to sort this.
   
   Does anyone have any usefull information to help?...

   it's not the ARB bushes, the ARB sits inside the axle, it's the axle bearings itself. You need a new rear axle I'm afraid.

   Axles come in 3 and 4 stud setup for hubs, and 4 stud come in drum and disc configuration for brakes, identify which you have, and yeah, easy.
