Hi guys

So car is going strong and the few bits I have done in the 11 months of ownership have improved the experience of owning a ZS

I am left with 1 really annoying issue, and that is when going over bumps the rear nearside wheel really thumps over them, the front nearside does too but not quite as bad. I have done some research and think it is probably the ball joints, or the ARB link bushes?

The offside seems fine, I suspect it is causing more of the interior trim to rattle too when going over bumps. I am hoping that it isn't shock and spring and that it is just bushes, but what does everyone think?
The rear ARB bushes were replaced this week with some poly ones and it has sharpened up the back end when cornering, and the old ones were rotten! that is when I noticed the link ones were so deteriorated too....

Look forward to any suggestions

Thanks
