Default Steering sideways.

Finally found out the problem with my Vette - the drivers side ( and probably the other side ) trailing arm is shot at the chassis end.
Have not taken it apart yet, but it can be seen to move in and out of the chassis mounting.
So, I guess the rubber is gone.

So, here is the question, who to get a pair from considering I am in the UK and they will have to be sent etc.Thanks,
Hugo.

Just found out whats wrong - the garage I paid to fit the new bushes, did not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because they did not have the 12 ?? sided spanner or socket required to fit the UJ clamps.

Its going back in in the morning...........and this time they had better do a good job !!!!!!!!!!
