You'll probably find the the knuckle joint has chewed its way through the nylon bucket and is now burrowing into the suspension arm. Remove the rear shock, drop the suspension arm remove the knuckle joint (the "small bush" in your description) from the end of the alloy trumpet and replace with a new one. Dead easy (although in practice the parts have probably become quite happy where they are and will resist being separated). If you still want more ride height, insert a small (1 -2 mm) thick hardened steel washer between the knuckle joint and the trumpet. If this still isn't enough then you're probably looking for a new rubber doughnut. Cheers, Ian PS Being a Clubman, your car will have "dry" suspension. |

Ooops you're probably right. OK before you do anything I said, look behind the rear wheel. If there's a shock absorber, go ahead. If there's a spring, seek further advice. I'll bet there's a shock because tired wet suspension don't go soggy at the rear. Cheers, Ian |
