While it's possible it's the bushes, it's far more likely to be the balljoints - this is the most common cause of loose suspension on C900s. It can be deceiving, because if you jack up the car and grab a wheel, it'll feel firm. The only way to test them is by unloading the suspension, by placing a spacer between the upper wishbone and the panel below it. Then you can feel for balljoint play. They're about £23 each (x4), and don't take long to do. |
Likely to be all gone together, or just one or two?

the ones with any play in them and replace them.
Having said that, if the car is going to take a real beating
over the next 2000 miles, it would be wise to replace them all.
A worn balljoint rapidly deteriorates on rough roads, and can
break. That would be a bummer.

Usually one or two. If you're on a tight budget, then just find the ones with any play in them and replace them. |
