They look like inner bushes on the lower wishbone or rod
Were those bushes fitted with the stub axle supported ?
Was the bolt put through the bush assembly & tightened whilst there was no weight of the hub assembly pulling down on the bushes ?

Yeah - it's the rear bottom arm. I Admit I didn't have something taking the weight of the strut etc while tightening up the bolt, but then I tightened it again once the car was back on its wheels..........
Hi Rob
Sorry, but it does look like you possibly did.
You should not load the bushes with any kind of vertical downward mass until the bushes are tightened & the vehicle lowered back to the ground.
Most use a bottle jack or similar to support the hub until all is tightened & back in place.

ooops!
So I should have only tightened them up slightly with something supporting the weight of the strut and then REALLY tightened them once I got it back on its wheels?
Luckily, I've still got the Powerflex bushes, so I'll bung those in - following the correct procedure this time!!!
ooops!
