How do all,

Basically done my search as usual and nothing concrete from what i can see.

Story goes, if i brake over bumps etc i got a wibbly knock, occasionally suspension over bumps sounds harsh,

Am i right in thinkin that my ARB bushes need some attention? Bottom arms are relatively new, top mounts are fine, no play in the wheels (passenger side bearing may need some attention in the future).

Powerflex kits are 20 quids, or OEM ish ones are 2 quid a side, any ideas on what size the 1.6 has? 21mm or 23mm?

Opinions, suggestions or slaps welcomed.

Cheers

How do you 'feel' this?

If you feel it through the brake pedal, then I would say it's the ABS getting a bit excitable and kicking in.

This gives a sort of 'wibble' through the brake pedal, and is quite unsettling if you've never experienced ABS working before.

Mine does this if I brake, and hit a bump or pothole.
