Lexus L200 2000 - MOT advisory, rear suspension lower pin bushes worn both sides #

Year of Manufacture *: X reg

MOT Advisory "Rear suspension lower pin bushes worn both sides"

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I haven't heard the expression "Pin Bush" before. What might this be refering to?

Hi Paul
If this is same as Mitsubishi L200
it will be the lower spring hanger bushes & the Pin (bolt) wears as well
Regards Peter

Nothing like the mitsi L200

But I see what you are getting at and it makes sense.

Probabally wear to the bolts that go through the bushes on the lower wishbone then.

(Unless there are any other offers...)

Thanks

(I had just written out a bill for an old pajero so I guess I had mitsis on my mind)

It's typical VOSA "vagueness"
I presume it to mean there is play in either the pin or bush, but without strip down, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly which one....
