shock absorber bushings
Been a while. So busy playing music and being broke, but finally got a raise! Back to Rover stuff...
I just need to know how to inspect/ test for shot shock bushings.
Where they're located front and rear, how to replace, and where to buy.
Still have clunking noise definitely in rear and front is doing this weird squeaking like i can hear the springs moving.
Already replaced watts/ sway bar bushings and links front and back.
New ball joints/ tie rod ends.
Thank you! Glad to be back~

shock bushings arent gonna be serviceable, but you can definitely check for signs of failure.
They are the rubber isolators/donuts inside the "eyelet" of the shock, top and bottom for the rear, and in the front, there is an "eyelet" up top, you'll have to look at it from the engine bay side of things. The bottom should be pretty obvious, it is the bushing that holds the flat 2-bolt mounting bar for the bottom of the shock

I had the weird clunking on the right rear side... I noticed it mostly when going over speed bumps in parking lots, on the down side of the bump it sounded like the shock slammed the rear end down to the ground, if that makes sense... It went away when I replaced the OME Nitrochargers with Terrafirma shocks.
