Finally had time to get the wheels off the stagea and have a look at the wear and tear from Phillip Island a couple of wells ago. On the day I noticed overheating and a judder in the rear. The overheating turned into the blown radiator. And the knock was put down to rear subframe bushes. Driving home I occasionally noticed tyre rubbing on the rear guards and today Taking the rear wheels off I noticed they had been running on the shock absorber body. Static had 20 mm of clearance betweent the wheel in the shock
All associated bushes look and feel OK, so at this point I think it is the subframe walking around.
I found the front left tension rod has let go off all its oil as well.
Aluminium bushes were quickley purchased and the fun of installing them got underway.
A few hours later a reinforcement kit and bushes had been fit and now the car is feeling rock solid. All bumbs and scraps from rear suspension are gone.
