iv wrote up a few questions here recently and had very positive feed back so im hoping this 1 will be the same

here we go:
noticed at work when I had my car on the ramp that I could get movement from the rear wheels, and had a look while some1 else was moving the wheel, couldn't see any movement from the bushes so was convinced it must have been the wheel bearing because it did have the feel to it

now changed the bearing tonight, this job so not for the faint hearted lol, everything came apart like it should (bar the 1 massive bolt for the lateral arms, so took arms off from diff side) and the rear bearing went in no problem, build it all back together and still have the movement!!!!

my question is:
what is the most common bush on the rear that wears away?
I know it could be any of them but just want to know the most common 1's so I can make double sure 2moz when I get it back on the ramp
its a blob sti 06 wide track btw

After another very good look I have found the problem 😰
I appears to be my top mounts but what strikes me is the spring look stock and as far as iam aware they are black with 2 purple dots
None of them are broken but only just touch the top mount at the far side when jacked up

Can any1 confirm if the top mounts should have a touch of play or should they be solid, unsure whether there's anything wrong with them or not
