That\'s it really it looks like I need to replace something but I have no idea what I\'m looking at.

Advice and knowledge please

Thanks

It they are the rear hubs, then those look like the DTSS (passive toe steering system) bushes.  I don\'t think you can get replacements for these anymore, but you can buy the eliminator bushes that will disable the passive steering at the rear.  Some people prefer to swap them out anyways.

It\'s the rear and as one side seems to have rubber and the other doesn\'t  I thought something would need replacing.

Should I fit eliminator bushes or will it be ok as it is.

I could be wrong but as one side seems to have a rubber bush and the other doesn\'t I

assumed something was amiss.

As and when the DTSS bushes fail, one of the indicators is a disctinct pull to left or right under braking. (well usually anyway...)
