Turns out the rear trailing arms and toe arms where both badly worn and recommended replacing. I decided to go ahead (additional 6 bushes I think plus labour) which doubled the already expensive exercise for the front control arms but I don't like having old worn out bits on the car, especially when they are brought to my attention! I don't have the car back until tomorrow as they ran out of time to finish up the wheel alignment due to an issue pushing out one of the toe arm bushes which was seized to the arm. Picking it up and then straight onto Coffs Harbour for Easter which is unfortunately mostly straight roads .

It was expensive because Fulcrum charge $120p/hr labour but in the end I just decided to go for it and I am glad I did. They had the car all day and overnight due to some issues pressing out one of the bushes in the toe arm which had siezed on.
The replaced:
- Front - Lower control arm rear bushes with double offset caster (SPF5112K)
- Front - Lower control arm inner bushes (SPF3091K)
- Rear - Trailing Arms (2 bushes per side not sure on part numbers)
- Rear - Toe Arms (1 bush per side not sure on part numbers)
~$1300 roughly 50/50 on parts and labour inc full wheel alignment
