    Hi

    My V40 has failed it's MOT on what the mechanic has called trailing arm
    bushes. Are these known by any other name, and how easy are they to
    replace.

    Cheers

    That would be "trailing arm bushings" outside the UK.
    Replacing them may require a special tool, or reasonable
    facsimile thereof, to press the rubber bushings in and out
    of the trailing arm ends.
