What is this front suspension rubber bush inside the engine bay called (series 1)? This N/S one is loose and turns easily although the bolt is tight. The O/S bush is tight with no movement.

If restored the subframe bushes may have been put back in the wrong order as they are all subtly different.

Its not the winning but taking part! or is it taking apart?

Yep “restored” in Italy but keep finding things that I don’t think have been finished correctly. This top rubber bush has 1-2mm vertical play and spins freely so seems to me isn’t doing anything. I’m assuming it should be held in place securely shouldn’t it?

The two bushes top and bottom are fatter than the tube in between so when the lot is bolted together the bolt is tight as the rubber is squashed so unfortunately something for you to investigate.
