Which link rod is this?

In my last MOT there was excessive play in one of the link rods on the rear right hand side of my car, due to the bush failing and wrecking the rod link (one of the reasons I want poly bushes!). Anyway I think I know which rod it is but would like someone here to verify it before I shell out money for a replacement. These things are like £100 from rimmers!! For a metal rod!! Jeez. :frown:

It's a short metal rod that's adjustable and I THINK it's the "lower link to hub" as seen here for sale by Rimmers: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-RGD000570

Apologies for the poor pictures but I only have my phone at the moment. I tried to get a 3rd picture from underneath the rear bumper but my phones battery decided to die on me.





Luckily the guy who's repairing some of the dents in my car said he'd do the rod for free as long as I supplied the part. I just need to verify I have the right part.

That's the right one I think. It's not easy to see from your pictures, tbh, but there is only one that even looks vaguely like that.
Is it the inner bush that's gone?
I had one fail and got a good second hand one for £15 from ebay. From MGFheaven.

The part nearest the wheel has gone, leading to a potential problem with the wheel moving and uneven tyre wear.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check ebay.

Mgfheaven is what VVCSteve calls himself these days. Recommended.
Also MG&Tf bitz.

Found one on eBay for £48 in generally good condition. Don't seem to be any more in good condition on there at the moment (there is one cheaper but it's in awful condition).

Better than £85-90 from rimmers!

Could've sworn I looked at welovemgfs... ah well, thanks for the find!

Good luck!
Remember you'll need to get the 4 wheel alignment checked after fitting.
I measured the old one as accurately as I could, and also counted the threads, so that I could adjust the new one to as close as possible. When I got it checked, it was spot on!
