Lower suspension bushings worn - Ford Dagenham
Hello.

I have found out that both lower arm bushings are split (the big ones.

The steering can pull at corners.

Is the car safe on the motorway.

Well, the arm is unlikely to fall off, but as you have noticed it can make the handling unpredictable. This will be an MOT failure (and is pretty common on Mondeos I believe). Whether it's safe on the M-way depends on how bad the handling has got and whether you think you can control it in sudden avoiding moves, or when you pass a big lorry. I think I'd be getting them done before I tackled a big journey.

Is it illogical? It must be Citroen....

Hello

It is split partially on one side on each of the two big bushes.

The car is only strange when i go round a roundabout a bit too fast (was in a rush)

Thanks for your help.
