What comes to mind when you read "rear bushings"

I just looked at the paperwork from my wheel bearing and the shop that did it listed:

"rear bushings severly deteriorated"

What would they be referring to exactly?? The dtss bushings maybe?

most likely the dtss bushing. my horizontal ones were perfectly good looking and i didnt have any problems with them. dtss bushing was a dumb bitch though.

Could be the subframe bushings, the DTSS bushings, the A-Arm bushings...

When the bearing(s) were replaced, it would have been wise to replace the dtss bushings if they were gone. Check the rear camber links though. They have a tendency to deteriorate and cause rear camber problems.

When I replaced my DTSS bushing it crumbled into little pieces when I removed it.
