Default Vic Rwc Fail - help for new jeeper

Hi all,

Just had my 05 crd kj inspected at VIA (vehicle inspection australia) today and they identified the following:

-PS rack passenger and driver side oil contamination/indicating leak

-Passenger and driver side rear suspension trailing arm bushings (rear-most) worn (1xeach side)

-Rear diff mounting 'A frame' bushings (front most) worn (1xeach side)

Anybody have an idea what parts i would be chasing and where best to get them?
Could the PS be just oil stains or a loose connection?
The inspection center unfortunately does only RWC and no repairs.

So if anybody is interested in helping out for some extra cash a new jeeper, please let me know and maybe we can sort something out.

Cheers guys

You can get all your suspension bushing at reasonable cost from Morris 4x4 in the US, or IDparts also in US. Takes about a week from IDparts. Re the PowerSteering, its probably the hose, or hopefully, but its expensive to get a factory replacement but most hydraulic service guys can make a new hose for less than $200, Pirtek, etc. Factory will be much more. If its the power steering pump they are expensive and hard to find - try a Jeep wrecker first.

Just done the bushes in the upper control arm for $80 (Super Pro)for both plus $20 to press them out and in.
I followed Cmohr's instructions in this forum.
Not difficult at all.
