Shock absorber bushes?

[steelo25]

Seem to be fixing one prob after another at the moment, comes in 3's don't they say.
Was driving through Lincoln NP on the rough limestone based road when noticed a squeak and rattle coming from the rear passenger side that got worse the more I drove. It seems to lessen when brakes applied and went AWAY entirely when on tar.
Got underneath to check it out and noticed I could move the top of the shocky side to side easily. The bush is sliding on bolt, everything else looks good and where it should be.
I have Dobinson extra h/d shocks for towing van, and was just wondering if this would be good to reach Adelaide from Port Lincoln as I don't have a vice to put new bushes in.
Thanks

Also poly or rubber?

If the bush isn't completely stuffed and it's only got some side-to-side movement you'll probably be fine, if it has verticle play probably best to replace it but you'll probbaly get away with it.

Yeah it's only side to side with maybe a mil up or down, the bush still looks fine no cracks or deformation
Thanks
