To remove the trailing arm bushes from a Peugeot 206, first, lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the rear wheels and disconnect any necessary components, such as the brake line and shock absorber, to gain access to the trailing arm. Use a suitable tool, like a bush removal tool or a press, to extract the old bushes from the trailing arm. Clean the bush housing before installing new bushes, ensuring they are properly aligned during installation.
It basically means that the rubber bush ( or "hinge) between a major suspension part and the body/frame of your vehicle has worn away or become damaged.

To replace the rear bushes on a Vectra, start by safely lifting the vehicle and securing it on jack stands. Remove the rear wheels, then use a socket set to unbolt the rear suspension components as needed to access the bushes. Press out the old bushes using a suitable tool or a hydraulic press, clean the area, and then press in the new bushes. Finally, reassemble the suspension, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications before lowering the vehicle back to the ground.
