2001 E200, rear subframe bushes

[MFK]

Have had a problem with movement in rear of car most notable when changing lanes - you get this sideways wobble. Had a good look today and the rear subframe front end bushes are soft and easily move up and down with slight leverage. Could this be the cause of the problem. Couldn't see anything else.

What are these like to do? Are they pressed in and do you have to remove the whole subframe to do them?

Any help appreciated.

They will be the problem. And easily sorted. Here's the method from a poster on the other side:

It could be the sub frame bushimgs , though it could be worth checking the bushings in the rear suspension , particulary the bushing where the hub meets the lower suspension arm . These bushings are know to fail
