I have a TF Magna and am looking at replacing the Lower Control Arm Inner Rear bushes, which are also known elsewhere as the radius arm bushes (I believe).

Anyways, there are two different types listed for the TF Magna, and I am wondering which one of the following two I require:
Control arm - lower inner rear 45442 Std replacement - suits slide on pin with lock nut
Control arm - lower inner rear 45445 Std replacement - suits slide on pin without lock nut


What should I be looking for underneath the car to determine which one I require?

Put your head under the car, behind the front wheel.

About 200 mm in there is the cover over the rear control arm bush.
Look at the open end towards the back of the car.
Without lock nut means that an approx 10mm round bar will be just sticking out.
With lock nut is self explanatory.

Thanks! it doesn't have the lock nut, which is true for most TF V6's. The Nolathane 45446 (with LH offset, 45445 is the std) is $98 from Motormate in Adelaide, or a couple of dollars cheaper with Motormate membership.
