Rear suspension bushes - DIYable for a novice?

[OMITN]

Having recently successfully changed the oil and filters of my shed (hey, we’ve all got to start somewhere) and spent some time on my back on the drive today replacing a broken exhaust mount, I’m now thinking about the other advisories listed at the last MOT.

These include rear discs and pads, which I reckon are within my capability. Also mentioned is that the rear suspension bushes are perished. It definitely feels crashy at the back, so I can’t ignore it forever.

Feels like rear brakes + suspension is a one time job (as all the same stuff has to come off), but is attempting the rear bushes a job too far for someone with limited mechanicing experience?

Car is a Peugeot 307 hatch. I have a garage and access to another car if things don’t work out.

Do it or don’t touch it?

Cheers chaps. That settles it..! Yes, have seen the Peugeot Forums thread. Can’t find anything on YouTube covering this for the 307.

Time to start gathering parts (going to do brakes and rear springs at the same time) and then find a weekend to get it done.

Have had the front springs on mine done for that reason. Rear springs look fine according to YouTube. They remain in control while the torsion bar is lowered. But I will be double and triple checking before I commit..!

Cheers bayzoo. Saw your post.

I’ll make sure whatever I do can be put back together in case I need to get into the hands of a pro..!
