The merc is back from the mechanic. I had him look at vibrations at higher speeds and a unevenly worn rear winter tyre, basically it's been worn out over a single winter.
He's gone through all the bushings but can't find anything that needs fixing, but as it's all original he says it's probably just set itself on a bit of an angle over time. One option is to rebuild the whole thing, but that'll be spendy and I don't think I'm going Damnit on this one...
He did balance the summer tyres though, so the vibrations are gone, but we'll see about the wear. The winter tyres are wider which will exaggerate the wear he says, so hopefully the summer ones should be fine. Does that make sense?
