Ok, I've replaced rubber bushes in the upper suspension arm, this is what they looked like:
The thing is that my father claims that the suspension arm pivots around the bolt that goes through it and the nut shouldn't be tightened. As soon as you tight the nut just a little bit it locks bolt and the bushes. I am saying that the arm doesn't pivot around the bolt, it twists the rubber in the bushes and works in that matter. Who is right? I hope you know what I am trying to say, at the end it does pivot around the bolt but inner metal shell is fixed with the bolt.
