very bad rear trunnion

Yes, part is £5 a side. Order the nut and bolt too as the bolt can wear a groove causing more movement. Joint should be stiff to move with the hand when off the car, when replaced/new. Will take an after noon i would do both sides together and use lots of copper slip as the bolt can seize in the trunion half's.

When you say `trunnion` do you mean the whole trunnion (bearing) housing ,or do you mean the bushes ?
Camber increase ? Negative or positive?
Nine time out  of ten the trunnion bush tube seizes to the retaining bolt and give a negative camber, which is more common in the MK1/2/3 fixed spring,not so common on the swing spring.
If changing the bush kit then that is not so expensive ,however the trunnion/bearing housing is more expensive.
Also when changing, reasseble loosly then suspend the car centrally and then tighten the trunnion bolt.
