Apparently on the rear beam of my 180 there are 2 struts, 1 either side with bushes on top of them, my bushes have split so need replacing but have no idea which bushes I need to get myself, any ideas?

Struts? They mean dampers or the lateral link bars?

Will be the sway bars, they fit from the middle of the axle to the bottom of the hub either side.

the nightmare is over, just been to pick the car up after it's mot and was told the bushes were fine, was told that the posture of the rear of the car was to different when all 4 wheels were off the ground making the mechanic think they were split but when only the rear end was in the air they were fine, so now i can put the money towards sorting out a oil and coolant leak
