Not sure what they mean by bonded suspension unit, But Its normally the console bushes that go and the link that Chewy supplied will explain how to replace them.

Very top of picture is the rear console bush.
Very bottom of picture is the front wishbone bush.
Far right of picture is the lower ball joint.

these are a bugger to do but well worth it and made a massive difference. if you plan to do it yourself then give me a shout as i have the makeshift tool they talk about in the how to guide.
cheers, si
