Title: MOT & ADVISORY
Post by: over50now on 30 March 2009, 15:57:09

Been doing all you guys have advised, so those probs been solved.  

The MOT not due until end of April, so no rush, but took it this afternoon.

Failure items not a problem, as expected and all within my capabilities with the enormous help from this site. Car is for holiday (tow caravan).
However, want it to be spot on.

Got an mot advisory - o/s and n/s front suspension arm rubber deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement. Have looked on the maintenance guides for help/advice. Can't find anything.  Looked in Haynes - possibly refer to 'lower suspension arm' and 'front suspension lower balljoint' am I right.
If so, is it a difficult job.

Any advice appreciated - AS ALWAYS.   Thanks

Defo wishbones. Easier to change the arms both sides as well then get geometry checked.
