Omega General Help / Re: Wishbone & bush advice?

With such low miles per year use , and some (not all) MOT testers misdiagnosing steering/suspension issues on many cars ,not just Omegas ,with steering box, steering idler, etc ...
before you spend ££££ on an advisory repair ,it may be an idea to consider how urgent the issue is
have you noticed any symptoms ?
poor handling , uneven tyre wear etc
proper diagnosis is important too IF there is an issue .
Are the components ALL original ,and nothing has been replaced ?
the APT kit doesn't include center tie rod or idler arm IIRC
some minor wear in multiple componants can combine to form slight play
though ,if you're only popping down the shops at 30mph once a week, a complete steering/suspension overhaul may be excessive.
