Not sure of your location EMD but I know a decent chap in Peterborough who does a cracking job and works from home.

Ran it into my local garage who informed me that the balljoint is fine, it's apparently a wheel bearing (not balljoint like it says on the advisory). Went home and spoke to Serek, top bloke he is, and will be booking it in with him soon. :-)
Thanks for all the advice

Showing my lack of mechanical knowledge. Drop links, would they be classed as upper balljoint joint? When holding either front wheel at a 10 2 position and rocking roughly in and out. The knock appears to be high up, more so on the nearside. Sorry for my inexperience and thank for you advice.

Still worth getting done or not? I can hear it both sides although advisory only says nearside. Could it be anything else knocking?

Seem to recall being told upper though? Unfortunately I don't have a great mechanical aptitude. So looks like a garage job.

Omega General Help / play in balljoint
« on: 09 February 2016, 20:34:35 »
Hi again.
I've got an advisory on my MOT and did notice a slight knocking this evening. Could anyon tell me if it a single ball joint or complete arm. If I hold the wheel and and rock it I can hear something knocking. The advisory was this:
nearside front Suspension arm has slight play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)8
Hope someone can advise. I seem to recall the bloke I bought it from telling me it was a top Ball joint. I've also noticed it doesn't matter which side of the car I rock I get the knocking noise. Any ideas on cost etc?
Many thanks

Any further info. As I'm working days shift, finish at 1800 hours, then back at 0600 in the morning. But would be great to see your rides. General natter, pick your brains and so on. Is this a regular meet?

Just to clarify. The idea for Aug or Bluetooth would be found music from an android phone, not to answer calls. Sorry for any confusion.

Thanks for your reply. Easiest option is to change the HUMAN then. So being the next logical question. Are they standard double din, I'd like a tidy fit, without gaps. So any suggestions?
