How can you check for play in the wishbones and drop links??

Have some brand new still packaged wishbones that came with the elite I just bought need to know if its something thats needed yet...although I guess the imminent MOT will tell me for sure lol

Also how easy is it to change drop links and wishbones?

Cheers Tim, might wait till the MOT is done before doing any major work like that but worth being prepared...once the ABS/TC ecu is sorted it should be ready to have a punt and see if owt else needs sorting lol

check for play in the wishbone bushes.... stick a large screw driver between the wishbone and the chassis, and see how much play is in it.
