Title: FWD upper & lower suspension ball joints MOT advisory
Post by: Dutch on March 29, 2010, 06:06:11 PM

Did a search in Birty and found my own thread of a year ago  :017:

http://www.birtydastards.com/frm/index.php?topic=9264.0 (http://www.birtydastards.com/frm/index.php?topic=9264.0)

This year at MOT they did exactly the same advisory again (as Bubba predicted  :023:)

So they either have some 'natural' play on the WJ or they wear very slowly. 

Bubba you mentioned that they are perfectly servicable....how does that work ?

Or I could just be on the look-out for replacements on fleabay and swap some throughout the year to spread the cost.

Can't be that hard to do.....any pointers ?

Cheers.

A bit of up and down play is fine. Sideways is bad.
