How could one of these 'fail' and be part of a MOT failure??

If the bushes are worn or fixings are loose.

Couldn't the bushings be replaced or the fixings tightened..?

Or alternatively just take it off for the MOT.

I did this when I was waiting for some JKS discos to come. Went through the mot no probs & drove it for a few weeks like it; just handled a bit like a boat!

take the mount bolts out very slowly, the threads on the welded in nut was toast and wanted to snap.

I've got a spare set of JKS ball shaped bushes if you want to have them to get you through the MOT and just replace them direct from JKS at your leisure.

Drove mine once on the road with the front disconnected and I certainly wasn't feeling mellow every time I entered a corner  :lol:

Ya gotta drive with your disconnects undone just in case a green lane turns up and the steering goes funny :lol:
