MOT failure Front suspension arm ball joint Dust covers
Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2023 2:55 pm
Hi, My 2005 V6 X350 failed its test yesterday on several suspension dust covers. All the rear Anti roll bar linkage dust covers failed both sides, with upper and lower? Not too worried about that (other than cost) and realise ARB links will have to be replaced. Both front suspension arm ball joint dust covers (not bushes) also failed. Are the dust covers available or will the ball joints have to be replaced?
Car is booked into Wiltshire Jag indy on 17th Oct for repairs and new MOT, as my local test station garage said they couldn't cope with repairs as too complex? Couldn't get any repair dates within 10 day retest window. So have to start from scratch with new test. (and all the problems that may bring)
Any comments/help would be most appreciated please?
Also failed on nearside HID dipped beam headlamp failure and headlamp levelling device inoperative, i'll put a post on electrical section for any comments / solutions there.
Thanks
Rod
