Bottom Arms

[hispetdog 0]

I've always wondered what the clunking and juddering is from my front suspension. MOT failure says I need bottoms arms. I'm assuming this was the cause of the clunking. Weird thing is my car sometimes doesn't roll back on a hill it seems to jam. Would that be related?

 

Cheers

No i wouldn't have thought they are related, it's probablt not rolling back due to sticking calipers ir wheel cylinder.

 

Try jacking each wheel up individually and make suere they spin freely

Motaquip 'bones are said to have better bushes in from the off. Do a search.

 

OP first needs to know whether it is balljoint or bushes (or possibly both) causing the mot fail.
