Anti Roll Bar Has Slight Play In A Ball Joint...

[Obey_R 23]

(Both front ball joints) Anti Roll Bar has slight play in a ball joint.

 

This is an advisory on my MOT, but I don't really know what it means!? Any help?

Droplinks are worn out

If it's droplink's don't buy the s*ite of ebay unless its gen or motaquip.

 

Personally i would get motaquip as genuine are £80 odd EACH.

Why cant they just say droplinks haha thanks

 

I'm off to the dealer in the morning so I'll get a quote then, thanks guys.

 

PS. It meant to say both front TOP ball joints, would that still be droplinks?

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

Dealer will say £84.60 each please. Unless you get a discount

[Obey_R 23]

Jesus, won't bother asking then!

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

That's why i said it. Get a good quality O.E spec one. Prices are far more realistic.

[Obey_R 23]

GSF?

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

Never tried much from there. But a few members use them by the sound's of it.

 

As i said before i generally use Motaquip and found the parts of a good standard.

Because they don't know the correct term for them?

 

I've just got some Motaquipdroplinks this week & they are ~£10 each, part number VSL645.

Go for Motaquip droplinks as mentioned above...

[Obey_R 23]

Well to bring this back up, I've bought some new drop links (motaquip) and was going to fit them tomorrow but I've just seen a receipt for some work I had done at the same time as the MOT said the above, on the receipt is fitting of new drop links?!

 

Is there anything else this could be?

[Slo 283 1 Cars]

I once fitted 3rd party drop links from ebay to my 605 just before i took it for the mot and they rattled like mad i got the same advisory and the guy said he should fail them really but let it go as i promised to replace them with better ones which i did so do it

[Obey_R 23]

I can't imagine he would have fitted poor quality, that's not like him from what I know! They were also the same price as the motaquip ones o bought!

[Obey_R 23]

Resolved, he fitted them as a result of the advisory so no need to change them.
