MOT Today !! Did it pass or fail ??
burgerman:
FAILED :'(
Only on a couple of bits though, Rear pads worn out ( thought they were a bit squeeky yesterday :lol: )
And the ball joint on the end of the steering box drop arm is too wobbly ( not such a nice job :doh: )
Apart from that nout else :dance: Not even an advisory
Pads replaced today, Not sure how to attack the ball joint issue, i have a repair kit but looks a lotta bits for me to fiddle with :roll:
Saffy:
I did last one in situ without removing arm, pretty straight forward. Recommend a genuine kit or at last a genuine rubber boot for it because the cheap ones do not like to stay put.
burgerman:
i have just ordered a kit up, ( not *hit part) And will have a double dose of patience pills when i tackle it :D

You'll bloody need em!!
I tried one of these kits once, gave up after a while and bought a new drop arm with the kit already in it!!!
I believe you can also use the drop arm from a later vehicle as they used track rod end type setups on em!!
Saffy:
I can't remember what the kit consists of but do not recall any drama to it? Cup insert, spring, spring seat, ball joint, ball retainer :huh: I do recall something about tricky adjusting so ball is smooth - maybe the experience was so bad that I blanked it all out from memory :lol:
I do know cheap ass balls are not chromed.
