Failed MOT

One of the issues where something to do with the wheel were when you brake the wheel jumps forward and pulls back again and this is when you're braking to come to a hold just before you stop completely. This problem is on the front offside. They've told me what they think it is, but I want to see what you lot think it is. Hopefully this is enough for you to understand.

Yeah you're right they said something about the bush/wishbone/suspension.

Hmm! Wishbone bushes, Trackrod ends balljoints?

Why not post what it states on the failure form?

Deleted member 66701 · 1 Jun 2011 at 19:25

Even the make and model of the car would be a good start!

002 Offside front front suspension has excessive movement at a wishbone pin or bush.

WISHBONE BUSHES!

Easy peasy, nothing else will cause a wheel to move in the arch to such a degree.

Type out exactly what it says on the failure sheet, it might help

Edit: Nevermind, I should refresh the page before posting

Okay guys, thanks for the help, its a 2005 scenic 1.5dci, any idea how much it will cost to repair? There next door neighbours said to replace the wishbone and labour was 95 quid?

Biohazard · 1 Jun 2011 at 19:30

Sounds about right

Is this neighbours doing the work?

The wishbone is about £30 (?) so the rest is labour, but you do need to strip a fair bit off.

I'd perhaps consider changing both of them. A few months down the line you may find your nearside doing the same.
