Default Passed but a bit miffed.

Well passed mot today folks,but come back with an advisory for slight play in lower ball joint on passenger side.what gets me is both wishbones are basically brand new and only do e 500 miles since last mot😕.just hoping it only needs a bit of a nip cause surely they last longer than that.😮

Maybe the bottom ball joint hub was separated a bit to far on removal of the old lower arms torque them up a bit more, if memory serves correctly they should be 50nm try going up to around 60-70nm and see how you get on.

This is a well-tried fix and invariably works
