New MOT But

thundercat · 12th August 2016, 09:54

Yep CDTI Club SE sailed through its MOT yesterday was on 135553 at last MOT now on 160385. So, the following advisory info, Suspension Arm rubber bush deteriorating but not resulting in excessive movement, rear both sides.
Play in steering rack inner joints.
Question, what bushes are they referring to and how easy are these to replace, where is the steering rack inner joints and I wonder why I have not notices this while driving.

Inner joints are these: 75/ZT Inner Tie Rods - All Models

The rear suspension arm bush could be one of many things - that's quite unspecific unfortunately.
I've seen a lot of demand for these lately, so could be this:
75/ZT Rear Upper Arm Bush RGX101110

They fit in the Rear Upper Arm, and are under a fair amount of load.
Best to query with the garage before ordering anything, though!
