MOT advisory note

Post by ukspaceman » Sat Jun 16, 2007 7:20 pm

I just changed the Bongos registration and got a new copy of the MOT and the advisory note which I didnt get when purchased.

They only thing it notes is "front suspension bushes perished". Cant find any mention of them on the forum unless that are knwon as something else?

Can I get them from the member shop?

Cheers

I am not a mechanic but think it is the drop links and/or anti roll bar bushes

if so they can be perchased quite easily and its not a difficult job to do

I did the drop links on mine

I'd say more probably the rubber metalastic bushes in the suspension wishbone.

MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm now this could be an interesting little job! :(

Maybe easier going for replacement wishbones with the bushes already inserted, if you can get them.

Have a good look yourdelf to see if you think these are the bushes mentioned in the advisory note, it may as previously suggested onlt be the drop links. Fingers crossed for you. :)

the garage that gave the mot will have its details on the note

A phone call to ask them may pay dividends
