MOT Suspension Failure

Post by W3R3W0LF666 »

Hi All,

Had an MOT failure this week (sad times :() and was just wondering if anyone knows roughly what I should be getting quoted for the work as I have absolutely no idea how much I should be and I don't want to get done at all.

Failures (I can't fix myself) are:

- Rear axle swivel joint has excessive play
- Worn Ball joint
- Parking Brake at 3% (it annoyingly failed on the way to the test centre -sigh-)

It's the first one I'm worried about :?

Thanks in advance guys :)
