Passed the MOT. Not with flying colours, but a few advisory's.
2 wishbones, CV joint loose, rear wheel bearing ............. Don't seem too bad........

Tony.
What is the rear wheel bearing problem ? how did he (or she of course) diagnose a problem with it ? if there is play, it's shot,roughness is difficult to find without the drive shaft disconnected unless the car is jacked up and run in gear,thus an audible diagnosis could be made.The wishbones move slightly from side to side on the rear bush,there is nothing to stop em,if the bushes are split and rattling around only then do they need replacing,if there is play in the ball joints to any degree,the wishbones do need replacing.

They had the car on the hydraulic ramps and they was pushing and pulling the wheel and hearing a like clicking noise, there was a little play but not enough to fail the MOT
Thanks for the advice
