MOT Failure - Need help to ID parts needed

[Dr. Zed]

There is definitely no ball joint on the rear so either they've picked the wrong item from the dropdown list or they're on a con.
Avoid doing the rear drop links unless you really have to. Bit of a pain to get off and even worse to fit the new ones.
Easiest way is to drop the whole ARB so you can move it about to get some leverage. It won't come right out but you can move it from side to side. If that's the case then obviously would be daft not to replace the ARB bushes too.

Just thought you'd be interested to know that the owner of the garage reckons the tester meant both fronts like you thought too. So new ones on order and should hopefully get that done today!

That's handy. Not quite sure how it will affect your MOT history, but that's a minor issue.

[ref]enuff_zed[/ref], hmm, good point actually. Hadn't thought about that. I guess if they realises they made the mistake, they'd just chalk it up to a pass when they checked it
