mrben Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 Hello. Its m.o.t. time, and i'm sure that one side strut top has gone, possibly both! There is squeaking etc coming when turning, and when i jacked up each side, i could slightly wobble the wheel up and down...I'v heard that the top nuts can be a pain, as they're positioned right where the rain water runs off the window onto them, and thus corrode. I'm looking for hints and especially tips on what to look out for, as to try to make the job run easyier/smoother :(Thanks in advance. Quote
seatkid Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 When you jack the car up, the front struts drop and float around by design!! Really!! Its normal and a design feature, and not an MOT failure. MOT must test with the vehicle on the ground, i.e. full weight on struts. Quote
