Another one bites the dust

MOT I mean.
Its a pass! 3 advisories, radiys arm bush, front wheel bearing slight play and steering knuckle has slight free play.
Easy fixes (i hope).

...What do they mean radius arm bush?...Wishbone?.....Is it the top or bottom steering UJ or bulkhead bush..There should be some play in the front wheel bearings...Ziga

Good news mate!

Well done Marcus hope to see it on the rusty this year.

Cheers guys, it will be out to play this year. Need to make up for last years paltry 397 miles.
The steering joint is the one going to the rack, the radius arm i think is the trailing arm. Didnt know the front bearings were meant to have play.
But it goes, its tested, taxed and insured, plenty of miles to catch up on...

The offending "radius arm".

Yes, they're taper needle bearings. Applying too much torque will lead to a wrecked hub and possible a detaching situation. There is a guide in the Bible as to the exact tightening method.If you haven't got one let me know and I can scan one for you.
