My RR has gone in for MOT today - just checked on line, and it's failed

Failed on "Offside Rear Lower rose joint Front suspension has excessive play in an outer ball joint "

Is this a big job - is it likley to cost me a fortune

Lower arm can do one for £52.00+VAT

job only takes half hour so £40.00 labour time from a dealer You can paypal direct using - www.paypal.me/duckworthparts

Dan, when I went to collect it , it was rear suspension bush, not front (it was me who misunderstood the fail sheet!) So booked in for Tuesday to get done.

Thanks for your help

There are about 6 bushes each side on the rear, do you know which one failed?

My car has just been for a service at Stratstone (Newcastle) and I was advised that front and rear near side top and top rear offside rose bushes would need replacing soon.

I was quoted approx £1000 to do this

Going to have a bit of a rant now about Stratstone (Newcastle).

When the car was returned to me after a FULL SERVICE, I started up and an alarm came up "Check break discs"
Walked back inside told them about the alarm and the (very young) mechanic took the car back round to the garage.

When the car was returned again, 45 mins later, I started up and an alarm came up "Air-sussention inactive"
Walked back inside and told them about the alarm and another (bit older) mechanic came and took the car back round to the garage.

The car was returned and hour later and all was well.

After the service I recieved Im very reluctant to go back

Rant over but I think people should know.
