Hi,

Ka.... Last year had an MOT advisory that the front upper shock
absorbers (both sides) have slightly worn bushes. When I grab the top
of the strut inside the engine bay I can't make either of them move
and the topmost bush looks fine. Is this anything to worry about? Got
next MoT coming up and if it fails on that I'm in trouble apparently
(other half's car) Apparently she was told it probably won't get
through this year but I don't see why.

Thanks,

Peter.

IIRC this is a well known feature, not a fault, but there are modified top
bushes with a slightly shorter metal sleeve available. You can of course
take your old one out and shorten it a little (about 3mm) but don't say I
told you !
