Just had the car MOT today, it passed but with advisories of nearside and offside front suspensions have slight play in lower suspension ball joints.
Also nearside and offside front suspension lower dust covers missing/split.
Actual quote from MB to carry out work,
"As requested cost to repair advisory defects noted during m.o.t -£1,086
front suspension bottom ball joints,slight wear present,cost to strip and replace £662.49inc vat,parts/labour fitted.
torque arms on both sides,gaitors on the ball joints starting to show signs of slight cracking,cost to strip and replace £423.78inc vat,parts/labour fitted.Please contact myself if repairs required or any questions".
Does the description of defects sound the same as the advisories in the MOT ,and is the price ok? The labour must be about 10 hours @£75 per hour !
Could someone please identify the defective parts mentioned in the quote ? I will inspect them myself. thanks
