How would i tell if the "nearside front anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a ball joint"?

Is this when you raise the car, grab the wheel at 12 %26amp; 6 / 3 %26amp; 9 and check it that way?





peugeot 306 fwd|||If the MOT guy says it, it's probably so.|||With the car jacked up you position a lever (a longish steel bar or similar) under the end of the anti roll bar next to the joint. As you lever the anti roll bar up and down you will see the ball joint moving. It shouldn't move at all. Be careful to have the car supported well. Put the wheel flat under the car for safety, or use axle stands. With a two foot long lever you should not need to stick your head under the wheel arch to view the joint. If the mot man has pointed it out, just renew it as they are not expensive items. You then will have to use axle stands as replacing the link means head under wheel arch and levering the anti roll bar to line up the link. Look at the new link as usually you have to insert a hexagon wrench (allen key) in the end and use a ring spanner otherwise the joint turns rather than unscrews.|||No you dont check anti roll bar links this way because they will be free to move when the vehicle is raised.





you check them why its on the ground. get under the car and tug at the links to check for play.
