Is it worth bothereding about slight advisory from mot?

- 2 rear anti roll bar linkage have very slight play in ball joints


- front offside track rod end slight play





is it worth bothering about these, are they expensive jobs, probably tackle them myself with the haynes, but parts cost wise?|||Good lad - get them done, they won't get any better!


Parts are dirt cheap so it's an ideal DIY job.|||strange that it should have passed with worn or even slightly worn track rod end, to replace its about 拢15 max for the part, easy to change, but you will need to get wheel alignment reset afterwards,( tracking)


the roll bar bushes, don't bother, you could try forcing some grease in and around them, just might stop then knocking or squeaking.|||I agree with JG on this, they're not going to get any better and it is a task you can undertake yourself with the Haynes manual and a few tools. A good intro to DIY, not too "techy".|||yes they are worth bothering about ...otherwise the mot inspector would have not advised ...what some inspectors advise ..another would fail it ..nearly 30% of cars fail on steering and suspension etc ...these guys keep us safe
